A Week of Icebergs - Monday


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Iceberg In Drake Passage
Iceberg In Drake Passage
This is a view of yesterday's berg from behind. A circular polarizer enhanced the blues and with the brooding sky, it has surreal quality - it is one of my favorites. But tomorrow's will be a different berg. For those who mentioned the cold, it is summer in Antarctica and we only touched the northernmost tip of the continent. So temps ranged from 37°-47°F (3°-8°C). The wind chills were somewhat lower, but nothing like the -8°F (-22°C) here this morning. Nikkor 18-70@27mm; f10@1/400 sec.

Wally Orlowsky
  Thank you all for your remarks and support. The sky and the icebergs do seem much bluer in Antarctica than I remember in Alaska. The air is remarkably clear. Tomorrow's shot will show the very deep blues in some icebergs as well as offer some explanation ... thanks again and stay tuned ;)

  This is truly incredible. Gorgeous colors, great composition. What crossed my mind was what a hard jigsaw puzzle this would make with all the shades of blue/white. :)

  I have spent half the day thinking about this image, leaving the computer just to come back and gaze at this once again, trying to figure a way to tell you what it does to me.
This is no where near enough... but it fascinates me with it's beauty, it's uniqueness. Marvelous job, Wally.
