| Through
icebergs
At
this point we realized that reality far surpassed our wildest
imaginations. Not only did majestic icebergs drift by, but
entire ice-Alps of fantastic shapes and sizes passed in front
of us. We had definitely ended up in one of the world's most
spectacular places. For three days we paddled northbound in
this eden, zigzagging between fantastic natural artwork.
One
picture of a series I took while the kayak was gliding by
a smaller ice formation. I really liked the different colours
of ice and the transparency uplit by the sun. I think this
picture preserved all that. Tough exposure for the camera
but it managed it well (I used the P program here). The sensor
had some slight overflow in the sun that I had to repair in
Photoshop. Other than that it is not modified. The star-shaped
glitter comes naturally from the Sigma lens. I had no weird
filters. Nikon D70, Sigma 15mm 1/640 sec f/13.

is what you see if you put your head inside an iceberg.
An amazing world inside an amazing world. It needed to
be documented. Nikon D70, Sigma 15mm 1/100 sec f/22. |

Per's
sickness continued unabated and soon we were both very sick,
but the landscape compensated for our bad condition. We weren't
going to let poor health stop us.
Per
complained that while he caught some serious codfish, one
after the other, I was passive with my camera. But suddenly
when he caught this "freak" fish I was all over it. Bottom
line: This image does not represent Per's serious fishing
skills very well but the fish is very photogenic. Nikon D70,
Sigma 15mm. 1/30 sec f/8. This image was slightly but not
fully bent back in Panorama Tools.
