Thanks Barney!

Thanks for the kind words Marike - I have thought about the 70-400 G2. It certainly would be useful to have a fully weather sealed kit. I'm also intrigued by the Sigma 50-500, which Roger Cicala...

Some fair points here. I'm working on reducing the size of the watermark. Piracy is better than obscurity, I suppose.

Thanks Jimmy - glad to see another user of an a77. I think it's a highly underrated camera.

Nope - those are king penguins in South Georgia.

I love penguins and Adobe products :).

Thanks for the comment RStyga. I think their are valid points on both sides, but ultimately I decided to reduce the watermark size. The new images should go live today or tmr. Ultimately, piracy is...

Thanks for the reply Chuck. Yes, it was incredibly fortunate to have the private charter, and I think this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip! I've always found Sony cameras (I had an a200,...

Thanks Alan - we were traveling in the middle of the culling actually. We saw lots of corpses getting eaten by skuas and petrels. The science team removed most of the meat and just left the skin...

Thanks Marti - this looks perfect.

Hi Don, The ship was about 50 ft from waterline to the top of its antenna.  Thanks for reading!  I can't recommend an Antarctica cruise more fully.  Eric

Thanks Oscarroos, j2l3m7, and winniepoo!

Hey Grace! Hmm that's a tough one. South Georgia was the most other-worldly, but we were their past peak season, so I would expect it to be even better in Dec/Jan. The peninsula was of course...

Thanks Stefan! Love the flower shot on your homepage - very striking.

The organizer was a professional naturalist and emailed a mailing list I was on. Very serendipitous!

Hi DPReviewers! A few months back I posted in this forum to get some advice on shooting in Antarctica. Now that I’m back, I wanted to follow up with a few thoughts on what worked and what didn’t...

Hi CanonShooter, I was there for 5 weeks, of which 2 were just in-transit between destinations. It was definitely the most amazing trip I've ever been on! Eric
