Don't think this chap would be too popular at Donna Nook would he :biggrin:
Jeez - can you imagine it..........

Lovely contextual shot John - the enviroment just leaves me in awe.
I'd kill to go there I can tell you - emporer penguins would be my 'thing' though - if I could just sit down surrounded by these guys going about their business, never mind the smell, it would be a case of 'shoot me now 'cos it won't get any better than this'...........

Best Regards

Hi John. A superb contextual image. How did you meter this? Was it test exposures or did you spot meter from the seal? Love this kind of photography. :toast: Did you organise the trip yourself or did you go on a tour? If so, which? Sorry for being nosey, but I'm looking at the Antarctic for my big trip of 2008. :toast:

Hi Guys and Ladies thanks for your comments. Elliott I went with the Andy Rouse Trip. As far as exposure goes I try and keep checking for the History on Highlights and alter accordingly. I hope this helps.
