I wrote in a previous post about the difficulty conveying the magnitude of the Antarctic landscape in images and trying to include a known object to give a sense of scale.  The following series of photos taken at Paradise Harbour again illustrate this point and emphasis the enormity of the landscape. Before visiting it was hard to comprehend the fact that approximately 90% of Earth’s fresh water is locked in the glaciers of Antarctica, but having witnessed such huge scenes, even in a very limited part of Antarctica, it almost seems surprising that it is only 90%.

All photos with Nikon D810 and 24-120mm f4 VR lens. The first image is a crop from the second which highlights one of the benefits of the B810 high resolution sensor. The other quality that I really enjoy is the fantastic dynamic range when compared with the D3s. This gives a lot more adjustment options in processing, making the D810 my preferred camera unless specifically needing a high frame rate for sports or occasionally birds in flight.
