A Unique Photographic Experience!!!
Another educational and enjoyable workshop with Colby Brown, joined this time by guides Albert Dros and Cruz Quinn who were also excellent. We stayed in a very nice hotel overlooking the ice fjord and close to the harbour. Every night we went out on the 2 sailing boats to look for photo opportunities and took it in turns posing for each other with the red sails up. Depending on where you come from sleep patterns are rather disrupted with being out on the boats from around 10pm-6am every day and then sleeping during the day. Sunlight was 24 hours in July with the sun dipping to the horizon around 2am providing some beautiful light for photography. The icebergs are very impressive and quite surreal, we were lucky with good weather every day. We ate out at a local settlement one night where we saw sled dog puppies and a couple of whales on the way there. It was also the first time I had used a drone and with help and support from the guides I got some good images and video from the air too. It got chilly on the boats but they are very comfortable with seating areas for warming up inside, great crew, good supplies of hot drinks and snacks and equipped with toilets. I definitely recommend this workshop to visit a special place and for some unique landscape photographs of icebergs.
