This is where the water ran out and there was only ice ahead...

This is what it looks like at the very end of the world...

This is what it looks like at the very end of the world...I always thought of it as the beginning.

Cool shots. Ive been as far as Macquarie island & was glad to turn around.

PS..care to share your B&W method ?:deal They are great :thumb

Magnificent photos. This wouldn't happen to have been in Nov. 2004, would it? I have a friend that went down for a several days recreation of (part of) the Endurance adventure down there.

I love these shots.

I particularly like the way you capture the stark feel and remote'ness of the lanscape. Your contrasty B&W look even has a similar feel to Frank Hurley's original Endurance photos.

The original was shot in color in raw mode. I used 80% red channel 20% green channel in those shots. In the shot with the ship up in the ice, I also stretched the contrast of the sky quite a bit (it was a bit milky - not a bright blue like in the others). Using mostly the red channel also acted like a red filter on B&W film.

You'd have to work hard to take a bad picture down there!

No, this was January of 2004. I think I'd rather stay on the ice than cross the Drake again though.

Crackerjack shots, ondrovic. :thumb Love the B&W conversion, it looks great.

Great shots, black and white seems to be in its element in the artic regions. I seem to recall while in the USCG early 60's a CG photographer's mate won a first prize in a national comp for his picture of his icebreaker at Mcmurdo sound.
