62 Feb 23 Reply Hi Emil,
I am familiar with that technique, but for my Antarctica photos my aim is to depict the actual conditions. Most of the time the water looked like this--constant light chop. That's much better than the days with greater than 12 foot swells where photography wasn't possible without risking one's life to fall overboard!

62 Feb 23 Reply Hi Pete,
A challenge of taking photographs from a moving ship or in a Zodiac on choppy seas is that any image captured under 1/500 of a second is soft. This is further complicated by the fact that the ice is moving in the opposite direction! Most things I captured (except for iPhone) were are at least 1/1000 sec. I would have needed a tripod on land for a long exposure. I personally don't like the sea with this sort of chop, but that's Antarctica. I learned to "Embrace the chop." I do have few photos through ice channels where the water is super smooth, but the big bergs like this (which tend to be ship sized) are typically in open seas.

On this trip we had National Geographic photographers Jeff Mauritzen and Sue Forbes who gave workshops and photo critiques. As Nat Geo people, neither ever modified content nor did any extensive post processing. I learned quite a bit from them.
