Hi all i want to share a part of my trip to South Georgia from 2012, that trip was the best i ever made from the point of view when it comes to the adventure. Harsh conditions all the time , mass of animals in numbers , all very tame . Fighting the elements like snow storm, rain , fog etc.
This landing on south Georgia Island was the best for me , one of the largest King Penguin colonies on the Island , if i remember correctly up to 300.000 breeding pairs of them in peak season .
So have a look at the first sequence from the landing to the first images of the colony ............. more to come in this thread .
Hope you like it and you get an idea how it is like down there in October/November
Images taken with various lenses from wide to tele and two Camera bodies 1D MK III and IV
Editing was made quickly , more about the story so IQ could have suffered in parts , hope you do not mind .
Love the vibrant colours as well as emotional content in some of the images...
Amazing landscapes (or rather, animalscapes). I so enjoyed watching, the last image is superb and a great ending to the story.
Looking forward to your next thread, and I must say you are quite a story teller - what a pleasant surprise, but then I knew there's a softer side to Mr. Liedmann...
Thanks Gabriela , Rachel and Marc for your kind comments , much appreciated.
Marc do not know why i did not post them waited for this forum .
Been to Svalbard and South Georgia .......... well my pick would be again South Georgia for numerous reasons , one would be the greater diversity down there and more important you can move freely without getting caught by any predator .
Killer series here that tell us such a great story and gives us an idea of what to expect in this area in terms of climate, species and environment. The last frame is my favorite!
