OK, perhaps one last image before packing my 'bucket & spade' and head off to warmer climates, however I may squeeze one more image in tomorrow, if time allows.
One from the archives, but I do think, it's important that we all try to showcase different animals when we can, plus having the opportunity/experience to do so will always help improve your photograph IMHO.
Shot from an almost stationary ship albeit reasonably small, as it carved through the pack ice. A nice opportunity to photograph one of my favourite animals, the Polar Bear, at times hard to locate because of the vast expanse and being a very similar colour to the environment. Can be a little challenging as Rachel knows when the ship has that slight rolling motion to always keep the subject 'in frame' LOL, but you can easily deal with this.
Thanks for either viewing or commenting on the previous image.

. The subject did the hard work in posing, I just had to press a button every now and then, but have learnt so much since this was taken, hence as I said, we are constantly evolving, changing and progressing the more we do, both 'in the field' and 'in our processing' as technology and software improves.
