With Bill's recent posting, plus, Rachel's comment 'Great to see a walrus on the ice' it reminded me to have a look back at the last time I was there, but it won't be the last, I love it .
For me, it was one of the better encounters because he was very cool & relaxed, weather was overcast so the snow & ice wasn't an issue, but sadly time was against us, we had to very quickly return back to ship ASAP, so no going for any more spins around this guy to get more frames. Just an extra 5 minutes would have be great, but if Magnus says back, we are back. Shooting from a fast moving zodiac causes it's own issues, but keep the SS (ISO 4000) & DoF high, all was good, the only issue was I needed to drop the framing down a fraction, so there was more water & pack ice at the foot of the frame, but hey...
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
