Thank Gabriela, nice to have you back and once you have got back into the swing of everything, hopefully we will see you posting.
Unlike game drives, where most of the time you can control/orchestrate events as you are fully aware, but with these guys they can be so unpredictable and safety comes first. Being so close you CANNOT be on the pack ice, if you could then this scenario would offer a better POV for sure, sadly, you therefore must work from the ship. If I was to go more to the left I would then be at the bow, another 4ft higher, looking more directly down at the PB and so would have a more
'compressed' POV. Therefore the only option was to shoot from the middle part of our little ship which is the lowest part, but I felt gave you some element of height, but again, we all see things differently, but its a case where.... you need to be there to understand and appreciate the limitations.
Sadly only young Gerald has been to this region and can appreciate the limitations.
