4:50 I wish you had been able to meet up with him on that trip. I heard the bad news that Alyn passed away last night. RIP to a talented, and generous photographer who shared his knowledge and inspired many.

It was a pleasure sharing the time in Antartica with you Adam. Ireally enjoyed watching this and seeing your view of our time there. Gorgeous images too 👍🏻 Hopefully see you at the NEC!

Yes for sure! I'm looking forward to checking out your vid when it's all done. Cheers mate!

I was genuinely bowled over by the quality and colours in your images Adam. I don't know whether it is attributable to colour science, lens or editing prowess, but they are some of the best, if not the best, I've seen of the Antarctica.

I'm so glad you and Mads did videos for this trip. It's a chance for me to see a place that I may never get to. Your images are gorgeous. Thank you! It's too bad Nigel is burned out on doing videos. He will be missed.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful experience. Your photos are wonderful and breathtaking.

Karen is a one and only!! How you find and fix luggage in Mexico City is a real accomplishment! Jeroen needs a name change! Actors do it all the time :-) Glad it worked out. Beautiful shots and videos.

We loved our trip down there. Did the three week one out of Ushuaia back in 2007. I wish I was more into photography then like I am now but still some great photos and excellent experience.

Awesome!

I'm glad you included your thoughts on how your attitude and approach were different on all three trips. While planning and goals are good, one thing I have learned from you, and a few others, is not to make high expectations that, if not met, can spoil the excitement of an adventure, but rather just be open to making the most of each location. Also, this was timely as I recently attended an annual dinner of our local Audubon club and the speaker was a fellow who has been to Antartica, and all over the world actually, photographing all eighteen species of penguins! Although his mission was not solely photography, your video augments the joy (and tribulations!) of travel and nature. P.S. Karen is a saint for saving your behind - literally!!

Some superb landscapes here Adam.

Outstanding

It looks wonderful! I like your images better than some from from another traveler in your mentioned group. All are good I just like yours better.

What an amazing workshop that must have been! Glad your luggage caught up with you, Adam. I know what that’s like! I’ve just watched Mads’ version of Antarctica, and it’s wonderful to see the different perspectives and images you both shot! Loved it! A fantastic experience for you all!🇦🇺

It's a bummer there's no panoramic digital cameras out there. I understand why, no one's going to spend the money to make a wide aspect sensor for something that won't sell much, but it still kind of stings that the only option is to buy a high MP camera and crop 2/3 the pixels out. That said, the panos you came home with are bonkers good! That mottled light shot @5:40 is my jam.

Classy Adam

A lovely body of images sir, well done! You need some merch designed around that baby seal ;-)

As always your pics make me exceptionally envious, I did see you at the NEC which I really enjoyed, I bought the filters you gave me advice on, and for me and ease of use they are superb so thank you for that.

What stunning images Adam!! THe travel plan sounded like a worst nightmare for any traveler.... Close attention to departure times is critical, i'm sure you will agree!! So gland you made it there and captured such a magnificent portfolio of images.

Thank you very much for bringing me back to Antarctica. I was there in January and didn't even mind the seasickness on the Drake. As you remarked, I love the 24x65 crop in the Fuji GFX, too - especially the possiblity to change crop in the editing. Sometimes I decide of using the full format instead of the crop.

Wow the ultimate experience . Well lots of Penguins. But what Landscapes awesome Adam . On my bucket list 👍

Adam, I somehow missed this video, so late to comment. Firstly, I loved the series of photographs at the end using the play of light to create almost abstract dreamy landscapes. I was also interested in your thoughts about using different aspect ratios in camera as a reference for when you bring the image into post. I can never understand photographers who don't do this and just leave it to post to work out what might work. In my opinion, it is one of the best features of modern cameras. It allows you to frame precisely to an aspect ratio at the point of capture and not have to second guess it might work.

Hopefully I'll see you at the show on Sunday

Like a lot of people, I'm unlikely to ever go due to cost, but your video really gave a sense of the trips you have made... thank you for letting me tag along ...

wonderful picturesque images. I particularly like the panoramic photos in 6x17 ratio. Makes me dust off my Shen Hao 617 and prepare a trip to the coast…

So many great photographs to see in this episode. It’s almost a shame that they are just shown for such a short time. No wonder you made a book out of this amazing collection!

One of those trips would be a dream! Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to see Antarctica.

Well done Adam ! So much fun reliving a shared truly amazing experience !!! And happy you weren’t only wearing one pair of underwear 😂🤣🤣Best, mate ! Cheers 🎉

Stunning images. And amazing how each trip has been so different. A missing bag though. . . .crikey. That would have stressed me beyond belief!!!!

Ordered Antarctica, cant wait…😊

Funny thing, Adam, when you mentioned your lack of attention causing your flight problems, I was reminded of losing your Antarctica booklet. I ordered it several years ago along with a calendar. The calendar had one destination as a Christmas present and the booklet another. So I separated them and haven't seen the booklet since then. It's in the house somewhere and someday I or someone else will find it and be delighted. At least I think that this all happened. lol

I hope you make a book of this trip

Great trip, and awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. Even though you said your second trip was toward the end of the pandemic, it has not ended. The SARS-CoV-2 virus still kills thousands of people around the world each month, saddles still more with chronic symptoms known as Long COVID, and continues to evolve, with the highly transmissible JN.1 variant recently causing waves of infection across the globe.

The shot at 14:49 is very nice indeed… as is the ending sequence

Wonderful images and an equally exciting experience in Antarctica! I tried to imagine having only one pair of underwear and asking if you could "borrow" a pair and would they want them back? Great video as usual! When do you get a chance to be home?

Adam, I also went there in 2008. A piece of very sage advice from our National Geogpahic photographer on board told us to yes, take pictures, but put our cameras down and actually look at what you are seeing. How cool was that?

Can I ask when you goes on those kind of trip, how many camera body (GFX 100S) you will bring ? Thanks for the video

No I didn't but I understand that it was brought down by seals. The penguin population doesn't seem to be affected at this point.

Great photos. I was worried for a second there at 6:03 that you might be using penguin shit stains as leading lines, but it's grass/moss, right? :D Edit: Also, the big "ship" and the small ship at 14:34 is super cool!

Your account of your third trip contains many lessons to be heeded by first timers. Antarctica has long been on my list, but up against competition for access to the piggy bank. You have nudged it up the priority ranking.

According to flat earthers no one is allowed to visit Antarctica and all visitors are immediately apprehended by the military if they try to approach it… 😂 Did you witness any mass arrests? 😂
