Hey everyone! Welcome to part 3, the final part of my photography vlogs from Antarctica! Today's expeditions were some of the most challenging conditions I've ever had to experience with photography yet. You don't normally do portrait sessions in windy and snowy conditions ;) For this trip, Brendan Van Son invited me to speak about portrait photography on board the floating photography conference to Antarctica with 8 other photographers. We also had the chance to explore more of Antarctica on the zodiacs to take photos. Check out the other videos below

Thank you Julia, great photos. I also subscribe to Courtney's channel and she has the most quirky videos 😂😂😂. She captures really beautiful images of landscape and fungii. Did she share any of her dance moves with the crew?

@JuliaTrotti I've really loved seeing your amazing Argentinian and Antarctic adventures! That seal looked kind of lonely. If you are an Antarctic seal, what do you spend your days thinking about? Do you mostly wish you had fish, have fish, eat fish, and sleep, or do you think deep seal thoughts and wonder what those weird two legged things are that keep floating across the water on strange icebergs, catching no fish at all, and then floating away?

The Penguins 🐧 are excellent subjects for a cold 🥶 but focused Julia 📸 . The whales 🐋 are sharp as well. Nature , at its finest 🙂.

Hi Julia, the photos of your trip have an amazing quality. I have a question to your trip. Did your trip did not pass South Georgia and the Falkland Islands? At South Georgia you will find a lot of fur seal puppies and the bigger King Penguins. They will come very close to human (less than 1m). It is a comparable situation like visiting dog puppies at a breeder. At Falkland Islands you will find Albatros puppies and the real jumping Rockhopper Penguins.

Thank you! We headed straight for Antarctica on this particular trip, but you can do other trips that stop by those islands if you like too. They look incredible for wildlife photography!

so cool! how much does an experience like this cost?

@dhdavidholloway Ай бұрын

Do you know how often excursions are cancelled due to conditions. I would like to go but it is expensive for such a short trip especially when things are cancelled.

@archuro8693 Ай бұрын

Do they allow you to fly drone? On a safe distance of course?

@michael2968 Ай бұрын

what focal length would be good to take for that trip? im doing it either end of this year or next. i just dont want to spend $8000 on a 600mm lens ill never use after that.

@Spahahatn Ай бұрын

Hello there. I worked as a professional Photographer in Antarctica and first off I cant recommend a 600mm prime for your case. The lense is incredible but you lack flexibility. Very often you will not be able to move arround a lot and then a zoom Lense is unbeatable. I used mostly a 200-600 for Wildlife and had a 24-105 on a second body. Can also recommend a 100-400 for Wildlife. Used this one for a whole year.

@@Spahahatn thanks, just wasnt sure how close to the wildlife you actually get on this trip as to what focal length would be enough to get good shots.

@Spahahatn Ай бұрын

It also highly depends on your mainfocus. Penguins: On the landings very close. 100-400 would be enough. Whales: It depends. Sometimes 100-400 is to short sometimes 200-600 is to much zoom. Highly depends on the enclosre. Birds: Here I would say a 200-600 is better. Especially in the Drakes Passage. Here you have a great chance to take pictures of Albatrosses and Giant Storm Petrels and some others. Here I was usually happy to have 200-600 but I also had situations in which 100-400 would have been better. Landscape: Here it depends also a lot on your taste. 100-400 is quite suitable for some landscape shots. 200-600 I would a bit less. But also took great ones with the 200-600. There is also another thing to consider. I am a Sony user so this maybe only applies to Sony. The 100-400 is a external Zoom. Sony claims that it is water resistant but I always had my doubts. Also the Zoom of the 100-400 is quite rough and sometimes I missed a shot because of it. The 200-600 on the other side has a internal Zoom and the zoom is smooth as butter in the morning. I hope this helped you. Take care
