Paradise Bay Panoramic
This panoramic photograph was taken in a part of the Antarctic Peninsula called Paradise Bay. At the time, we were docked up on the boat waiting to go on land and I was taking in the scenery around me. Unseasonably calm, the conditions were so tranquil and still that I was able to capture this shot from where I was standing, without so much as a ripple on the millpond water to unsettle the boat. In total, I took 18 portrait photographs to achieve this panoramic; gently manoeuvring my lens with each frame to capture each piece of the snowy jigsaw in as much detail as possible.
Naturally breathtaking, I chose to take a series of photographs to create this image to really pay homage to the landscapes. The majesty of the mountain and its encompassing range and the mirror-like quality of the water were works of artistry, exuding a wild beauty and natural drama that were hard to turn away from. Both reflecting and contrasting with the jagged lines of the land, I used the calm water of the foreground to add a sense of softness and symmetry. And, though the colours were beautiful, I later decided in post-production to convert the image to black and white to emphasise the scene’s textures and lines and highlight the elegance in raw nature.
