    I can see why Antactica is a favourite spot for you, Denis.  It is definitely high on our list of places to visit. 
    I am sure weather is a major challenge in doing expedition photography – especially when it is a paid engagement and you must shoot when you can. 
    We always talk to locals for ideas of where to go. It is a good tip to remember to appreciate the moment. We love looking back on our photos and video. But love even more remembering the full sensory experience of the moment.  

  5. This is really interesting & amazing photographs too. The idea of packing all that equipment for all climates would blow my mind. Thanks for sharing…great insights

    Awesome post, some great tips here I hadn’t thought about! And being prepared for changing weather is must for sure!

  9. I, for one always underestimate the weather! Really should be prepared for all seasons when I travel but I don’t. It’s great to read some very good points on prep for photography here which I’m sure to use in the future. 

  10. Thank you for sharing these tips, preparation seems to be the thing we all underestimate. Will there be more articles from travel photographers or guides? I’d love to read more. 

  11. Some really great tips there for photographers! In general, photography requires a lot of patience having to wait for that right sunset, that timing of catching the eagle soar, or bear yawning. Whatever it is, like you say it’s important to remember to enjoy it (not just the outcome).

  12. This is a fantastic post! Participating in these expeditions must be such an incredible experience! So jealous of the natural beauty you must have seen through all of them!

  13. What great tips for photographers! I like your expeditions & amazing photos. I would love to photograph penguins in their natural habitat. It is my dream.

  14. Wow this is such an insightful post in the world of expedition travel and photography. Antarctica is on my lifetime wish list trip, had also previously got selected for one expedition program under Robert Swan but because of the roadblocks in funding, couldn’t go.
    Thanks for sharing this, followed your IG Denis Elterman’s!
