On that foggy night, we circled this bergy bit (see previous post) a few times. Some of the photographers on the boat didn't have wide enough lenses to take it in, so they asked the captain to back away and as we did, it began to fade into the fog. This is the 'foggiest' of the foggy images I've posted, almost painterly in its softness, but I like it as it represents the quiet and mystery of that night quite well.

This is the last image I'll post from my trip to Greenland. Thank you so much for the all your favs and, especially, your comments. They have meant a lot to me. I have no photography trips planned until December, so it might be a while before you see more images from me, but I hope to keep up with all your images in the meantime. Again, thank you!

If you read the blog, you know that the images I've posted so far represent only the last day (in fact, the last hour, really) of my time in Greenland (well, except for one image). Except for the first foggy night (images to come) the rest of the days and the great majority of the visit consisted of bright blue skies with harsh light. We went out on the water anyway and saw some amazing icebergs, this one being one of my favourites (both beautiful and huge - the arch being, probably, over 100 feet tall).. The question then became, what do you do with images shot in less-than-optimum conditions? It became an interesting, sometimes frustrating, challenge for me. I present now a small mini-collection of high key images from those days. I have come to like them quite a bit and I hope you do, too.

I'm so terrible at names for photographs that I might all of theses Greenland Iceberg Study I, Greenland Iceberg Study II, etc.

If you read my blog about the trip to Greenland, you will have seen that we had many days of bright blue skies on the trip. With the 24 hours of sun in July, that means very little soft light, but we got lucky on our last day with some clouds right before we left. In bright sunlight, the icebergs look white, but in overcast conditions, you can see such beautiful blues and greens and aquas.

Taken very near the end of the last day in Ilulissat, this is a view of the icebergs at the mouth of the Jakobshavn icefjord just as they are about to launch into Disko Bay, and then into the North Atlantic. I loved the way the light was striking them against the darkening clouds.

This is the first image I've produced from a trip to Greenland that I took in July. Well, I say 'to Greenland', but I only scratched the surface of that amazing place. I went to Ilulissat (an Inuit word meaning 'icebergs') to see the amazing icebergs of Disko Bay. Last year I went to Newfoundland, chasing icebergs. The icebergs I saw there would have originated in Greenland 2-3 years before they got to Newfoundland. It's easy to see the difference - the icebergs I saw in July were HUGE. It's so hard to judge size - and even harder to convey it in an image - but this tower was only part of a huge and quite magnificent iceberg that I think was 150-200 feet tall. If you'd like read the whole story of my trip and see a still from a drone shot of this iceberg which gives you the idea of the scale, take a look at my blog post about the trip.

Apologies for my absence from Flickr lately. I've been busy and distracted, but I have tried to drop in once in a while to see what you're all doing. I'll try harder now.
