Both Franco and Daisy will be keen to assist guests onboard with their own photography and will advise how to get the very best from their camera, however basic or specialised the model. They will be on hand to offer photographic tips and advice, be that choosing the correct settings or sharing ideas on how to capture the dramatic scenery and fascinating wildlife of Antarctica.
In March, Aqua-Firma will be offering further photography workshops in their 12 day.
Antarctic Peninsula & Weddell Sea - Wildlife, Marine Life & Adventure Voyage. Photography will be one element of an action packed 'adventure voyage', including such activities as field camping on the ice, snow shoe trekking, glacier walking and sea kayaking. For experienced drysuit divers, a full programme of diving is available. Whilst Antarctica boasts some of the most dramatic polar landscapes on the planet, the Weddell Sea is home to the world's largest penguin (the Emperor penguin) and the world's largest icebergs. Among the experts onboard will be Aqua-Firma Marine Scientist, Charlotte Caffrey, and former British Antarctic Survey Dive Officer, Kelvin Murray. Whether you dive or not, these leaders will make use of film and photographic footage brought to the surface by divers to provide an insight into the diverse and colourful marine life of Antarctica.
