AV News 190 - November 2012 For those who are interested in the equipment, two Canon cameras were used, an EOS 5d with a 24-105 mm zoom lens and an EOS 30d with a 100-400 zoom lens. Some of the pictures were taken when exploring in a Zodiac - quite a challenge with around a dozen people in such a confined space. In windy conditions the Zodiac often feels like riding a bucking bronco in freezing temperatures! When making presentations my priority is to be faithful to the subject matter. This means a minimum of adjustment to the basic images. In Norway there is now a move afoot in nature photography for images that have been digitally manipulated to be identified as such. I agree with this point of view. My presentation 'On the Beach', which was also shown at the Festival, comes from the other end of the earth - the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. In November 2010 I went on a three-week expedition cruise to South Georgia with shorter stops at the Falkland Islands (where the sequence was photographed). I am now in love with both the far north and the far south. Page 29
