Iceberg ahead!

I can almost feel the cold, Rick! Very original. I like the contrast of the (seeming) size of the iceberg and the ship. How come there are no water droplets visible on the glass ? Best regards. Peter

Hi Peter, the trick is to wipe a thin film of clear shampoo over the Perspex dome of the underwater housing. The plastic surface is very hydropobic and water beads up; shampoo (or any detergent) makes the surface hydrophilic and water just spreads to a very thin layer that is invisible.

I really like this a lot. Where's all of your other underwater shots?:)

A cold excellent result!

Perfect!

Quite an incredible shot!  And, thanks for the tip on not getting water drops on the camera cover.

Truly exceptional image!

Thanks all for your encouragement. I wanted to take some different pictures on my trip to Antarctica and planned to try and photograph the icebergs above and below not really knowing how successful I would be. It is a rather hit and miss affair - out of 400 shots, I have about 10 keepers; this is my favorite one.

great shot Rick, amazingly so...these are two images are they not?  ok, i see you used a fisheye to capture it...national geographic stuff here...regards....David

Thanks David, just one shot. It's a rather hit and miss affair trying to judge when the camera is exactly half in and half out of the water. Even small ripples on the surface can make a big difference; I have a couple of shots where you can only see the top of the mast of the ship because of small ripples.
