Well, it was the user not the camera ;-) I was all set to use a  
tripod and long lenes etc, but in reality, most of the really good  
opportunities came on the Zodiac's and the 'blad was a little  
"cumbersome" especially when I tried to set up the tripod ;-) There  
are some b/w images of ice I'm happy with, but my slides were mostly  
wrongly exposed: its quite "harsh" light and I needed more  
"experience" , so that's where the instant feed back wiht the digital  
was most useful

Antarctica is one of the best trips I've ever had and I would  
strongly recommend it to anyone. Our images are at:

If you have not already seen them.
