Reflections on the Arctic Sea

The Random Travelers' Society went on a little boating trip in the middle of absolutely nowhere. An icy lagoon in Eastern Greenland. It's fascinating how still the waters are in the Arctic Sea -- the icebergs have wonderful blue hues, there's no animals (we only saw one seal, one whale and a couple of gulls during the half-day trip). August 2008.

Stunning! It's amazing how you have been able to get the details to the reflections on the water, and still expose all areas correctly.. I always end up water moving between shots and get mediocre results on reflections.
