Northern fulmar gliding over a calm sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Heading North along the western edge of Spitsbergen toward the pack ice we encountered some variable conditions, one of which was a period of calm and very still water. This gave some opportunities for some different images and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Photo<\/a>
A Northern fulmar races it’s reflection between the lines of a still sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Taking multiple images is a good strategy as the lines of the water and shapes of the reflections vary continually and some work well while others look deformed <\/p>\n\n\n

Generally when processing images I tend to enhance contrast in the subject and reduce it in the background but with images like this where the textures and lines of the surrounding area are a feature it can be better to accentuate that with increased contrast too.<\/p>\n\n\n
