Magnificent Antarctica

So easy to shoot and so convenient, this was taken on the spur of the moment from the stern of the MS Zaandam in Antarctica in February 2016, with no tweaking or editing. I normally shoot video with a semi-pro camcorder, but I decided to try a pano shot on my new iPhone 6s. I’m delighted with the result. For me, it captures the magnificence of a location that few of us have the privilege to visit. The colours are sharp and in focus, and other passengers with very expensive cameras couldn’t believe the shot was from an iPhone! I feel a bit of a fraud – I rarely take photos as I prefer video. The photo of me was also taken in Antarctica, with the iceberg behind me!
