New on the Tubes – "Are cruises in Japan a good experience for photographers?" https://youtu.be/-5INJ2eLi_E

Deep dive into the good and not so good issues when travelling around Japan on an small expedition ship trying to capture photos. I'll share some advice to get the most from your journey, and share a bunch of lovely images from my recent gig with Heritage Expeditions.

Will appear on PeerTube in a few hours too: https://makertube.net/c/ewen/videos

Those moments when nature comes in close for a look. #KimberleyCoast #Photography #HeritageExpeditions #Lumix

On these voyages I try to make sure the ship itself is a feature of the photography. And why not. It's our home away from home. It's what makes such a journey possible. We step out into the wilderness for a few hours at a time, then return to the safety and comfort of our steel hull.

It's a little bit surreal.

I love the hues of the Kimberley bush. They are not loud or raucous, but gentle and earthy. I feel calm here.

Walking through scrub in search of rock art. I found myself spending more time with the flowers and butterflies. The art has been there for thousands of years, yet the butterflies are momentary visitors!

Sometimes the rock is the art. We were visiting a sneaky little Gwion Gwion art site and the light was dancing with the rocks. The folks who live up this way ask that people do not share images of the rock art itself, whether that be Wandjina or Gwion Gwion or other.

Most of my macro shots from this series are captured on the LUMIX S9 with a 100mm Macro, but this moment was with the G9II and 100-400mm telephoto instead. You can still get some lovely bokeh without a macro lens :)

This vignette of geology and flora is quintessential to my Kimberley experience. The sandstone is so ancient, the remnants of former uplift now weathered down to a thin layer. Big rocks become small rocks. Small rocks become sand. The spinifex grass survives and thrives in this nutrient poor environment, it's needles coated with resin to keep in the moisture and keep out the grazers.

The geology of the Kimberley region is absolutely fascinating. These trips are always better with a dedicated geologist on board to get excited about geological time frames.

This is the ship we get around in. It's a bit special and very comfy. I'm used to smaller ships so the scale of it can be a little daunting. For sure it's a nice place to come home to after a few hours of walking about the rocks and avoiding crocs on shore.

Two ways to see the same moment, at f1.7 on a 20mm lens. Shot taken with the 10-25mm F1.7 zoom, a superb lens for MFT cameras. It's big, but beautiful. It's making this trip very rewarding indeed.

Was there in January! Had a touch of blue sky in between the showers, and plenty of lovely mega-herbs. Wonderful place to experience.

Royal Penguin on the beach at Macquarie Island. Amazing little creatures, each and every one of them full of personality and bravado.

Wrapping up my editing for the Macquarie Island trip. Was taking roughly 7,000 frames a day with the burst mode on. That's a lot of files to delete.

Also, penguins can fly!

Watching the penguin pairs coming ashore is really something else. Moments of tenderness that are so expressive.

Fifteen years ago I got a chance to sail down to Macquarie Island, the last stop before you reach the Antarctic Confluence and the ice of East Antarctica.

Last week I got a chance to go back, and the Royal Penguins did not dissapoint. They are amazing little critters, full of personality and curiosity.
