The sounds of Antarctica 🎶 After sailing down to the Antarctica peninsula, I had the opportunity to spend time some documenting Gentoo penguins. It takes a minute to get used to the smell, but once you’re settled on shore, the sounds and visuals of the polar landscape and the Gentoos are truly mesmerising. #antarctica

Ten creative composition techniques for capturing Japan’s volcanoes! With @riki_shinagawa / “Japan is home to over 100 active volcanoes, making it one of the most volcanically active countries in the world. Besides being incredible geological phenomena, volcanoes are natural art forms sculpted over millennia, and today, they offer dramatic silhouettes to create unique artworks. In this series, you can find ten compositions featuring multiple locations across Japan. Scroll to compare and find the spots below for your upcoming adventure! 1) Lake Kawaguchiko - see pics 1, 2, 6 and 8 Lake Kawaguchiko is the most accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes, with convenient train and direct bus connections to Tokyo. The northern shores provide the best views of Mount Fuji, especially during the cherry blossom season in mid-April and the autumn foliage in early November. The “Momiji Tunnel,” a picturesque maple tree-lined road located further west, is ideal for capturing the vibrant autumn colors. 2) Fujiyoshida City - see pics 3 and 7 Fujiyoshida is a city located near Mt. Fuji. It serves as the starting point for climbers at the Mt. Fuji 5th Station and is also home to Fuji-Q Highland. The city is a hub for outdoor activities, including trail running and hill climbing. 3) Oshino Hakkai - see pic. 4 Oshino Hakkai, with its crystal-clear springs and traditional thatched-roof houses, provides a glimpse into the harmony between nature and culture. Here, the volcanic soil nurtures lush greenery, creating a beautiful contrast against the starkness of Mount Fuji. 4) Saiko Iyashi No Sato - see pic. 5 Iyashi no Sato is on the site of an old farming village on the western shores of Lake Saiko. After a typhoon in 1966, they built an open-air museum and craft village. 5) Shizuoka - see pic. 9 Shizuoka, located along Suruga Bay between Tokyo and Nagoya on the historic Tokaido route, is famous for producing much of Japan’s tea and its significant shrines. The city is home to Miho-no-Matsubara Pine Grove, known for its views of Mt. Fuji and the Nihondaira Plateau, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean and tea farms.” @nomadict: Which composition did you enjoy the most? 📸

Beautiful people of Omo valley Ethiopia. Suri tribe is known for their artistic floral decorations, they are true artists in heart and soul! I enjoyed every minute of camping in their village - they are very friendly, curious and so happy to see us too! This December we organize photography tour to Omo valley - just for a small group of 8 people guided by @andympics - if you remember my stories from our scouting expedition we had absolutely wonderful time and experience so want to share it with a small group this December. Andy will take reflector, light, large studio background, generator, private chef - you just need a portrait lens and a Godox trigger. Three nights you camp in the beautiful forest by the clean river and other nights you will stay in nice quiet nature resorts. Check link in bio - spots are limited just to 8 guests.
