Tripod Photographer Goes Handheld: Antarctica Photography

- In this video I ditch the tripod for some handheld landscape and wildlife photography in the most incredible location; Antarctica. Armed with a Nikon DSLR setup, I experience heavy winds, moving boats and waddling Gentoos on a once in a lifetime photographic experience!

"I realized I didn't have to box myself into one type of photography. Here I didn't have to be a landscape photographer - I could just be a photographer." Amen, sister! Is that a philosophy you'll take back with you when you return home? You're landscapes are stunning, and it'd be great to see you lend that talent and that eye to new ideas.
Absolutely! I hadn't realised I was boxing myself in a little, so I'm looking forward to moving forwards with a fresh mentality. Thanks Thomas!
I didn't have to be a landscape photographer - I could just be a photographer. I'm so glad you made that statement. I really don't have a desire to specialize my hobby. I just want to take pictures. I take pictures of family and friends, graffiti on the sides of train boxcars, bridges, birds, my cats, clouds, stars, the moon, Christmas lights... etc... etc... etc... and I love all of it.
Another classic, by a very classy photographer.
Wow wow wow miss Victoria what a trip
Wow. Tripod based landscape photographer tries Antarctica and nails it!
This was an absolutely gorgeous video, from the wildlife, to the scenery and the colours in the icebergs. The photos are extraordinary too. What an incredible experience that must have been. Cannot wait to see the next video
Thank you, that's very kind! It most definitely was an incredible experience and reliving it while editing is fantastic too!
The freedom!!! I loved how you transitioned within one video! Lovely footage and stills 👌...
... your face at the end tho 😅😅😅
I consider myself an amateur art photographer. I'm an Australian living in Central Oregon U.S.A. There is a lot beautiful local landscape that I photograph but I can never capture the beauty that I see. Just about all rejects. You live in a so so location and shoot in miserable conditions (cold and rain) but come away with beautiful Images. Love to see what you could do in world class, warm, scenic locations. You have the eye to find beautiful images that others miss.. I watch all your videos in the hope that some of your skill rubs off on me. Looking forward to seeing all your Antarctic videos. (Another cold location) If non of your skills rub off you have made me buy some orange hiking boots..
There's potential everywhere for beautiful images, sometimes it takes longer to find than another location but they are there! Warmer climates could be interesting, I suppose I am used to colder locations! I would love to visit both Australia and Oregon. The Oregon coast looks very impressive!
Looks so beautiful there, can't wait for the next video !
I was longing for this! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure ❤️
Hi Courtney: This was a wonderful video. Thanks for creating and sharing. Keep well. . . Keith

Wow, that is just amazing!
Simply beautiful
WOW absolutely amazing

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video!
Superb video and stunning shots can’t wait for more🔥🔥🇬🇧
grande...posti bellissimi...non preoccuparti del tripod o dei video...sta riuscendo tutto benissimo. Complimenti, ciao Rob.
Welcome back. Great video and the lesson on being flexible. Thanks
Absolutely love this video, your captures are amazing, thank you for sharing such an amazing experience. x
Nice adventure! I love the shot with the penguin dancing and the ship slightly blurred in the background surrounded by ice... that one shot really tells the story, doesn't it? ᨒ
It does haha! I can't decide if it's dancing or running away from the ship. 'I'm not ready to go home yet!'
Beautiful images. I’m already looking forward to the next instalment 🤩
Awesome
Glad to see that you were having a good time on such a trip of a lifetime. Excellent video as ever. Thanks
Great video Courtney! Looks cold!!!!!!!!
I was really looking forward to seeing your adventure and it definitely did not disappoint!! Beautiful footage and photography! Can’t wait for part 2!
Awesome trip and great views, thanks for the video.
Very nice first experience here! Bravo!
You captured some absolutely stunning images Courtney. Very well done! Thanks so much for sharing your Antarctica adventure!!
a great video, PS a suggestion for the awkwardness in gear management, one thing, you could use a monopod, siriui make some which have a ball head on the base, with three extending feet, if, your pants have pockets (like a mechanics screwdriver pocket) you could put this foot into the pocket, and use the monopod as a brace, or guy to support the camera, like a shooting stock support, also this allows you to hold the camera during a lens change. ( or you could put a sock onto the monopod feet, folded up, and put it inside your goloshes, this would at least obey the ground rule, as the monopod stays inside your boots!
Thanks for sharing the impressions from Antartica. Love your pictures and videos with the penguins. You‘re definitely doing an excellent job in these new photography areas. Looking forward to the next video
WOW. You and the views are so beautiful.
Great Landscape and Video
A brilliant video presenting the challenges of photography in such conditions. You did a great job Victoria.
Thanks Courtney for sharing your experience with some great results.... very exciting & interesting location with so many subjects to photograph... always enjoy your work.. cheers from Australia 😀❤️

I always enjoy your videos, but this one is especially delightful. So fun to watch you outside of your usual environment!
well this was pretty awesome, great stills great video and awesome narrative, looking forward to the next one thanks for sharing.
Fabulous video Courtney! I'm so sorry to hear you got sea sick on the way over - it has to be one of the most truly miserable experiences. But great to see you out there enjoying such an amazing experience! So many wonderful images - fantastic wildlife but I love those photos of the mountains! And you also got some great shots of the icebergs too. Looking forward to part 2!
Looks cold, but what a great experience and some great pictures 👍
Absolutely brilliant vlog Courtney! Being handheld is so freeing, opening up a world of new photographic viewpoints ❄️❄️❄️
Wow what a fantastic video! Your photos are awesome!!! Hahahaha I could never go there because I live in sunny Florida were it's almost always summer!!!! Lol I am allergic to COLD🥶 !!!! I can't wait to see more of your adventures on the ice!!!!! You are so amazing!👍👍👍⛱️
Great video! I didn’t think it was possible for you to smile more than you usually do but I shouldn’t be surprised! What a trip!
Hi vic, I love it..., its amazing land

Love the sunset shot at 5:30! Looks like it was a great adventure - you're so very lucky.
Really nice video, liked it a lot! Also I really like photos as well. Nicely done! 😊🙏
Some truly awesome shots, almost as awesome as those last few seconds ha!
I quite enjoyed this video. I can appreciate the thoughtful compositions. My phone screen is black and white, it suited this video quite well.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. I'll have to go someday!
Fantastic video Courtney! Really wonderful to see Antarctica in it`s glory with some incredible captures!
Thank you very much!
I'm so happy you got to have this experience! You got some amazing images and video so far and completely deserve this trip! I've been watching your videos for a few months now and you have helped inspire me to start a TH-cam channel similar to yours! Just need to buy a few more things to get started. I'm very excited and I can't wait to start my journey and possibly make content like yours someday!
I've been waiting with some anticipation for the first video of your trip, and I wasn't disappointed, I loved the seal pics and the different colours of the ice. The penguins were cute. I can't wait for your next video
Found this video quite peaceful to watch. Nice narrative, calm comments and fantastic scenery and footage.
Wow, amazing and very informative video. Thanks for sharing it. Really enjoyed watching it 👍
So cool to relive it through your videos!
I'd give anything to be zooming around on a zodiac right now ha!
@@CourtneyVictoria Absolutly the same! Sitting back in my cubicle is not doing it for me!
Great video Courtney.
I was really jealous of your trip.
The scenery and wild looked fantastic.
You captured some really nice image's as usual.
Look forward to seeing your next video.
Cool video enjoyed it a lot. Looks like you had a great time
I really enjoy your videos and noticed the L-bracket you use. It was a challenge to locate one . But as soon as it comes back in stock I will have one. The idea of a universal one is incredible.
Fascinating video you created here. It must have been a delight to photograph the wildlife and icebergs during your travels. Take the time to enjoy your adventures in Antarctica, because this might be a once in a life experience.
Been there done that, but that was in the days of film! life before Digital. Great video thanks.
Nice! 🥶👍🥂
Fantastic video Courtney! I don't think I could get sick of watching penguins. I mean they are just too damn cute!! I look forward to watching your next video and seeing more photos! 🐧📸
Glad you made it. I actually thought about telling you to take some boat rides before going and get the motion thing out of the way😊. Be safe keep publishing.
Splendid video and really lovely images. 🙂 It was a pleasure meeting you there and I can’t wait for the next video from Antarctica.
Thank you Marvin! It was a pleasure meeting you too and it's amazing to see everyone starting to share their images from the trip.
Oh, you lucky girl. Would love to be able to go to the Antarctic to photograph the wildlife and landscape. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
I hope you get the chance to go one day!
Regardless of where, travel photography is a tough beat. But, look what you have done.... Just wonderful...
I missed your gorgeous dance on this Video! XD
Great Work!
Great work, you looked colder than a cold thing from coldville!
Lovely stuff as usual Courtney, and so glad to see that you didn't drop a camera in the drink this time. Hope you get a bit more used to the climate in Antarctica as you looked so cold bless you. Keep yourself wrapped up as warm as possible Courtney and stay safe...👍
I'm proud to say all camera gear made it back in one piece haha! The D850 did get quite wet on a few zodiac cruises from the sea spray but the weather sealing did its job.
Cool! Cool! Very cool! And where is the crazy dance against the backdrop of penguins?
That getting down to eye level is such an important part of animal portraiture, that I just recently got myself a right angle viewfinder doohickey. A flippy foldy screen would be just as useful, but ancient cameras like mine require ancient technology like mirrors. =D My knees will love me, at least. As will the washing machine.
Many thanks for this first Antarctica video. Love the wildlife pictures! Are you sure you haven't photographed wildlife before? But the pictures I love the most are the moody iceberg images. They almost seem like abstracts. Looking forward to your next video from the far south.
I have limited wildlife experience haha, so I was very pleased to capture the images I did on this trip! The icebergs were so interesting, so many different shapes and textures! Thanks Frank!
What an experience. One of my absolute favorite animal is the penguins Lucky you! Beautiful scenery.
They've definitely become my favourite animal since! They were wonderful to watch and photograph.
Hi there, you’re a very talented photographer, TH-camr and I also love your humour ❤.
Nice work, keep going like that!
I've been looking forward to your Antarctic trip videos and am not disappointed. Spectacular scenery and photographs. No little dance though ;-)
Haha I was definitely dancing down the corridors of the ship when the weather was rougher, it just wasn't caught on camera ha!
looks like you had a whale of a time, can't wait to see more videos, keep them coming 👍
Haven’t seen ur video for days, I forgot to subscribe last time.😂
Anyway, nice work!
