Silver Snow and dark sky Half Moon Island, Antarctica

135 · f/11 · 1/500th · ISO 400

Another in the series of images from my recent trip to Antarctica. This is an afternoon shot with the sun falling. This gave me the opportunity to emulate the film look of a polarizer with a red filter in Black & White. The three peaks represent, for me strong compositional elements with the bright snow contributing to the contrast. The cold temperatures increases the "haze free" stark atmosphere of the scene.

Thanks... OBTW, I don't understand Fstoppers process. This camera has been out there for more than a year. Did it surface somewhere other than my gallery?

I think I found it deep in one of the popular tags; Snow, Mountains, Landscape. Can't remember which for sure.
BTW I understand what you're saying about "hazy free" after all isn't one of earth's driest deserts there. But I also believe it's due to remoteness in that what a lot of what modern day "hazy" is due to "Ground Level Ozone" especially when temps are 80˚F and higher. Hazy is such an ambiguous term, referring to an array of atmospheric conditions from fog to pollution.
