Great photos!

As someone who just hung a 24 piece Antarctica show, I can appreciate how hard it is to print photos taken down there. Most days are low contrast with overcast skies, or contrasty as hell when the sun is out. I did my trip with a Bronica ETRSi with a winder and an AE prism. I can't imagine doing it with a 4x5.

wow Colin... would love to see some of your work?
Yes you are right, you really have to be super vigilant to make sure you take advantage of windows of good lighting. One advantage is that through the spring/summer the dawn's and dusk's all blend together so you kind of get like a dawn/dusk that goes for like 4 hours with nice low light as the sun makes that weird trajectory.

Definitely annoying with consistent low contrast.. found that a lot of the film is just ruined... also did you find that over/underexposing your film did really bizarre and dramatic colour shifts?

I now have a smaller and more portable 4x5 and will endeavour to smash so much film next time I go down. I put through mostly 120, still going through all the images now... can see the advantage with digital in the enironent but will be persistent
