This morning I got up unusually early for me, at 0630 (!) to capture a few shots of the Lunar Eclipse.

Pizza. Antarctic Style.

Last night we had a Pizza Night!

Gerard our Chef, along with James the Doc, were running Papa G’s Pizzeria and serving all sorts of tasty pizza. Following is an excerpt from the Menu about the pizza restaurant:

About Papa G’s

Having studied beneath the famed pizza maker Giuseppe d’Omino in Huddersfield (“The Napoli of Yorkshire”) Papa G has now brought his exacting standards to his own pizza restaurant where the authentic artisan style of traditional Italian pizza is recreated with his own unique twist.

At Papa G’s we pride ourselves on using only the finest and freshest products available locally to ensure you’ll get a taste sensation you can’t forget, and make sure we’re the only local pizzeria you’ll want to eat in!”

External Battery for Nikon D200

Hi,

Seeing as last Photo Friday Sunday was only a quick one, I’ve decided to follow it up with another photography related post – this time dedicated to shooting in cold weather, especially long exposures, time lapses or simply what to do if you want to take your camera out in the cold for a prolonged period of time, and not worry about running out of battery.

Pierwsza Zimowa Ekspedycja

Tradycją BAS jest organizowanie zimowych wycieczek / ekspedycji dla członków personelu zimowego. Każda osoba ma możliwość uczestnictwa w dwóch takich ekspedycjach — pierwszej na początku sezonu zimowego, zaraz po odpłynięciu statku po raz ostatni, i trwającej pięć dni oraz drugiej, pod koniec sezonu zimowego, która typowo trwa siedem dni. 

Pierwsza z tych ekspedycji przypadła na ostatni tydzień lutego i tak się akurat złożyło, że to ja wziąłem w niej udział, razem z naszym Przewodnikiem Górskim, Al’em (tutaj to stanowisko określa się mianem Asystent Ogólny, albo Asystent Terenowy — strasznie dziwna i nudna nazwa stanowiska, które jednocześnie musi być najbardziej ekscytującym zajęciem ze wszystkich!) oraz z moim kolegą z Zespołu Naukowego, Octavian’em.
