When you go on a photography trip to an exotic a destination as Antarctica is, you can be guaranteed to return with months if not years of post-processing in your bag 
It’s been about 1.5 years that I set foot on the Antarctic mainland, and I still find some gems in my Lightroom Antarctica catalog.
This one was taken on the first day of entering the magic dreamworld that is the Antarctic peninsula.
Don’t forget, my Antarctica ebook is about to be released in the coming weeks. So be sure to check back frequently.

Beautiful professional photography, very “photoshopped” though, which creates remarkable images, which loses the true content of the original photograph, to one of a “computer generated” copy of the original.
Just personally, I do nothing more to my photos other than adding a little light, and sharpness when needed, and while they could never compare in looks to a “photoshopped” photograph, at least I know that what I see in my photos, is the original image that was captured by the camera when I took the photo.
Still, computer generated photographs seem to be very popular now, yours are beautiful examples of that.
Thanks for sharing, Cheers, Allan
Thanks for the comment Alan.
Other than using software to stitch the image (13 images) I only used a graduate Neutral Density Filter to darken down the gray fog, at the time of capture.
Although I take advantage of photoshop as much as I would have taken advantage of all the dark room techniques back in the days, I keep it’s influence to a minimum, and this photo is a perfect example of getting it right in camera rather than afterwards in the digital darkroom.
Thanks for your reply Kajo, I must admit, that your photos are not as “altered” as others I`ve seen, even one on your site, not a photo of yours though, which looks more like a badly painted photo, than the original it was before being “photoshopped”.
Take a look at my photos if you like, they are nothing in looks compared to your photos, but they are the originals, as taken in the camera by me.
I`ve been taking photos for many years, so have accumulated on my site more than 145 albums of 11,100 photos, of all subjects, completely free to view, for anyone who cares to click onto my name, “Allan”, in my comment, which will take you directly to my website.
Cheers, and keep up the good work, Kajo.

If I can weigh into this debate – photoshop should be seen as a tool for photographers to digitally enhance their files to create high quality images that are able to be printed in high resolution.
There is no subsitute, of course, for getting things right in camera. However, how is photoshop any different to Ansel Adams spending hours in a darkroom dodging and burning with chemicals?
In my mind, photoshop is a tool that should be embraced by photographers. While I agree some images can appear to be over-processed, careful editing can transform a good image into a great image.
Sweet shot here by the way Kajo!!!
Thank you Tim, I fully agree with you.
