i really miss the bluetooth shortcut, used to use it twice a day :( on the plus side, IOS5.1 is much faster on my 4.

Today is December 5th, we are now very used to the routine, but today is slightly different, we have arrived at Enterprise island, but on this trip, we are not doing a landing, this one is a zodiac cruise, which excited me, and scared me at the same time, knowing id have to take all my pics...

yes, this trip was, but you can do the same trip on the boat for around the 8k mark i think, maybe less if you get in early, and even less if you go for a different boat, probably get it down to 5k! There were 50 of us from my company, and around 250 on the boat i think, then around 150 staff...

this is their toilet, these must be healthier than the last lot as they aren't shitting green stuff! Hi Ho Hi Ho, its off to work we go epic fail here, they are just getting in the water and i pan away! http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_knight/6832987743/ yet, got them just about...

next up was Cuverville Island, this place was home to adelie and gentoo penguins. first up were the adelie, and these guys were inquisitive, came really close to us this is a cool video of them coming close http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_knight/6832876625/ Oh HAI a bit...

so, where were we? after the excitement of the ice field enclosing on us, i was on a bit of a high. We started moving to a new location for another landing, and saw this leopard seal sitting on a floating bit of ice, this was my first seal spot, was really hoping i would get to see more...

yes i did, can't remember all the instances, but when i get near the end, on deception island with the disused whaling station, i used it there! I think theres a time and a place for it, if you take landscapes, its a bit pointless if theres nothing but sky or water or snow at the top or bottom...

not quite sure what you mean, but the bridge was a mirror, same equipment on both sides of the room, and there were about 6 or 7 people in there navigating the ship. It was strange, when we came across ice, the captain didn't seem to use any of the equipment, he would use his binoculars and do...

Why thank you! There are so many I want to put up, I just don't have the space or it would look like a gallery lol. I had decided on the penguin symmetry as mentioned above, and then the elephant seal that was published in the metro, but the one above is a nice shot, just wish I had the...

Yes that was per person, there was 50 of us. All the photos are on flickr and free to download, I had some issues with some of them and habing the original size, but they are good for the biggest of canvases, I'm getting 2 done I think, a penguin one and seal one. We paid £20 a day per person...

this particular trip was about £15k i think, thats what the company paid, but we did have 5* hotels in buenos aires etc, and we paid for unlimited drinks on the boat, and we drank a lot ;) sorry i don't, but this is the website http://en.ponant.com/Ships/Le-Boreal 16 knots apparently, no idea...

so the next morning i woke up, and we were one of the later groups, but we were anchored, so i took a look outside, this was brown bluff island we were landing on today, home of adelie penguins. So i looked at the shore, saw the chinese, then squinted a little and realised that all the black...

can't decide whether this is a good pic or just poor because he got in the way? thoughts? heres the dirty bugger by himself, this was not as dirty as they got though! he reminded me of happy feet! getting ready for takeoff!!!! this is known as a rookery in think, as in a...

I am an IT consultant mate, working for an IT reseller, this is the half yearly sales trip and as I had good year I was voted to join them, so all expenses paid, I am extremely lucking to work where I do :) Tbh, I never saw anyone being sick, I was never sick, people were either given these...

An expert, thanks for explaining, I was kind of right, just simplified it to myself ;)

Lol, give me a break, each post is taking an hour! I personally think the pictures get better as they go, with the best ones being at the end ;)

ok guys, glad some people are finding it interesting, its actually making me feel rather strange going over it all again, its going to be quite an emotional trip, i can't describe how amazing the experience is, i urge you, if you have even the slightest chance of going, you have to do it, it is...

FLOL, sorry, its taking me ages to do, and i thought if i waste hours on it and nobody cares and doesn't even read it, then its been a waste of time. So if people are genuinely interested in me continuing then i'll certainly make the effort!

guess as this is a photography thread, i should really talk about the camera too! I had a Canon 50D, which i upgraded for the trip, to a 7D. Absolutely love the AF points on the 7D, real step up! I took a few lenses with me, my favourite lens, the 70-200 f4L, and i had hired a 1.4x converter...

Well as you might or might not know, i went to Antarctica in December, did a 2 week cruise with a stop off in Buenos Aires on the way and way back. It was an amazing time and like living the frozen planet. I took thousands of photos, so its taken me ages to go through them, here are a few from...

my 32 gb has been full for months, and thats without any films on now, so i desperately need the upgrade. apps are getting bigger, then lots of work apps, goodreader is getting bigger and bigger with pdfs, dropbox etc and then magazines, each eve is about 650mb now, and i have several other...

finally got mine, 64gb wifi, although i had done it so many times and got the address slightly wrong lol, didn't expect it to go through, but it did. the postcode is correct so it should get there. As i'm working that day offsite i'm having it sent to my hans, my mum will then pick it up from...

i've tried 20 times and not got past the oops yet.

The lack of GUI...... I have to cover so many different products that I can't be learning loads of different languages, every product I cover has a different cli, it's ridiculous so I need to rely on GUIs to actually keep me sane, my heads full enough as it is. For someone who just looks after...
