Diamond’s In The Sky

Alaska, 2018

This was a hugely exciting morning on the North Slope
of Alaska. I think we deserved it because the previous 72
hours had been very tough both weather wise and content
wise. Regardless, we fancied our chances from about 5am
as the storm passed. We had done our homework and had
the very best local guide. It’s moments like this and images
like this that make all the compromises so worthwhile. We
are very privileged to work so closely with such a
magnificent animal as the adult polar bear.

The hard thing, as many know, about working from a small
boat in choppy seas, is that the camera moves in step with
the boat. This is tough enough on a small lens, but with
a big lens it’s very challenging indeed. Throw in subzero
temperatures and a wind chill and we have a true test of
one’s ability to work in tough conditions. I am glad no one
can see some of the pictures I took in that sequence - they
were of the sky!
