Nikon D800e Video of Sailing 6,000 miles to Antarctica.

Hello,
I thought I would share this video that I put together of a sailing trip last year to Antarctica. Much of the video footage is from a Nikon D800e and various Nikon lenses (although there is some GoPro video footage as well).

The trip started in South America, we then sailed to the South Shetland Islands. Then, onto Antarctica where we spent about a week. We then sailed to South Georgia Island and spent another week, followed by 10 days of sailing to Tristan da Cunha (the most remote inhabited island in the world), and lastly we ended up in Cape Town, South Africa. The whole trip was about 60 days long.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the video. This is my first time doing a long film (19 minutes) so it's a little bit rough, but hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Very professional, Some incredible set-up shots of the ship. A lot of work was put into this film, not to mention PP. Well done Andy,I know what it's like, trying to film on a boat, and that's in acceptable temperatures, clearly a trip of a lifetime.

Thank you Paul! Glad you enjoyed the video. I would have loved doing a lot of my filming differently, but you have to make sacrifices since you're with so many other people. I would have been happy just spending all day at one or two places to get the shots I wanted...let alone seeing so much in so short of time.

Your more than welcome Andy, just on a technical question were you using standard pro Nikon lenses or were you using PL lenses or a combination of both with GoPro fitted to head gear so hands could be left free in view of sea conditions.
