We spent 11 days aboard the MS Origo, which carried 12 passengers, six crew, and a captain, plus four nature guides. We would photograph either from the various decks on the ship or go out in zodiacs to get closer to the wildlife.
The zodiac is not quite as close as it looks, this image was taken from the ship using a 600mm lens with a 1.4x extender, giving me 840mm, thus compacting the perspective.
