[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was absent (on treknature) for almost 3 months but my Antarctic trip wasn’t so long. It was a Polish biological and geophysical scientific expedition. I was a part of the biological team. We started on the 15 of March. We spend 3 days in Buenos Aires. Than we took the plane to Ushuaia the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, and the world's southernmost city. After 2 days in Ushuaia we began our cruise on the Russian ship Polar Pioneer. After 3 stormy days on Drake Passage w arrive to our destination – King Georg Island (Admiraly Bay).

We spend almost 3 weeks in the Antarctic. Another part of our expedition was a cruise over the Atlantic Ocean. We have only 3 stops. First in Mar del Plata (Argentina) on the 14 IV second in Las Palmas (Canary Island, Spain) – 7 V and last in Copenhagen (Denmark) – 15 V. We arrive to Polish harbour Gdynia on 17 of May.


Some numbers:

From Ushuaia to Admiralty Bay: about 1000km

From Admiralty Bay do Gdynia 16 364km

Tropic of Capricorn: 20 IV 2007

Equator: 28 IV 2007

Tropic of Cancer: 5 V 2007


These photo was taken in Buenos Aires. I is a member of family Nymphalidae Junonia genoveva hilaris ( C. & R. Felder, 1867). I found only an information in spanish


These photo is dedicated to my friend and great treknature photographer Ram (ramthakur).

Hi Krzysztof.
What a nice butterfly you managed to picture. Classical pose and amazing reflection of all features of this beauty. I like soft and effective lighting, perfect details of the butterfly and surroundings, natural nice colour palette. My best regards and TFS.
Alexei.

Intersting Junonia...very similar to ours but also distinctly different. Great color and you got that contrast despite the fact the butterfly is in a patch of earth very similar to its own coloring. Good job! :)

That purple spot on the wing is great...what a wonderfully bold color!

Hej Krzys!
no pieknie! Widze, ze teraz sie sporo fajnych fotek pojawi, nie ma co :)
Bardzo ladny kadr! Dobra glebia, kolorystyka i detal :)
Pozdrawiam,

Hello Krzysztof,
Technically excellent and artistically beautiful capture of a species of Junonia new to me. But it is not only the quality of this shot that is good, your note is also an excellent hint of how marvellous your trip to Antarctica must have been and we look forward to some fine pictures taken during your trip.
Thanks for this.
Best wishes, Ivan

bonjour krzysztof
ce papillon est vraiment interressant,ses couleurs sont superbes ainsi que ses motifs.
le POV n'est pas le mieux possible mais ce n'est pas vous qui choisissez l'endroit ou il se pose.

Hello Krzysztof,

Hej
Nie chce mi się już pisać po angielsku, więc będzie po polsku.
Fajny kadr i super kolory. Moze odrobinę końce skrzydeł i czułki nieostre (ale nie można mieć wszystkiego).
Ogolnie super
Ania

Hello Krzysztof,
This is such a beautiful specie! Its colors are amazing and this is a nice capture of it with excellent details, POV, centered composition and very natural exposure. I would have been tempted to add some saturation here but I guess that the result would not have been as it is in "real"... :) This is lovely! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Krzystof,
What an wonderful butterfly!!
Actually, this species is one of my favorite butterflies.
You've captured it very nicly and details and colours are also excellent.
Well done and TFS,
Kevin
