This photograph was taken through a door (opened for just a few seconds) on the way from South Georgia Island to the Antarctic peninsula on a small ship during a cyclone in the South Atlantic Ocean. I discovered that there is a good side to a rough sea with enormous swells: When you spend most of your time trying to stay on your feet, you forget to be seasick. The camera was a Nikon D7000 with a Nikkor 16-85 mm VR lens at 34 mm. The exposure was f/8 and 1/800 sec. (We made it to the peninsula, but a nearby ship had to turn back when the windows of its navigation bridge were blown out by a high wave.)
