Yesterday evening I watched a wonderful documentation on the Arte tv channel (German tv) - two French photographers in the Antarctis at Adelie Land for 2 months - happened in 2016.
Wonderful images from above and under water - Nature Photographers Vincent Munier and Laurent Ballesta.
Munier seems / seemed to shoot Nikon DSLRs but also the Pentax 645Z.
The movie "Antarktis - Die Reise der Pinguine" (I'd translate it as "Antarctica - The Journey of The Penguins") will be available on the internet until 25th of Augugst 2021. Here's the
link. Enjoy!
Even if you don't understand the German language - the images speak for themselves - highly recommended!
I guess there’s also are at least French and English language version available - somewhere somehow.
The
Pentax 645Z you'll clearly recognise in the scenery between Minute 41:20 and 42:32. At 42:32 the top Pentax cover is shown in full glory.
When I saw it, I immediately thought I'd look for the movie on the internet to post it here. Found it!
Munier seems to have made a book of the images made - if interested, you find it on Munier‘s
website. (hope it is allowed to post?!)
I think there are some very good nature photographers using the 645Z in addition to DSLRs. For them and us I hope we'll see a 645Z successor using the newest tech soon!
