The Ship’s young German photographer, Simon Bober, is a busy man. I was getting a strange blue tint on my photos so I asked him what the problem was likely to be. Simon immediately identified that the white balance setting on my camera was wrong for the conditions. Simon also recovered lost video for an american guest, restored photos from a corrupted memory card for a UK visitor, advised another of the Fearless Four (Aileen) on a frozen zoom (really!) and resolved multiple other photography issues for others among the technically challenged.
Photographs are an important part of this expedition and Simon is just the man in an emergency. He has been busier than the ship’s doctor!
