“鯨彩一現(xiàn)”在南極

2024年歲末，應(yīng)某國際旅行機(jī)構(gòu)的誠摯邀請(qǐng)，我榮幸地以攝影嘉賓及“南極大使”的身份，第七次“踏上”南極這片遙遠(yuǎn)而神秘的大陸。此次行程，我肩負(fù)雙重使命：一方面，需要在郵輪上為參加南極探索之旅的團(tuán)友們帶來精心準(zhǔn)備的攝影講座，分享攝影技巧與心得；另一方面，拍攝極地風(fēng)景，尤其是用鏡頭捕捉南極鯨的壯麗瞬間，這也是我此行的重要任務(wù)與熱切期待。

南極，被譽(yù)為“地球上最后一片凈土”，以獨(dú)特的自然風(fēng)光和豐富的生物資源吸引著全世界的目光。而南極鯨，作為這片海域的霸主，更是以其龐大的身軀、優(yōu)雅的姿態(tài)和神秘的生活習(xí)性，成為無數(shù)攝影師夢(mèng)寐以求的拍攝對(duì)象。

為了做好這次拍攝工作，我做了充分的準(zhǔn)備，不僅認(rèn)真總結(jié)、分析前幾次南極之行的得與失，而且根據(jù)隨團(tuán)探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)中海洋動(dòng)物專家的提示，深入研究、了解南極各鯨類的遷徙路線和生活習(xí)性，以便在最佳時(shí)機(jī)捕捉到它們最動(dòng)人的瞬間。同時(shí)，我精心挑選了專業(yè)的攝影器材，配備了從廣角到長焦的全焦段鏡頭，確保能夠在極端的氣候條件下，拍攝出清晰、生動(dòng)、富有感染力的照片。

終于，在一個(gè)晴朗的午后，我們的郵輪緩緩駛?cè)肽蠘O鯨頻繁出沒的海域。根據(jù)船長的廣播提示，我迅速穿好御寒的沖鋒衣，快步來到甲板上，手持相機(jī)，緊盯海面，生怕錯(cuò)過任何一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。就在這時(shí)，一頭巨大的座頭鯨突然從海中躍起。令人驚嘆的是，這頭體長超過10米、體重近30噸的巨獸竟在空中劃出一道優(yōu)美的弧線，隨后又重重地落回海中，濺起一片水花。剎那間，我迅速按下快門，定格這驚心動(dòng)魄的生命躍動(dòng)。

隨后的日子里，在天堂灣的寧靜水域，在企業(yè)島的神秘海灣，以及南極半島的廣袤海洋里，我們有幸多次目睹了南極鯨的身影：座頭鯨以其獨(dú)特的躍動(dòng)姿態(tài)，成為海洋中一道耀眼的風(fēng)景線；虎鯨黑白相間的配色，讓它們?cè)谒酗@得格外醒目；藍(lán)鯨游弋自如，展現(xiàn)著生命的活力與奇跡……它們每一次破水而出的瞬間，都讓我們深感震撼，我們也仿佛觸摸到了大自然最慷慨的饋贈(zèng)。

我們此行運(yùn)氣極佳，見證了無數(shù)令人難忘的瞬間，雖然在拍攝上感到有些許遺憾，但每一次按下快門，都是對(duì)南極鯨這一神奇生靈的致敬，也是對(duì)生命奧秘的探索。

這些經(jīng)歷也讓我深刻意識(shí)到，地球不僅僅是人類的家園，更是無數(shù)奇妙生命的共同舞臺(tái)。每一次與它們的相遇，不僅是一次視覺的盛宴，更是對(duì)心靈的一次洗禮。我會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)珍惜這轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的“鯨彩一現(xiàn)”，也會(huì)更加堅(jiān)定地珍愛這個(gè)共同的家園，并將對(duì)自然的敬畏與熱愛傳遞給更多人。

“An Amazing Shot of Whales” in the Antarctic

In late 2024， at the invitation of an international travel agency， I had the honor of “setting foot” on the distant and mysterious continent for the seventh time as a guest photographer and an “Antarctic Ambassador”.

The Antarctic， hailed as “the last pure land on the earth”， attracts world attention with its unique natural scenery and rich biological resources. As the overlord of this sea area， Antarctic whales have become the subjects for numerous photographers.

To successfully complete the shooting， I made adequate prepa- rations， not only earnestly summarized and analyzed the gains and losses of previous Antarctic trips， but also further researched and learned about the migratory routes and living habits of Antarctic cetaceans according to tips from marine zoologists in this expedition so as to capture their most touching moments at the perfect time. Meanwhile， I selected professional photographic equipment， including various lens from wide angle to telephoto lens so as to take clear， vivid and impressive photos even in extreme weather conditions.

In the tranquil waters of the Paradise Bay， the mysterious bay of the Enterprise Island， and the vast sea around the Antarctic Peninsula， we were lucky enough to glimpse Antarctic whales more than once. Every time when whales leaped out of the water， we were deeply astonished， as if we felt the most generous gift from nature.

Besides， these experiences made me realize that the earth is not only a home for mankind， but also a common stage for countless wonderful lives. I will cherish this common home with more determined efforts， and convey the awe and love of nature to more people.
