Story:
I decided to travel back to Torres del Paine, to do a Grey glacier outing. For which I had contracted a tour to walk over the glacier.
The lodge had Internet, and after retrieving my mails I discovered that the glacier trek was cancelled.
As things did not go as expected, had to re-plan the different activities. The ship passed on its return close to the glacier. All the tourists had large digital cameras with stabilizers and took all the best places. I was using my Rollei 6006 with slow film (50 ASA). In this situation in which I would use a tripod, but being on a ship the tripod was useless. Prayed the ship would not rock much and that the 125 camera speed would be enough to compensate the movement.
Found an opening with no tourist and made many images. After the films was developed, the images came better than expected.
