Night Watch at the Polar Pit
Midnight polar scene under a star-filled sky and subtle aurora, the big ship’s floodlights illuminate a cavernous hole in the ice emitting cold vapor. The captain on deck holding a radio, breath crystallizing, signal flag fluttering in katabatic winds. Long exposure feel with light streaks from deck lamps, deep blues and greens, strong contrast, volumetric fog, reflective ice surfaces, cinematic wide shot, photorealistic and mysterious tone.
