Ponting often requird members of the expedition to pose in his pictures to give a sense of scale or to show their daily workings; this was known as to 'go Ponting'. Wright was not a huge fan of such posing; even early on in the expedition his patience for modelling in the Antarctic conditions was wearing thin, as he noted in his diary on Sunday, 11 December, 1910, 'The photographer Ponting is an abominable nuisance, we have to be posing the whole time for his cinematograph -- even when watering (icing) ship or shooting seals. There are two of the men, Levick and Meares, [who] are always being photographed. I have not yet discovered whether they like it or are merely more obliging than the rest of us.' (C. Bull and P.F. Wright, Silas, p.56)
