During the month of January I went on a little cruise holiday to the north of Norway. It turned out to one of the most amazing trips I have ever done. Starting out in Bergen we travelled north, over the tip of Norway and down to Kirkenes, situated not far from the Russian border. As you can imagine, it's quite cold in January when you're in the Arctic Circle. That would be an understatment really. When on the ship travelling at an average speed of 15 knots the wind is really really cold, and trying to photograph scenes when you can't feel your fingers is no fun at all. What really upset me a bit was the amount of darkness one has, or put it another way, the lack of daylight you have during the day. The longest period we had was around 4 hours of daylight in one day.
However, after I got over my initial shock, we had some tremendous light when travelling back down towards Bergen. I would like to share some photographs of that trip with you in the following posts.
This one taken with the Sony Nex-7 and the CV Nokton 35 f1.2 II. An excellent combination which doesn't produce purple colour shifts. Wider lenses are a mess on the Nex-7 so my Nex-5N has been designated my wide angle camera from now on.

I think this turned out really well for a P&S. It was really a snapshot taken on the spur of the moment. Again, it's one camera that really has me stumped sometimes. Personally I think there's a minor bug in the firmware somewhere because some images are so blown out or the blacks are so blocked and for no reason at all. Doesn't happen every time but when it does this you can really delete the image. No recovery possible.

Another image from this little camera. I really have a love hate relationship with it. Sometimes it gets the image totally wrong in processing and at other times, like this one, it's simply amazing. I normally use aperture mode with all my cameras 99% of the time. I was using the tilt and swivel screen here with the camera stabalized on a table in front of me. These screens do come in useful at times like these but I must admit I don't use it as often as I should.

Samsung NX10

Another image using the NX10 with the NX 55-200 lens. I must admit I haven't used this camera much, not because it's a bad camera, but because there are better cameras out there. I mean better in the sense it's much more fun using them than the NX10. I believe Samsung are now in the process of developing a new camera with a better sensor.

I don't think I've loaded many images from this camera in the past, maybe one or two but it can't be much more than that. It is not a bad camera but it isn't a camera that makes you go wow either. Focusing isn't really that fast, but not slow either. Seems accurate though and the images are not bad at all. This image was takem with the NX 55-200 lens. Not really expensive, a little large for my liking, but it does produce some ok images.

Samsung NX10 and the 30 f2 Pancake

Samsung NX10 and the 30 f2 Pancake

The last image from this camera and lens for now. I thought it would be a change from the m4/3 scene and see how other cameras do. I like the bokeh in this one and the 30 f2 hit the mark with the focusing. The camera helped some too. Like I said, not the fastest focusing camera, but it nails the focusing nearly 100% of the time.

Another APS-C sensor camera is the Samsung NX10. Not the fastest focusing or the fastest to download the images to the card, but I do like the images it takes with the 30 f2 pancake lens. The rendition is really nice as can be seen on the horses coat.

How good can the E-PL1 be?

How good can the E-PL1 be?

Just to show how good the E-PL1 and the Panasonic 14-140 lens can be, I only had a couple of seconds to take this image of a Hummingbird Moth. For those of you have seen them, you know how quick they can be. They only stop for a couple of seconds at each bloom. Some say that focusing on the E-PL1 is slow, but after I took this picture I'm wondering what slow is. It's plenty fast for me.
Don't forget, this lens is pretty heavy compared to other m4/3 lenses and is made for video. There's a lot of glass in there to move when focusing.

Olympus E-PL1 and the 14-42 kit lens revisited

This is another of my favourites. That light in the upper left is a lighthouse. It must have taken me at least 50 shots to get this one. I was either too early or too late as the light was rotating. Still, I got it in the end.
