Things I learned on my trip to Norway, 5: If you need a camera with interchangeable lenses, consider if you really do, then consider something like m43, APS-C, instead of full-frame. The cameras might not differ much in size, but the lenses so. Once again, be nimble and comfortable.

Things I learned on my trip to Norway, 4: You’re going to carry around the gear, weight and bulk is important. Better feeling comfortable and missing photos, that carrying around all the gear all the time. My recommendation would be something like a Ricoh GR III/IIIx … both if you have the money.

Things I learned on my trip to Norway, 3: If you’re going out in the nature, you’ll probably want a zoom, a 24-70 should cover most of it, a 24-120 is even better. Longer lenses only if you doing something special.

Things I learned on my trip to Norway, 2: If you’re like me you probably only need a 24mm or 28mm + 40mm or 50mm fixed lenses … if you’re going to spend your time in cities, and similar places. Unless, your only reason for the trip is to take photos. Better to be nimble and miss photos.

Things I learned on my trip to Norway, 1: If you

  • intend to take a lot of photos
  • bring along an iPad for the editing
  • use LR Classic

New experience, photographed a wedding yesterday, came home around 10 today, imported the photos on my Mac, did a quick 50 images, packed my backpack, took the train south and is now send the couple some extra photos from my iPad.

Adobe might have fixed syncing for me this time.

Today, I completely failed with the portrait lighting and couldn’t get it to work. Driving home, I realized what the problem probably is. Need to test this weekend. Fun stuff, I should really do this more often.

I’m once again playing portrait photographer (would actually get the chance to do this more often)

A lot of online stuff about new generative remove in Lightroom, I’m not excited about that new feature … but the possibility of having a working sync, that’s exciting. Note: just the possibility (I don’t know yet if it’s an improvement).
