Back in Sweden. 11 degrees, rain, wind … in short: stepping out from the train is cold.
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
be aware that the default 20GB storage that LR Mobile can use isn’t that much. I should have temporary gotten the 1TB plan for the trip.
Back home from my trip to Norway, the last time I’ve spent so much time on trains was when I spent a summer inter-railing as a teenager. The last trip, Bergen -> Umeå took 30h.
