04/12/12 Sony Nex CamerasTaken about 1 minute after the image in my last post. Converted in SFX2 and a high key profile applied. I like it. It was actually very dark at the time. I'm very impressed with this lens and the Nex-7 isn't bad either. 986
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/30 sec ISO: 800 • Norway • Sony • Nex-7 • Voigtlaender • 15 f4.5 • manual focus
04/11/12 Sony Nex CamerasTaken with the Nex-7 and the CV 15 f4.5. I used this lens the most on this camera from the legacy primes that I took with me. I just set it to f4.5 or f5.6 and set the focus to just over 2 meters. That was it. I then held the camera to my eye and shot away, it was too cold to focus. Worked well most of the time since the scenery was rather a long way away. This was actually shot at the North Cape. 944
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/40 sec ISO: 800 • Nex-5N • Sony • Voigtlaender • 15 f4.5 • Norway • manual focus
04/10/12 Sony Nex CamerasI have many images similar to this one simply because there were many views like it. We were very lucky with the weather on the second half of the voyage, simply stunning sunsets. many find this type image as a cliche, and maybe they are, but I like them. No reason not to take a photograph. 1043
NEX-5N Focal Length: 31 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/100 sec ISO: 100 04/09/12 Sony Nex CamerasTaken with the lowly 18-55 kit lens and the Nex-5N, this is my wifes favourite image of the entire voyage. I must say, I'm quite partial to it myself. I find it hard to image being a fisherman in these climates. Two minutes in that water and you would be dead and the fishermen here have to work with the water all day ever day. Must get used to the cold after a time or if you're born there, you know nothing else I suppose. 1017
NEX-5N Focal Length: 20 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/60 sec ISO: 200 04/08/12 Sony Nex CamerasI believe I've mentioned this before, but the light we experienced on the voyage was simply fantastic. This pink / purple colour in this image was typical of early morning (early morning means mid-morning normally) light and the scene is typical of the views seen all day every day. When I had the 18-55 kit lens on I used AF exclusively. It did come in handy because of the difficulty in holding the camera still long enough to get accurate manual focus. My eyes were streaming most of the time from the wind which made manual focus extremely difficult. 1239
NEX-5N Focal Length: 22 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/60 sec ISO: 250 04/07/12 Sony Nex CamerasGreat sunset again. It was difficult to descern between sunrise and sunset. Really, it seemed to be all in one. The sun popped up over the horizon for a short time and, just as quickly, it was gone again. Dark at three in the afternoon.
Most of the images taken on the voyage were of course costal shots. Stops at each port varied between 15 minutes and 4 hours. Not a lot of time to do something when leaving the ship to see something alse. Having said that the weather was bitter at this time of year, very icy and the wind was very cold. 1136
NEX-5N Focal Length: 55 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/200 sec ISO: 100 04/06/12 Sony Nex CamerasAgain taken with the kit lens. We experienced some wonderful light on the way down again to Bergen. The only hindrence being the lack of it for most of the day. 1179
NEX-5N Focal Length: 55 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/100 sec ISO: 200 04/05/12 Sony Nex CamerasAnother one of my favourites from the Norway trip and taken with the 18 - 55 kit lens. I hear so much moaning about this lens but I find very good. This was the only zoom I took with me on the journey, the rest being primes ranging from 15 to 135. Strangely enough I didn't touch the 135 at all. I didn't think I could hold it in the cold and strong wind. Remember, the Nex cameras don't have IBIS. 993
NEX-5N Focal Length: 55 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/100 sec ISO: 125 04/04/12 Sony Nex CamerasI was out on deck trying to find something to photograph as two crew members came out and went directly to the lifeboat. Now, this is when I started to get worried as the water temperature isn't that warm in the Arctic Circle. Luckily for me, it was just being serviced, but it's at times like this that you make sure you know where the life jackets are etc.
Thew crew members on these ships are really hardy people. The guests were running around looking like Michelin men, and the crew in just a shirt and tie or just a t-shirt. 969
NEX-5N Focal Length: 55 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/100 sec ISO: 3200 04/03/12 Sony Nex CamerasThis is one of my favourite images from the whole trip. I've left the blue in the image attempting to give the impression of cold it really was out on deck. Many a time I had to go back inside too warm my fingers and the camera. As a side note, I didn't once have a problem with either the Nex-7 or the Nex-5N during the whole trip, and that was in temperatures reaching -25C. I don't think the cameras will experience those temperatures again. 1020
NEX-7 Focal Length: unknown Aperture: f/1.0 Exposure Time: 1/8 sec ISO: 200 • Sony • Nex-7 • Voigtlaender • 15 f4.5
