We had some terrible weather heading north. This image is typical of the low cloud cover we had with some very heavy rainfall. I converted this to B&W in SFX2 to better show the clouds that were just rolling over us. Nex-7 with the CV 15 f4.5.

Having to post process the purple colour out of these photographs was a lot of work. Very time consuming. It was well worth it though. This is a squall that we were sailing parallel to. I'm glad I wasn't in it. It was freezing and I'm sure the rain was also.

Again with the Nex-7 and CV 15 f4.5. We noticed that quite a few houses were built on rocky islands out in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't for the life of me think why except that it may be a summer house. I don't think anyone could live there in the winter.

Taken with the Nex-7 fitted with the Voigtlaender Heliar 15 f4.5 lens. I know it doesn't look like it but I could hardly hold the camera still as the wind was gusting heavily. I took a number of shots here to make certain that one came out ok. This is the only half decent one I managed out of 9 shots. It was also bitterly cold up here. This lens is fine but, I won't use it on the Nex-7 any more because of bad colour shift. By that I mean that not only were the corners purple (fixable with a program caller Cornerfix), but both sides were purple. It took me quite some time to fix it in post processing.

This photograph was taken in Trodheim. This cathedral is quite large as you can see from the person walking into the image. I'm qquite surprised at the quality of the 18-55 kit lens. From what I've read on the Internet the quality varies considerably. I'm quite happy with mine.

This one was taken with the Nokton 35 f1.2 II in one of the largest sea water aquariums in the world. Obviously this specimen wasn't alive but it just shows what's possible with the Nokton.

Again with the new Nokton 35 f1.2 II lens, it produces lovely photographs. I just love the rendition it gives. This fast lens (with a couple of othersI took along) helped a lot because of the low light levels. Here, it was quite light which wasn't typical at all during the trip.

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.
