This summer I am (and will be) wandering around Scandinavia, to shoot some footage for a series of documentaries that will come out next year.
Sadly our schedule is quite dense, and I don't have any free time to do the tourist, but luckily I managed to bring my nex with the little nikkor mounted on, and I pass time between one take and the other taking snapshots of the amazing sceneries we're shooting in.
I am really having fun shooting this combo, even more now that the viewfinder for my nex arrived.


1 - Oslo

Having spent most of my life across the 45th parallel, I can't help being completely amazed by late night sunsets.

I'm really enjoying the places, and I love cold and sunny days: I'd just want I could have some spare time to go around, but after all I'm working.
Now we're off to Denmark, I will update this post eventually. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I love travelogue series, and these are beautiful results with the old Nikkor. Thnks.

You're telling me I should give my old Nikkor 24 a trip somewhere as nice as Scandinavia! Smile

Wow, awesome! Very Happy

Nice pictures, why didn`t you tell me you where here?!? Very Happy
The lens is fantastic, I have it too! The Canon Serenar 35mm f/2.8 is another hot shot IMO!

Thanks!
Luckily I was on a small hill facing the plain, tree climbing is definitely not my cup of tea Wink

I was so busy (i was paid per day, so basically the production worked to squeeze the most out of all the technicians) that I didn't even had time to look for photography related shops! (even if, seeing average prices in Norway, I doubt I would have got any real bargains).
I'd love to try some of the old canon ltm's, (especially the 3.5/25), but I still haven't found any at a suitable (=very low) price for me.

You have done such a wonderful job of showing us how lovely Scandinavia can be. Many have no idea that there is so much history as well as natural beauty. Love the rune stone

It's been 30 years since I last visited Scandinavia on business, and alas, my Leica rarely got a workout like the one you gave your NEX and that great lens.

Thanks for sharing - looking forward to more!
