Norway-centric cruise

Post-pandemic, this was my first international trip. While previous trips have involved stops in Dublin and Amsterdam, this trip focused on ports in Norway that highlight its scenic beauty, ending in metropolitan Oslo and Amsterdam. My primary interest was the first stop in the Shetland Islands' Lerwick where puffins can be found. During the 14-day trip, only 2 days were overcast or rainy.

For this trip, my photo kit included 2 OM-1 bodies, Olympus 40-150/f2.8, Olympus 150-400/F4.5, Olympus 12-100/F4 and Panasonic 9-18/F2.8-F4.
