Thank you very much Peter! That's really nice to hear (read ). Yes, the lens is growing on me and I'm slowly learning what works or not, so I think it is a keeper. For example, judging from how the first one turned out it should be wonderful for flowers in the forest type of shots.
More a hello to Helena than one of my best photos. We were in Trondheim a bit last summer. We took my mother-in-law to Norway to meet her long lost cousin and visit the old family farm, near Trondheim. This particular evening the light was so gorgeous in the city, and I was in and out of this Thai restaurant to photograph. I would almost rather have just been out photographing, but I was also starving.
A7rii with the Olympus Zuiko OM 50 1.4 MC (late). I often wished I had brought the Loxia 50 to Norway instead of this Zuiko, but actually sometimes this lens, my anti-Loxia, was very nice. Not sure of the aperture, maybe 2.

How nice that you got to visit Trondheim! If you have any more photos I'd love to see them.

5741 photos of Norway, but way fewer nice ones than I would like. Still several keepers. We mistakenly booked an overambitious itinerary, From Oslo -> Sognefjord -> Trondheim -> Lofoten -> Trondheim -> Oslo. Since we had booked all of these places too far apart, we had to drive like mad to get to our hotels every night, and quite often, as you must know, there were no shoulders at all to pull over on the roads in Norway. Stopping in towns was nice, and hanging out in the Lofoten, but for a lot of the trip I felt like I was in a hurry and couldn't really work as slowly and tune in as I would have liked. We want to go back. If we don't have the Trumpocalypse this summer we will either go back to Norway or back to Iceland.
I should say, too, Helena, that I look at your photos and think, "Oh, it must be nice to just live there, and walk, and take advantage of nice light and beautiful place with less hurry." But then, I live in a nice place to, and I get that kind of time here, so I shouldn't be jealous. But Norway is beautiful.
Took a train ride in the Texas Hill Country with my family a few weeks ago. My 3 year old had a great time exploring the railcars. I didn't have much time to shoot but managed to get this as the train was curving around the track.

Just kidding.
