This is why many people default must go holiday during the winter every year. And when in sg default must stay inside aircon places most of the time. 😂 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden Gem, Norway, spent my time in Oslo, Bergen and Tromso.....if you are like me into hiking, dog sledging and aurora borealis chasing, then Tromso is highly recommended! Did you drive to Tromso? In winter? I did Bergen to Oslo but in summer... and the roads over the Hardangervida Plateau still had snow piled high on each side of the road with the lakes and rivers still iced up... pretty and a bit scary at the same time... cos not prepared... was half expecting snowfall but it didn't occur... when we reached Geilo which was halfway and high up (it's a ski resort), it was surprisingly clear without snow except in the upper reaches of the ski fields...

My first trip in April was stunning in terms of landscapes, snow, etc. honestly every city is nice… porto is beautiful esp the river. Budapest is nice. Germany is nice to drive but I don’t feel the European romance vibe much in their cities. I agree... most European cities with history are nice... I feel many of the Eastern European cities have that old European romantic feel... places like Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, etc... I kind of didn't quite like Berlin but thought Dresden was nice and really loved Bremen... Never been to Portugal & Spain... cos very warm in summer... heh heh... I go for cold weather... maybe must try in Dec for these 2 countries... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The April trip was absolutely stunning so I think it all depends on when you are going. It snowed enough to be beautiful but not dangerous to drive. Aiyah... April is out for me lar...

Mirrorless bro... not frameless... I suggest you try the A6700 - the latest and the greatest so far... $2000+...

APS-C really very good already... file size manageable plus with good lenses can get very nice details... Wind30's photos are partly skill (framing, composition, timing, location selection, eye for a good shot) and time of the day... and after many trips and shooting like crazy... I have realized that often the place itself simply lends itself to good shots... when I travel overseas, I don't have to think so hard to frame, compose and shoot to get good shots... it's not like that in Singapore though... our environment is too built-up and too many distractions and too crowded in the background always...

The biggest advantage of 35mm full frame is photo crop. Just make sure the subject is properly focused. After can crop. There is no pixelation. I took a lot of photo using iphone rather than camera nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
