The singularly largest difference between the kind of pictures I took in the September trip against this December one was that a lot of pictures would see backdrops that are in snow. I severely underestimated the amount of exposure compensation
After every major trip, I’d do a post commenting and making notes on how the various photographic and electronic gadgets that I brought along fared during the trip. A lot of stuff came along for this 15 day trip to
Continued from the last post! I’m a comparatively recent convert to the Sony FE system, with the system change made last year in April when I picked up the Sony A73 and the first half-dozen native lenses for the system.

The Maldives trip was my first extensive sojourn into taking underwater stills of marine life, so it was a real eye-opener. I’ve commented on my experiences using the different equipment that I carted along for the trip, so here’s a
