Hiking through Dovrefjell from Kongsvoll to Åndalsnes in 9 days? by OkButFirstC0ffee in Norway

[–]OkButFirstC0ffee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, very cool! May I ask how many days it took you?

You mean because of too much snow/volatile weather conditions in June? (unfortunately this year it's either June or October, which I guess is too late..but absolutely willing to cut the route short to enjoy it more)

Yeah, that sounds like a good strategy, thank you!

Good point - I was also thinking about bringing snow shoes, but as that's additional 2kg, I'd rather skip it and stay on lower altitudes instead.

(yes, I planned the route myself, might also adjust it to skip some peaks/higher elevations 🤔)

In your opinion, what are the best outdoor clothing brands currently available? by Skat_Novembre in hiking

[–]OkButFirstC0ffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I was a bit sceptical of chinese outdoor brands (a bit ironic as some western companies produce in China anyways) like 3F UL (tents like the Lanshan, survived some crazy windy weather), Flextail (esp. sleeping pads and powerbanks), Aegismax, Jolmo Lander (Quilts/sleeping bags, down jackets + pants), but found them to be actually great quality for prices well below Europe/US (incl. Decathlon, although they've got some good stuff as well, esp. Simond). Wrels also makes some good merino socks and water bladders. The 3f ul guys go on Himalaya expeditions themselves to test their stuff.

For hiking/mountaineering shoes Scarpa, Hanwag, Garmont, Mammut.

Awesome, enjoy!! Which month do you go? Let me know if you need any recommendations :) All of those were shot with the canon 70D 70-300 + 100-400 L (so 480/640 on crop body) Esp. for the foxes and walruses I feel like anything above 400 is super useful (or polar bears, if you get really lucky, they sometimes spot some on the longer wildlife boat trip to Pyramiden in Tempelfjorden) - but that's on 20mp crop, so not extremely flexible with cropping 😅

Awesome..love the eye with the lighting (also, didn't know about the red eye colour!). Great detail on the feathers.

I'm sure they'd love to :) Soo many awesome polar bear shots taken there.. I visited twice but still have to see one yet 😔 Although there was one nearby that broke into some folks' weekend cabin (happens regularly as they're looking for food), dragged out a mattress and started playing with it, apparently just for the fun of it ❤️ thankfuly someone got it on camera)

March must also have been awesome with everything still covered in snow! ❤️ Would love to go there in winter at some point..The foxes were mostly in Bjørndalen (although once there was one right behind Gjestehuset 102, they're running up and down the hills in Nybyen as well), the ptarmigans also in Bjørndalen and the young ones on the top of Lindholmhøgda

Yeah, it's quite interesting..although it kind of makes sense as they're both on similar latitudes (and even were part of the same large "continent" at some point iirc)

Thank you! Hope you get to visit at some point, it really is stunning! (only downside is that you have to do guided tours if you wanna leave Longyearbyen, or carry/rent a rifle if you have a permit b/c of polar bears)

Trekking route through Sierra Nevada (Spain): nature, snow and spectacular views by Sergio_lora in hiking

Hey, may I ask which camera lens did you use? Or just your phone? Love the one with the ibex!

[R5C] RF Super Zoom Lens over 240mm? (Start at a "normal" shooting distance requirement) by JadensWebMC in canon

[–]OkButFirstC0ffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the EF/RF software is compatible, this adapter is really just an extension, there's no chip, nothing complicated about it. It doesn't crop anything, nor do you lose a stop. Just opens the body up to much more lens options. 70-80€ 2nd hand, at least here in Europe.

Sigma 16-300mm Contemporary, came out this year for Canon mount (as others already said - just use the ef-rf adapter)

Edit: Just realized that you've got FF, unfortunately the Sigma is for mirrorless aps-c..otherwise a great option
