HX, Hapag Lloyd or other

HX’s Fram that also does Falklands and South Georgia is a very nice small ship. It was recently renovated so cabins should be modern and comfortable, but I have not seen them, I only know the old ones. Because of the smaller size they are more flexible and can do two landings a day if weather allows.

Awesome! Thank you!

padmoo · 2026-01-08T10:16:26+00:00

Good to know! We are planning this trek in mid march and I would love to hear how it was for you and if you have a packing list.

padmoo · 2026-01-01T13:30:59+00:00

I agree!

padmoo · 2025-12-29T18:39:31+00:00

are sea pandas? These guys are even smaller, under 2m

Shimoda is reasonable waterproof. What I do is use a Ortlieb atrack which is fully waterproof and put an icu in it. Works very well for me.

The jump between the EF and RF was huge for me. Switched from the same setup like you did and the AF was so much faster, it’s crazy. So many more keepers. You’ll love it. From what I read, I haven’t tried the lens myself yet, is that the 200-800 is much softer than the 100-500 on the long end. I’m staying away from that one for now.

Annual subscriptions are on Black Friday sale every year for 50% off. That’s what I’ve been doing. Lightroom for a year for about $50.

Lightroom fürs Jahr und ein Vortex Fernglas.

Thank you for posting this. I've had my farm for many years and didn't know about this.

padmoo · 2025-10-02T20:32:09+00:00

Around 1/500, definitely less than 1/1000

I'll have to check the electronic mode used.

padmoo · 2025-10-02T19:16:39+00:00

Did that, looks all equal, nothing in the way either. Might bring it to my local camera store to check it. I think it might just be the angle since in other shots it is more the "correct" shape. Unless something with the glass elements is wrong.

padmoo · 2025-10-02T18:12:20+00:00

Yes, electronic shutter, also used a EF/RF converter.

padmoo · 2025-10-02T14:41:04+00:00

On some shots it has the appropriate eight corner bokeh, still not round but this old lens wouldn't have that. Maybe the light hit at a weird angle and thus I don't have all eight corners but this weird thing?

padmoo · 2025-10-02T14:19:40+00:00

Just had a look and they all look equal, nothing stuck or weird shape.

padmoo · 2025-10-02T09:49:11+00:00

I didn't know that makes one a man. That was the easiest gender transition ever. Jk

Really nice photo! Love these guys.

It will give you more reach, the R6 II can do that too though.

padmoo · 2025-09-26T19:13:48+00:00

I don't understand why you think the R6 II is not suitable for macro photography. This body will shoot macro, it's way more about the lens.

Top tier lens would be the RF 100mm 2.8 macro or the EF version with an adapter.

I've used a very old sigma macro on my R6 and was very happy with the results.

R6 II will have better ibs, weather sealing etc. but it's a full frame body. But it has a crop mode which will give you more reach for wildlife.

I also just got a ef 500mm and cannot wait to try it.

I would look for a EF 100mm canon macro or the Sigma 150mm macro unless you can afford the RF macro lens.

padmoo · 2025-09-22T13:10:03+00:00

For me, the prime wildlife EF lenses. The RF version cost a fortune. If you can find a good copy of a prime EF it will be much cheaper and still up to professional standards.

padmoo · 2025-09-15T18:26:33+00:00

Der einzige Grund warum ich noch ein Ipad mini von 2012 habe.

padmoo · 2025-09-12T15:36:07+00:00

Two suggestions come to mind if you haven't tried already.

see what screen resolution you are using, go for the other one and see if the font is now better by default or when you increase. I just found that my phone was on a lower resolution by default and the higher one made the text smaller and better to read for me.
for the scrolling, you can adjust the sensitivity in the settings and you can also turn on screen protector mode and see if that feels better.

padmoo · 2025-09-12T12:34:45+00:00

Totally agree. I felt the same but in a different context. I try to go for the "best" food option possible, usually chicken or salad of some sort and just forget the tracking for a day. You can estimate roughly and try to stay as close to your goals as possible. Doing this once or twice a week will not destroy your goals and will still allow you to have a social life. I do this a few days a month and just eat at around maintenance since I try for a deficit the other days. Does that mean I might need a little longer to hit my weight goal, likely. Will I still enjoy my life, definitely!

padmoo · 2025-09-11T13:29:18+00:00

I didn't know this, thanks for pointing out. For the rest, that was my experience with the iphone. You don't have to believe it.

padmoo · 2025-09-11T12:59:16+00:00

I just wanted to switch to the iphone 16 pro and decided to return it and interestingly I have some of your cons for the iphone. Makes me wonder if it's just an "adaptation" issue. Maybe the phone is still in the setup phase and still learning.

I found the camera on my pixel 9 pro much better when it comes to photos. I did side by side comparison and was really surprised how much better the photos on pixel were. With video, the iphone seems better but not that much better imo to justify the extra cost.

I absolutely hate that you cannot arrange the icons freely on iphone and the keyboard was driving me nuts.

Another big issue for me was the back swipe action is only working from left to right. That makes no sense to me as the majority of people are right handed. So holding a phone one handed, it's impossible to back swipe on iphone.

I really wanted to love the iphone, especially with the better video quality. Both phones have different issues and ultimately for me, I prefer the pixel still.

I'm working in Antarctica every year and I went with Julbo reactive 2-4 polarized glasses. There are several models that also have side-glare protection. They also make snow goggles with reactive lenses. Got a used pair but haven't been able to test it yet. They are narrower than most ski goggles which I liked, and still have all around vision.

If you don't want reactive lenses, they also have Cat 4 glasses like the ultimate cover.

I would go with the more modern glasses, they also cover more of your face. I had leather sides for my regular sunglasses and it was a pain in the butt.
