    Hej! FAntastiskt fint fotat & filmat. Jag åker själv dit i maj -24. Vad säger du om fotoutrustning? Tripod? Monopod? Nödvändigt eller onödigt? och hur mkt Tele behöver man? 500 mm ? Mer?

    • @michaelthunfors2438
      @michaelthunfors2438 Рік тому

      Hej och Tack. Ledsen för sent svar då jag varit bortrest i 4 veckor nu. Det beror lite på om du skall vara på en båt som jag eller mer landbaserad. Om du är på båt så har du inte mycket nytta av ett stativ pga båtens vibrationer, såvida du inte filmar och vill ha mer mjuka rörelser. Jag har både haft och inte haft stativ, men i dagsläget använder jag det bara när jag filmar. Är du landbaserad så kan stativ vara en idé för landskapsbilder. Men i stort sett behöver du det inte. Monopod kan ibland vara kul att använda för att hålla kameran nedåt nära vattenytan för att få en låg vinkel. Om man skall fotografera wildlife är väl regeln att ju längre brännvidd desto bättre. Jag har ofta kört 500mm för att jag tycker den ger bättre kvalitet än zoom. Annars är det många som använder olika zoom, 100-400, 100-500, 150-600, 200-600, till och med 70-200 med converter. Vet inte om du blev klokare av detta.

    Hello Michael from Australia, we are talking with Wildphoto tours about their April 2024 and/or March 2025 tour. We were in Batsfjord and Kongsfjord in Varanger when you were on tour. Looks like you have gorgeous weather in the main? Did you go out on many excursions in the little rib? Also, which month would you recommend - March or April - as the better month for weather and photography on the tour? Loved you videos, thank you for posting and I would love to hear your views about the tour and the vessel overall. cheers from Australia.

    • @michaelthunfors2438
      @michaelthunfors2438 Рік тому

      Thank you. We were fortunate to have better weather than the tours that came later. March is the coldest month so be prepared for that. Given the cold and ice conditions we only went once in the zodiacs. However, we also took a tour in May, 17-25, and were greeted with nice weather and sightings, so if I were to choose again, I would probably opt for like lats week in April. I think all the operators with these small, 12 passenger ship, are all very professional and the ships are quite similar, so you can hardly go wrong with any of them. WildPhoto is more geared towards photographer, so if you are into that, they are great. Cheers

    • @michaelthunfors2438
      @michaelthunfors2438 Рік тому

      Hi, There is actually no possibility to drive with your car to the park entrance. In general it is two access routes. One from the south of the park and one from the west. We used the latter. We parked at Grövelsjöns turist station and the had some 10+km of hike to the park entrance,.
