Welcome aboard Hurtigruten’s MS Polarlys for a whirlwind tour of the Norwegian coast accompanied by the hauntingly beautiful “Morning Mood”, composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875.
The time-lapse sequences were shot in late August 2012 using an Olympus OM-D E-M5 married to a Zeiss Distagon T* 2/35 ZF.2 lens (via a Novoflex adapter).
I would like to warmly thank both the crew and fellow passengers on board the MS Polarlys for their kind understanding, interest and support during my ‘filming’ activities on deck. This classic Hurtigruten voyage is the ideal means through which to access the pristine beauty of the wilderness beyond the Arctic Circle.
For all the hardware freaks, here’s a comprehensive list of the equipment used:
Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5 + HLD-6 Battery Grip
Storage: SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB Class 10 SDXC
Intervalometer: Phottix Aion Wireless Digital Timer and Remote
Lens Adapter: Novoflex MFT/NIK Micro 4/3 to Nikon F Adapter
Lens: Zeiss Distagon T* 2/35 ZF.2
Filter: Schneider 77mm True-Match Vari-ND and B+W 77mm 110 ND 3.0
Filter Adapter Rings: B+W 62EI-58ESA and 77EI-62EA (58mm to 77mm step-up)
Tripod: Manfrotto MT057C3 + MH055M0-Q2 Magnesium Ball Head
Clamp: Manfrotto Super Clamp 035
Technique: Manual camera settings. The desired exposure was obtained by rotating the outer ring of the variable ND filter with the aim to underexpose by around 1/3 of a stop. With ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture fixed, the ND filter is the only adjustment available!

True, the process to build plantation shutters is best done in the factory
by professionals who have years of experience. There are different kinds of elements with which these coverings
are made. For a truly modern shutter consider getting them mechanized so that the shutters can be adjusted allowing the perfect amount of
light in the house or even opening the shutters on a whim.
Pretty! This has been a really wonderful post.
Many thanks for supplying this information.
