Went on a family cruise a little over a month ago. Taking photos turned out to be a little harder this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a bit of trouble when it got really cold. I used my SEL1670Z with my a6000 the whole time. Sometimes the camera wouldn’t recognize the settings it was on (f-stop, shutter speed, etc<\/em>). Sometimes it would artificially limit how far I could zoom. But overall I think I got some ok shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also difficult processing those shots. As I remember them, the scenes were usually foggy and low contrast. In my post processing, they end up looking like they’ve lost detail as I tried to bump up the contrast and interest. Some of them end up looking more like paintings, too, after trying to get rid of most of the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pictures include some from the start and end of the trip. More coming soon\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
