Thanks for the information. When traveling, I often bring a Sony 6300 and a couple of lines. For an upcoming trip to Norway, I'm going with a Sony RX100VI and the Sony RX100M3 as a backup. Candidly, I've been trying to compare the VI with the 6300 and to these tired old eyes, I don't see much difference. 7 hours ago, scubacruiserx2 said: Thank you . I use a Canon 6D and SL 1 .

I had looked into the RX 100 VI but I have a hard time holding a small camera steady when fully zoomed . We get the part about the old eyes . Where are you going in Norway ?

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 3, 2019 Author #109 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) They did not tell us . It came on 3 times a day at an appointed time and the young people seemed love running and playing in the cold water . Kinda like the Polar Bear plunge on the ship at 10 PM Edited July 3, 2019 by scubacruiserx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 3, 2019 Author #110 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) The Saint Petersburg Metro is one of the deepest on earth at about 90 meters It's a long ride down The green dome is the Avtovo station on the oldest line - the Red line Glory to work ! Avtovo World peace mosiac Kirovsky Zavod Narvskaya uses Social Realism art And it has a cool victory arch on the surface Best seat on the Metro This is what the newest purple line looks like Edited July 3, 2019 by scubacruiserx2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re doing the Niewu Statendam Voyage of the Midnight Sun with another couple.

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 3, 2019 Author #115 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) If we want to see some great art we would go to the Hermitage ( closed on Monday ) . But if we want to see some great Russian art we go to the Russian Museum where there will be few tourists . Mosaic of Catherine the Great Peter the great Tapestry and bust The Last day of Pompeii painting and detail The same painter , Karl Bryullov , painted the ceiling of Saint Isaac's Cathedral Edited July 3, 2019 by scubacruiserx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ski ww Posted July 4, 2019 #121 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I should clarify we are doing the 14 Day Voyage of the Midnight Sun on the NS, 5 Jul 2020 .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 4, 2019 Author #123 Share Posted July 4, 2019 We did notice a section in the museum that seemed to contrast the rich vs the poor Followed by the Social Realism Revolution solution Parachutes over Saint Petersburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 4, 2019 Author #124 Share Posted July 4, 2019 After the museum we met some friends from Russia for dinner . Khinkali Gift exchange We had last met them for dinner at their house on May 9 , 2015 which is Victory Day for them ( VE Day ) a day like the 4th of July for us . It also means fireworks on the Neva River . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
