––– Autumn is perfect. Watch the coastline shift colours from one season to another.
Icy blue sky.
COLOURS OF THE COAST `And then there is autumn, when you can watch the coastline shift colours from one season to another over the course of a single day. This is also a great time for photography. The clear air enhances the red and yellow hues that fi ll the mountainsides, hilltops and woods. From a photographic perspective, the scenery is perfect, framed by an icy blue sky and the sprinklings of early snow on the highest peaks. The darkness comes gradually and the sun sets earlier and earlier. If you are lucky, the North- ern Lights will appear and perform their act of visual magic,´ Stian muses. `The easiest way to optimise the sub-
jects of your photo is to think carefully about
lighting in the shot. If you want a photo from your ship to have the depth of colours you see in holiday brochures, take the picture on the sunny side of the ship. Alternatively, if you want to catch the glistening of light on the ocean, take the photo when the sun is low enough to bounce off the waves.´

so capture your images in the RAW format. This provides you the greatest fl exibility in post-production and allows you to easily fi x problems that would otherwise be harder, if not impossible, to correct if shooting in JPEG. Bring along extra memory cards to accom- modate the increased image fi le size,´ Stian suggests.
