After two nights at our first camp, we left that camp to go somewhere else. But before moving on to the new camp, we went to the main activity of the day that we had all been looking forward to, Polar dog sledding in the Nordic forests.

Review: TTArtisan Dot Sight

7 Comments

Introduction

TTARTISAN Dot Sight - open

In this review I am going to look at something else than a lens for a change, namely a dot sight. So what is it used for?

According to TTArtisan, they developed this dot sight mainly because of the photographer’s shooting needs. Bird photographers and astrophotographers have a very narrow angle of view when using a telephoto lens, which makes it difficult to quickly target the shooting area. The dot sight is close to the normal angle of view of the human eye, which helps photographers quickly target the shooting area.

Well,  If you photograph birds in flight or any fast-moving subjects, a dot sight for your camera could be an aid to you. let’s have a look!

All the bird pictures in this review were taken using TTArtisan Dot Sight for targeting the birds.

Review: TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Macro 2X

Introduction

TTARTISAN 100mm f/2.8 Macro 2X on Nikon Z7ii

TTArtisan has made a new version of its T/S 100mm Macro 2X, which I reviewed almost one year ago. It received only positive feedback for its optical qualities except for its flare resistance, with some reservations about handling and its limited tilt/shift effect. Now, as they had promised, they have come with a variant without any tilt/shift functionality, i.e., a short telephoto with 2X macro capability and the possibility to be used as a portrait lens with nice bokeh, if it is as good as the first version was. Let’s have a look!

Travel Diary: An Arctic Trip (Day 1)

Living in Sweden and being interested in photography will take you to some more picturesque and exotic places in the country. One of these places is Lappland in the Arctic region of the furthest north part of the country. I have traveled there several times in different seasons and enjoyed each time.

A few years ago, some people I knew suggested that I would take them on a journey and show them some of nice places I knew and be like a guide for them. To check the general interest I posted an open invitation on my Instagram account encouraging anyone interested to join me. Despite my low expectations, the response was overwhelming, with inquiries pouring in from various countries.
