Through The Porthole - Day 6 (2nd stop)

Today's second stop is Svolvær ("S-vol-var" where the vol syllable sounds like the lady saying "Volvo - sponsors Sky Atlantic"). This shot was taken shortly after we docked at 4pm.

We're only here for 2h15m. The main thing to see is a war museum, but as we've got the Narvik to look forward to later in the trip, we elected to stay on board and grab a quick shower before dinner.

Although it's been raining since we left Reine, the skies are clearing and there's a fair chance we'll see the Lights tonight. As a test, I took this porthole shot using "Night" mode. Long exposure with ten separate shots which are then stacked by the camera's processor to eliminate noise and shake. Despite picking up a reflection from one of the cabin's indicator lights, I think it turned out pretty well.
