Bluethroat
Lucky day! I went to the salt marsh, mainly to look for some seafowl, but what I got was a Bluethroat 🙂 All pictures without tripod using the D500 and the Sigma 150-600.
Attracted by the feeder
Haven’t done a lot of bird shooting in my backyard recently. Here’s an Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) that was attracted by the feeder in the shadbush which is starting to bloom.
Maritime Details
I got an invitation for a short exhibition here in my hometown. The exhibition will be in September and will have the motto “Maritime Details”. As I do not have any pictures covering the theme, I have to pick up this challenge. Although it was also offered to show something else, it won’t be fair […]
At the “Alte Liebe”
Early morning at the Cuxhaven harbour. Daylight saving time but early enough up to grab the first morning light. Using the D850 with the Zeiss 21f/2.8 with attached polarizing filter and ND-Grad 64 to smooth the water.
Early Afternoon
Short walk around the Kugelbake monument. As announced, it was quite windy, but, due to the low tide, there was little swell.
3 days without luck… finally
Three evenings without luck in a row. I missed the good light situation every day with about 30 minutes. Today in the early morning hours finally a great sunrise. For about 45 minutes a fantastic light and colour situation in the sky.
Kugelbake at night
I was looking (again) for some Northern Lights, but wasn’t lucky with that. While waiting, I took some pictures of the Kugelbake monument with the stars above. Definitely a shot I will do another time with some better conditions. The shot was taken with the D850 and the Zeiss 18/f3.5.
Early Morning
Early morning hours in three locations. On my way to a breakfast appointment, I started 2h earlier and went to three locations. First stop was at the Midlum windmill. As the sky didn’t have any clouds, the location didn’t work well today. However, one panorama image has survived the bin. Next stop was at another […]
