Planned for a long, long time and then the weather or better to say the clouds put a spanner in the works on two consecutive days… The plan was to photograph the Altenbruch Lighthouse – Dicke Bertha – and the full moon or nearly full moon with a telephoto lens. At a long distance and […]

Photography in Cuxland
Ordered on Tuesday, delivered today. The contracted printing company was not only fast but also delivered excellent quality. Only when you look closely you will notice the screening from the digital print. The colors are much better than in the test version. As of now, the booklet can be purchased or ordered at Ringfoto Schattke.
Photography in Cuxland
So, now it is done for the time being. The second version of the brochure is finished and in test print. I didn’t really like the first version, not only in terms of layout, but also – and above all – in terms of print quality. I now hope for the latter with substantial improvement. […]
Hamburg 44
44 hours in Hamburg. From July 6 to July 8, four of us were on the road in Hamburg. On the first day around late afternoon we went first to the Dockland. There the sun was still too high. So here is a black and white conversion of a panorama image. Taken with the GFx […]

Annoying advertising
Seems to be a new trend since a few months. Low use, maximum suck-potential. Instead of plastering advertising pillars as in the past, people now take the cheap parking space at the side of the road to put some kind of advertising on a trailer. Sucks! 5 minutes by bike, two annoyances at once.
At the Alte Liebe

But nowadays everyone paves his good sides with any advertising or signs dense. In a new building like this one, an electronic display would have been integrated into the building, it can’t […]
Noctilucent clouds (2)
Around 22:30 o’clock I drove to the Alte Liebe. OSWIN had actually predicted good conditions, but nothing there. I did not even get out of the car and drove directly back. Around 23:30 o’clock once again looked out of the window and jumped directly into the car. At the Alte Liebe then a very wide […]
Wadden Sea in Döse
Once again a sunset with a shout. Had also briefly the hope that NLCs would show up, but that was quickly destroyed on the spot. Nevertheless a few nice pictures from the Wadden Sea came out. With the Mamiya 150mm tele lens I took these two pictures. …and another (very) short timelapse…
Noctilucent Clouds
Last night it was (almost) perfect. The OSWIN radar showed it all day long and from 22:30 the NLCs were visible also in the northwest. From the “Alte Liebe” I took some pictures until about midnight. Then the low clouds moved in again and obscured the NLCs. In my previous attempts the NLCs were […]
