Canon has released a firmware-update in October. Two major changes that are interesting for me: Maximum paper length for printing is now 1200mm. This means that smaller panoramas can now also be printed in larger format (432mm x 1200mm). However, the handling of roll paper is only an emergency solution here. Since the printer does not […]

Good sunset/sunrise prediction
I had published my thoughts around this topic regarding photography at sunrise/sunset here. Today I have the opportunity to visualize this using an example from today’s morning shot at Cuxhaven’s Kugelbake. The picture shows the object and the structures in the sky. Easy to see which clouds don’t get any color. The accompanied part of […]
Good sunset/sunrise prediction
Besides choosing the right location for this kind of photography, there are conditions which allow or disallow doing it. To a good extend it is plan-able, but at last it will also need some luck.

Time to do an interim conclusion … The costs and expenditures stated below are, of course, related […]

You can visit the shop by using this link or the Printshop link provided in […]

So, once I ordered the printer, I also purchased some paper Canon Pro Luster A4 and A3 Canon Premium Matte A4 Canon Pro Platinum A3 + By no […]
Printing images – Part 1
Some time ago I decided not only to look at my pictures on the TV, but to use selected pictures for prints on paper as an output medium. The primary objective is not to frame these pictures and hang them to the wall, but to have a portfolio in paper form. In addition, I lately always felt […]
Places to go – Gudendorfer See
Gudendorfer See Rumours that there should be Bee-eaters there in summertime. I need to check that spot out. Time to go there Bee-eaters should be most active in late afternoon hours. This sets the time to go there. I assume long lenses will be required. Location Shots
