It’s been a while since I have been at the Kugelbake. Weather was good, no clouds announced and moonrise right behind the Kugelbake monument and in addition low tide so I could setup my gear in the wadden sea. I arrived at around 11pm and the scenery was still in the light of the sunset […]

Common linnet @ Obereversand
Close to the lighthouse Obereversand there are always Common Linnets and later the year starlings in the wild brier hedge. and as a short interlude, a panoramic version of the lighthouse (without tripod at 200mm).
Cappel-Neufeld timelapse
Last test on this before vacation. The problem with manual mode during evening/morning hours is that the light drops resp. kicks in so drastically. After some further reading on the topic, the best way to avoid such is to switch to Aperture-priority mode during capture. However, this will introduce flickering which can be very annoying. […]
Cuxhaven – Sahlenburg
Some nice skies over the wadden sea during the evening hours. The band of clouds at the horizon hindered a more colorful sunset. I used the D850 with my Zeiss 18f/3.5 for some shots. Of course I let the timelapse camera run as well.
Sahlenburg – Starry skies
My intention was to go for some Aurora Borealis shots. Both evenings before there were good visible ones here and KPI values looked promising in the afternoon. However, no polar lights were seen/photographed. But, instead, I did my first shots of stars in the sky. Above picture was taken at 2254h, so quite late but […]
Cuxhaven – Old fishing harbor
Plain skies, but anyway I wanted to make some shots at the old fishing harbor in Cuxhaven (and – of course – again another timelapse test). The pictures were taken with the D850 using the Zeiss 21f/2.8 and the timelapse was done with the D2x using the Sigma 10-20f/3.5. Again, it is not […]
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe and more
Wanted to do a timelapse at the Alte Liebe monument in Cuxhaven. However, the sun was too bright later, so the timelapse is only 6 seconds long; but, anyway… The timelapse and the picture above were done using the D2x on the AllView with the Sigma 10-20f/3.5. After the session I went for some shots […]
Obereversand
Promising sunset and fast moving clouds, time for another timelapse test. Again, I went to Obereversand to test. Then, after I already put my AllView back into the car, the sky started to explode in colors. I rushed back to the beach and did some nice shots of the lighthouse in the evening sky colors. […]
Cuxhaven – Kugelbake
Another try for a timelapse at Kugelbake in Cuxhaven. It was really stormy weather but nice cloud moving. Setting up the AllView head on the wall was already a slight challenge. I did not use the Berlebach’s full size but left it at half. Again, I used the D2x but this time with the Sigma […]
Cuxhaven – Kugelbake
Second attempt to do a timelapse using the Skywatcher Allview using the D800 and the Sigma 24-105f/4. Sunrise isn’t yet good because the manual setup of the camera does it too dark in the beginning and when the sun shows up it is getting too bright. I need to dig a bit further on that. […]
