I was out to the Kugelbake area to shoot some common terns. Unfortunately the wind direction was from south-east so it was rarely seen from front when the terns flew up from the water after they picked a fish as they mostly get up against the wind. First day I used the D500 with my […]

After the thunderstorm
Some pictures taken after heavy rain and thunderstorm in the harbor area. The sun came out late in the evening while the clouds where moving towards north-east.
Cuxhaven
Sunny but also slightly foggy day. Sigma had sent back the adjusted 18-35, I wanted to give it another try with the D7200. Around the Steubenhöft and during a ferry ride some good chances to test the lens. Besides the prime lenses from Sigma this is probably the sharpest lens ever seen on DX.
Hamburg
Some pictures from last Saturday… Mainly using the Zeiss 25/2.8 for shooting; however, it was already late and close to noon so not the best light conditions. In Lightroom I used the Kodak Velvia 100 develop preset for some pictures.

Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 3
Morning session The last day of our stay in Feldberg. Another try with the White-tailed Eagle but none was seen during the boat ride. A Red Kite stopped by grabbing the eel which was thrown to attract the eagles. As no other bird was seen and it was also quite cold we went back to enjoy […]
Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 2
White-tailed eagle In the morning we go out again to see whether the white-tailed eagle named Aalfred would come to grab some lure. Lucky we were seeing him in the trees where he normally sits and waits. Once Fred is shouting and throws the eel out, he really takes off and grabs the fish. Unfortunately […]
Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 1
The tour We booked three days with Ranger Tours to do another session – like last year – for in-flight shooting of white-tailed eagles attracted with eels to fly close by the boat and allow amazing shots of the eagles grabbing the fish. Besides eagle shooting, the booked session also entailed evening boat rides to have […]
