Assignation at the feeder place. Besides several Eurasian Tree Sparrows and Great Tits, a Greenfinch and a Hedge Sparrow showed up during a 1h session. Unfortunately the Long-tailed Tits did not pass by. Have only seen them once here and the shots I took are not really worth to be kept.

Ovation of the Seas
The Ovation of the Seas had to go from Bremerhaven to Hamburg and therefore had to pass Cuxhaven. However it came late the day and best light was already gone. Wanted to have one or two shots with the Kugelbake (Cuxhaven Monument) but due to foggy conditions the photos aren’t very clear. Majority of the […]
Bremerhaven – Ovation of the Seas
The new constructed Ovation of the Seas is docked in Bremerhaven and will get over to Hamburg this weekend. Visiting the Atlantic Hotel platform to have a nice look from above in sunny weather but later also at the Columbus Cruise Terminal. Again it proved that the Sigma Art Series do have outstanding performance. Sharpness is incredible […]
Around the harbor

Trying the D7200 and Sigma 30f1.4 Art for city- and landscape shots during a short walk in the harbor area.
Birds in the backyard 2016
Haven’t done bird shooting in my backyard for quite some time. Today I took the chance to do some shots at the feeder place.
Cuxhaven – Other local seafowl
Second try with the Nikkor 500f4, this time using the D7200. Was lucky to get some close Oystercatchers as they are normally quite shy. The lens does not perform as great as with the D4, but that’s not a surprise. Some quality trade-off is because of the smaller pixel-pitch of the D7200 but some is […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
Desperately waiting to get a chance to try out the recently bought AF-S 500f4 lens. The weather today morning was nice and 2 hours left before high tide, so I went to Kugelbake and looking for some Sandpipers there. Fortunately not too many people were around and I was lucky to get some good shots. […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
The owls are gone so having at least lot of seafowl left here. Was shortly looking at Kugelbake area and found 2 sandpiper species.
Short-eared Owls – Thirteenth round
Another short late afternoon stay – before it started to rain. Mainly focussing on bird-in-flight pictures.
