From Levanto we drove via Carrara and Lucca to Artimino, our next 7 day stay in Tuscany. From there we did day trips to the planned areas. First day of our stay was utilized by the cooking course in which we learned how to make Pasta and Cantucci. Finally, after the whole trip, it was […]

Cinque Terre
We went from home by car down to Como in Italy for a one night stay because travel distance was too much to do it in one go. So, our travel truly started on the next day when we drove to Levanto. The road led us via Milano and Genova down to our first destination. […]
Sonnenuntergang bei Obereversand
Ich habe mehrere Versuche unternommen, ein weiteres Mal bei Sonnenuntergang am Obereversand zu fotografieren, aber entweder ließ es die Zeit nicht zu oder das Wetter schlug um, so dass die Szenerie nicht so aussah, wie ich es erwartet hatte. Gestern hat es dann ganz gut geklappt. Ich habe dort 2h verbracht und mehrere Szenen aufgenommen. […]
Westerheversand
Wir sind gestern dorthin gefahren, um einige Aufnahmen nach meiner Planung zu machen. Allerdings hat der zweite Teil der Planung nicht geklappt, da der zweite und dritte geplante Standort nicht machbar sind, da es keinen Weg dorthin gibt (der auf Google Maps nicht so gut angezeigt wird) und außerdem ist es ein geschlossenes Ruhegebiet für […]

Voigtländer Apo-Lanthar 90mm f/3,5 SL II

Cuxhaven – Common terns
Some more time spent to shoot some common terns. Besides those I also did some bunblebee shots in the garden which came out quite nicely.
Cuxhaven – Common terns
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 […]
The problem owning Sigma lenses
I own several Sigma lenses and the company has grown recently by introducing their new concept of Contemporary, Art and Sport lens classification. While Contemporary is their consumer (budget) area, the Art and Sport series represent high class lens builds having Art labeled lenses in the lower focal length area and Sport classifying the tele […]
Nach dem Sturm
Einige Bilder, die nach starkem Regen und Gewitter in der Hafengegend aufgenommen wurden. Die Sonne kam am späten Abend heraus, während die Wolken nach Nordosten zogen.
