Planning Cinque Terre
The first place we’re going to visit is around the Cinque Terre after staying one night in Como we can take a slow ride to Levanto.

Birds in the backyard 2016
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.

The 30f1.4 proves absolutely fantastic sharpness on DX but would need company for wide angles. This one entry is purely focussing on the […]

Trying the D7200 and Sigma 30f1.4 Art for city- and landscape shots during a short walk in the harbor area.
