Birds in the backyard
Starting the new year with some old friends at the feeder place… All shots taken with Nikon D3 using Tamron 150-600 mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Wimberley WH200.
Cuxhaven: Lighthouse “Kleiner Preusse”
Cuxhaven
Clear but cold and windy morning at Altenbruch’s lighthouse “Dicke Bertha”. River Elbe facing Hamburg direction in early morning hours. After it got too cold, I went to the Steubenhöft which was the pier for the ships heading to America in the early 20th century.
Birds in the backyard
Another very nice and sunny day. A bit cold but was doable for 2h standing outside and watch the birds at the feeder place. All pictures using the D800 and the Tamron 150-600 at f6.3 on Feisol CT-3442 with Arch Swiss D4 Head.

Nearly last chance today for grabbing some pictures while having at least some sunshine. Using the Tamron 150-600 with the Nikon D5100.

Finally some nice weather today. The first time to try out the Tamron 150-600 in good conditions. Using the D2x this time. All mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Arca Swiss D4. Pretty good sharpness with open aperture on this camera.
Planning Iceland Trip
We will go to Iceland in 2015. Planned route so far: Route is from Kevlavik to Snæfellsnes Latrabjarg Heydalur Sauðárkrókur Dalvik (for Whale watching) Mývatn Djúpivogur Hornafirði Ásólfsskáli Reykjavik and then back to Keflavik.
Bremerhaven
Some later afternoon/early evening shots from Bremerhaven. Unfortunately I left the Stabilizer on when I used the Sigma 24-105 on the tripod. Therefore around 20 shots were unusable. Above shot was taken with the Sigma 24-105. A really good lens, very flexible, sharp and good build quality.
