Nice sunrise at Cuxhaven’s Alte Liebe, so, time to use the D850 for some shots. Still have to learn on using this camera as it is quite different from my D800. As Lightroom has not yet been updated, I used the Adobe DNG converter for the pictures taken. Mainly using PC-E 24mm on the camera […]

Cuxhaven – Storm front Sebastian II
Cuxhaven – Storm front Sebastian
Yesterday’s storm front Sebastian joined high tide at around 1800h CEST. Time enough to take some pictures between the rain showers. We went to Alte Liebe and harbour area and at last to the Kugelbake monument. Nice preparation for the upcoming holidays in Brittany. I used the D2x with the Sigma 24-105mm Art for the […]
Cuxhaven – Sunrise at Kugelbake
Another nice morning at the Cuxhaven monument. This time prediction for skyfire was at 80% and it came close to what I was looking for. Not enough high clouds though, but pretty nice. Above picture was taken long before sunrise at 6:40am, right after I arrived at the location at 5:15am. I used the D800 […]
Altenbruch – Dicke Berta
Taken one shot at “Dicke Berta” lighthouse in Altenbruch. The location isn’t easy to manage because you’re either too close to the lighthouse or you do have a several flaws like cables in the picture. Used the0 D800 with the Voigtländer 58/f1.4 for the shot. Conversion of the above picture to b/w.
Glameyer Stack
Some sunset pictures from Glameyer-Stack which is a place, near Otterndorf, at the river Elbe. From there my hometown is nicely visible at the horizon. The sunset was quite nice having good colours. However, due to the ships moving on the river, it was not really possible to do any good time exposure.
European Starling
Haven’t been out for some bird shooting for a while. I took the opportunity on Sunday morning to get out to 2 places to see what is around. In Dorum near to the Obereversand lighthouse I found lots of European Starlings. The juvenile starlings are close to the shoreline preparing for their first migration in […]
Cuxhaven – Heatherfields
Another evening in Cuxhaven’s heatherfields. I hate midges. So many of them flying around there… Although the sunset itself showed fantastic coloured sky, the blooming of the heather is nearly gone in the area, so not such a good location anymore. Below a panorama shot of 5 pictures taken in portrait mode using the D800 […]
Cuxhaven – Early morning at Alte Liebe
Tried some morning shots at the Alte Liebe area in Cuxhaven. Unfortunately a small band of clouds prevented the skyfire.
Cuxhaven – Heatherfields
Two attempts to grab some pictures of the prospering heather in the refuge near the shoreline. The morning didn’t went that well as the expected light was not showing up. The evening hours did much better with the light.
