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.
Another sunset at Kugelbake
The last one from the alternate position did not turn out as good as I was hoping. The skies weren’t that much populated with clouds as hoped for. Therefore, another try at this place. This time it turned out much better. I did several long exposures using the D800 and the Zeiss 21mm with a […]
Sunrise at Kugelbake
I was hoping for some nice colours with clouds in the morning. However, this did not happen. Sunrise has already moved further forward in south direction, so there won’t be much time left to shoot from this position in 2017.
Sunflowers
Rare finding here in Cuxhaven – a field with sunflowers. Looks like not intentionally have been seeded for this and still a bit sparse but somewhat nice. Shortly I’ve taken the pictures, it started to rain. Shot with the D800 and the Sigma 24-105mm using a tripod.
