Moonrise from about 0:20 o’clock and clear sky, so, last night again with slightly changed camera settings I tried to shoot the Milky Way. It’s a bit better, but still miles away from how I think it should be. Well then… The picture is composed of 50 lights and 20 darks. The images were taken […]

Cloudburst over the Elbe river
The predicted strong thunderstorm did not happen, but a heavy rain shower poured over the city and the harbour area.
NLCs over the Northern Sea
Actually, I wanted to photograph the Milky Way. At full moon and ground fog a very bad idea. Nevertheless it was a successful night, because I was able to photograph the probably last NLCs for this year. Okay, Milky Way wasn’t, but the location’s probably pretty good for that. Next week the moon will not […]

Timelapse – Cuxhaven Nature Reserve
The 4K video is composed of 750 frames (30 frames/sec) with the Nikon D2x and the Sigma 30mm. It was a little too windy, which brings a lot of motion into the trees and bushes. Here is the setup for the video.

This morning I went back to Cappel-Neufeld. During the evening shots this week I had seen several Common Redshanks near the jetty. I wanted to have a closer look at that.
The colours of summer
Very close to my home, wild meadow flowers bloom in different colors on the roadside, so I tried it with my macro lens.
It could have been worse…
Actually a good cloud forecast was given for the evening (52% high clouds), in the course of the afternoon this shifted towards 82%, so rather bad conditions for some nice sunset pictures. I decided to give it a go anyway. Instead of the nature reserve close to Cuxhaven I went to Cappel-Neufeld beach. The Zeiss […]
Old Sahlenburg shooting range
Another area worth a closer look. This morning it wasn’t quite as productive, but that’s also because the trees have a lot of foliage and the birds can’t be seen very well. The area also offers a lot of other photographic points.
Early morning in the nature reserve
In the evening light I didn’t like the landscape so much, so I tried to take the same picture the following days hoping for good weather in the early morning. Unfortunately, in the last few days, the weather put a spoke in my wheel. This morning it worked (almost) for a short time. Not quite as […]
