Over a year ago I had planned to photograph the lighthouse in Altenbruch at moonrise with telephoto lens. For the admission was thought to have the full moon close to the lighthouse to have then with the largest possible focal length a moon on the picture which corresponds in the diameter approximately to the width […]
Cuxhaven calendar 2023
The city of Cuxhaven has published this week your calendar for the year 2023. The photos for the calendar this time all come from my portfolio. High quality prints in different sizes and on different media from the motifs in the calendar can be ordered through my printshop.
30 minutes exposure
Last night I did a 30 minute exposure with the GFx. The bright stripe just above the water level is a crab fishing boat, which was leaving just as we arrived. Surprisingly few hot pixels and noise. DXO then also helped a lot (see comparison below), and Photoshop the few that were left.
Marina at night

Now, however…
Last night, until about 0:30, we saw the first NLCs this season. We were again at the ferry port. At first it didn’t look like we would be lucky, but as time passed and it got dark (well, it doesn’t get really dark), first faint, then more and more visible NLCs appeared. However, it […]
Summer sun
With the sun high in the sky last Thursday I made a panorama of four single images of the sun. The image was taken with the Skywatcher GTi mount and the Fuji X-T3 on the Maksutov 1300mm combined with the Kenko 1.5 teleconverter.
Cuxhaven Grimmershörn
Last night I tried – again without success – with NLCs. This time I stood at the beginning of the Grimmershörn bay with view to the Kugelbake, because here the area in the sky was a bit more cloud free. With the water rising, several ships made their way up the Elbe in the […]
Cuxhaven Döse
Yesterday afternoon I flew with the DJI Mini in Döse. Although there are already many vacationers here, the hustle and bustle in Grimmershörn Bay was still limited.
Moonrise over Altenbruch
I had already intended to take this shot last year, but due to heavy cloud cover it was not possible. So I submitted the date again. Despite lousy forecasts I was lucky this time. The photos were taken with the Fuji X-T3 on the Fringer adapter and with the Sigma 150-600 S. The […]
Architecture in Cuxhaven V
After it has not worked the day before yesterday to photograph the indoor swimming pool I went there again yesterday. This time the forecourt was empty and I could tackle it.
