Another test flight. Unfortunately very foggy weather and therefore nearly no sight for the camera. But, thanks to Manfred, I got 2 pictures of the copter in flight…
Walkera QR X350 pro
First flight with camera using the quadcopter. The iLook camera which was included is basically a piece of crap and needs to be replaced as soon as possible to get some good results. Flying the drone isn’t as hard as I thought in the beginning. After 2 days trying things out I would feel comfortable […]
Obereversand
Cuxhaven: Obereversand
Another set from Obereversand. This time not as foggy as last time. A one hour session with the Voigtländer 58mm/f1.4 again showed brillant performance of the lens mounted to the D800.
Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II Testshots (second test)
Better setup this time by using a tripod to shoot the ASR Emitter amp. Not as many CAs because the sun wasn’t lightning the amp in one section. However, the amp looks quite battered in 100% 🙂 All shots done using aperture 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.8 / 4.0 / 5.6 / 7.1 / 8.0 […]
Cuxhaven
Sunset evening shots in Cuxhaven close to the Kugelbake landmark. Mainly using the Voigtländer Nokton 58/1.4 with the D800 and D3.

Last day… We are running one last Game Drive from 6:15am to around 9am. Then, after breakfast, we will leave to Nairobi again. After – for the last time – trying to find the Leopard, we drive again to the other side of the river just to see some cocktail herds. While driving through we […]
Friday July 18th, 2014: Game Drive Day 7
Last full day here in the camp. Tomorrow we have to leave. If I could rebook the flight, I would have considered to stay another day or 2 or 3… We try again to concentrate on the Leopard but for a last time, no luck. We will try the Cheetah later today and also in the […]
Thursday July 17th, 2014: Game Drive Day 6
Again a splitted day with breakfast out. We leave at 6:15am. Mainly looking for the Leopards around but again, no luck. We take another look at the place where we saw the lions yesterday evening. They’re still around. First we thought they might go out for hunting but then they went up the rocks […]
