Was looking forward to a nice sunset with good coloured skies. However, it wasn’t that intense yesterday. Anyway, some nice clouds were there and it was definitely worth to go there for some shots. All pictures taken with the Nikon D800 and the Zeiss 21mm f/2.8.

Cuxhaven – New Marina
One shot taken at the new Marina in Cuxhaven where several apartments were built. Nearly finished but not in use yet. Shot was taken with the Nikon D2x and the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8.
Cuxhaven – Building Harbour
One shot in the evening, taken at the building harbour of Cuxhaven. This location is close to the Kugelbake monument. Using the 21mm Zeiss on the D800 and Polarizer with ND 3.0 filter resulting in 137 second exposure at f/11.
Lighthouse Balje
Short trip to Balje. The main front of the lighthouse points – of course – towards the river Elbe and therefore no real nice location to take pictures – unless you get there by boat.
Cuxhaven – Steubenhöft
Quickly decided to take some shots of the back of the building using the PC-E. Unfortunately I forgot that the D2x is not suited for the lens (you cannot shoot anything else but open aperture, so f3.5). Anyways, tried my best using the manual focus with the viewfinder and, before it started raining again, her’s a […]
Kugelbake
Another set of pictures from Cuxhaven’s landmark; this time using the Nikkor PC-E on my D7200. No sunrise, no sunset, just later the day. In the first image I tilted by about 4° down and shifted the lens up. Due to the tilt, the whole foreground was in focus – very nice. Exactly why I […]
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe (using the Nikkor PC-E)
First test of the Nikkor 24mm f3.5 PC-E. As I had only my D7200 available I did only 2 images one without any tilt or shift and another one using the shift for a panorama shot (portrait mode – three images).
Cuxhaven – Ruddy turnstone
Good but not brillant weather for another look at Cuxhaven’s Kugelbake area for some seafowl. Some Ruddy Turnstones around at the jetty. Shots were taken with the D500 and the Nikkor 200-400 (with and without TC-14).
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe
Skyfire had a 60% chance of nice sunrise. However, that did not happen as I thought. Anyways some morning shots of the location using the D800 and the Zeiss 18mm lens.
Cuxhaven – Sahlenburg Timelapse
Short test of the Irix f2.4 on my D800. The result was not what I was looking for and what was stated on diverse websites. I sent it back next day. While I was testing the Irix 15mm f2.4 using my D800 I started the D7200 and it do a timelapse.
