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.
Madeira – Fanal (3)
In the second post about Fanal I had shown a sequence of pictures showing how the clouds come over the cloud forest and disappear again. Here is a suitable 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.

I decided to give it a go anyway. Instead of the nature reserve close to Cuxhaven I went to Cappel-Neufeld beach. The Zeiss […]

Parque Infantil “Pico dos Barcelos” The Parque Infantil Pico dos Barcelos is a children’s playground with a small park and a restaurant. There is a parking lot directly in front of the entrance (but only about 20 parking spaces). […]
Madeira – Pico Ruivo
The Pico Ruivo is with 1861m the highest mountain on Madeira. A well-developed hiking trail leads from the car park to the top of the mountain. The way was quite exhausting, especially the last 500 meters. After 2500 meters you reach the above shown house, approx. 500 meters before the summit (where it gets quite […]
Madeira – Curral das Freiras
The so-called “Valley of the Nuns” Curral das Freiras was also on our list. However, it was not quite the expected highlight. Especially at the Miradouro do Curral das Freiras there are many tourists, who are driven up by busses during a day trip.
