Tried some morning shots at the Alte Liebe area in Cuxhaven. Unfortunately a small band of clouds prevented the skyfire.

Cuxhaven – Heatherfields
Two attempts to grab some pictures of the prospering heather in the refuge near the shoreline. The morning didn’t went that well as the expected light was not showing up. The evening hours did much better with the light.
Another sunset at Kugelbake
The last one from the alternate position did not turn out as good as I was hoping. The skies weren’t that much populated with clouds as hoped for. Therefore, another try at this place. This time it turned out much better. I did several long exposures using the D800 and the Zeiss 21mm with a […]
Sunrise at Kugelbake
I was hoping for some nice colours with clouds in the morning. However, this did not happen. Sunrise has already moved further forward in south direction, so there won’t be much time left to shoot from this position in 2017.
Sunflowers
Rare finding here in Cuxhaven – a field with sunflowers. Looks like not intentionally have been seeded for this and still a bit sparse but somewhat nice. Shortly I’ve taken the pictures, it started to rain. Shot with the D800 and the Sigma 24-105mm using a tripod.
Sunset at Kugelbake
Another sunset at Cuxhaven’s monument at the river Elbe and the Northern Sea. This time from a different location I never were before. Unfortunately the sky didn’t have much clouds above the monument. I used the PC-E 24 Tilt/Shift lens on the D800. However, still need to learn appropriate tilt usage.
Bremerhaven’s last streetcar
Found the last resort of the last streetcar that was used in Bremerhaven until 1982. Seems to stand there for some years and does not look it can ever be used again 🙂 The streetcar shown here was built in 1952 and was in use to the last day on Jul-30th 1982. Intention for the […]
Sunset at Lighthouse Obereversand
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.
Bremerhaven – Automobile carrier in the harbour
Another run with the D2x set to b/w picture mode. Again using the Nikkor 24 f/2.8. This time watching the tugboats in the Bremerhaven lock getting a big automobile carrier into the harbour.
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.
