A 90 minutes drive to Stateline Lookout from Shelton. Wanted to see whether there would be some photographer’s I’ve met before there and whether there would be some Bald Eagles still. Nice Peregrine perching when I arrived. Not much else going on, so another try at Lake Tappen but besides some other birds, more […]

Another business trip to USA North-East. This time I stay in Shelton, CT. After some investigations I found 2 places which could be worth to visit for possible Bald Eagle shots, knowing that the season is already over and most of them have moved north again. In the morning hours I drove to Southbury which […]
F-Stop Tilopa packing
Two other ways to pack the Tilopa. First one is to have the standard gear plus the Tamron 150-600 with me. This prepares for nearly any situation. It does fit 2 Cameras (even D800 and D4 together) Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Sigma AF 15-30mm f/3,5-4,5 EX DG Aspherical Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG […]
Lowepro ProTrekker 300AW packing examples
See how to fit 2 Telezooms in the Lowepro for Helgoland trip. First option is the Nikkor 200-400 and the Sigma 150-600 S. On the Sigma a camera can be attached for transport. The Nikkor fills the entire vertical space. [singlepic id=5681 w= h= float=center] When using the Tamron 150-600 together with the Sigma 150-600 […]
Leuchtturm Balje
Eine weitere kurze Fahrt nach Balje. Einige Aufnahmen mit der D4 und dem Sigma 24-105. Diesmal hatte ich auch den DJI dabei, da ich einige kurze Clips an diesem Ort machen wollte. Neben den Clips stellte ich fest, dass die FC200-Kamera auch RAW-Aufnahmen machen kann, allerdings bringt der kleine Chip keine sehr gute Qualität. Immerhin […]
Wurster Nordseeküste
Kurzer Ausflug zu einigen bereits besuchten Orten. Die Qumox ActionCam machte eine Reihe von Bildern während der Aufnahme des Leuchtturms. Daraus konnte ein kurzes Zeitraffervideo erstellt werden.

Birds in the backyard
Unbelievable combination. The D7200 and the Sigma 150-600 S plus TC-1401 does perform so fantastic. This combo results in viewing angle of approx. 1260mm equivalent in FX. These results really open the question whether one needs to spend 8 to 10k€ for a prime lens… (still on my wishlist though :-))
Birds in the backyard
Some results from shooting with the D7200 over the last days in addition to my earlier blog entry now at SmugMug having some additional and different shots.
Using D7200 for bird shooting
Main reason for this crop camera is for wildlife and bird shooting. So I tried it out over the last days using it with the Tamron 150-600 and the Sigma 150-600 handhold only. The results are really impressive. Even at ISO 1600 still usable and with ISO 3200 somewhat satisfying at least for small pictures […]
