White-tailed eagle In the morning we go out again to see whether the white-tailed eagle named Aalfred would come to grab some lure. Lucky we were seeing him in the trees where he normally sits and waits. Once Fred is shouting and throws the eel out, he really takes off and grabs the fish. Unfortunately […]

Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 1
The tour We booked three days with Ranger Tours to do another session – like last year – for in-flight shooting of white-tailed eagles attracted with eels to fly close by the boat and allow amazing shots of the eagles grabbing the fish. Besides eagle shooting, the booked session also entailed evening boat rides to have […]

Planning Cinque Terre
The first place we’re going to visit is around the Cinque Terre after staying one night in Como we can take a slow ride to Levanto. The Cinque Terre is quite a unique place in Europe with beautiful small fishing villages along the Mediterranean Sea coastline south of Genoa. Driving by car is not really possible there […]
Sonntagmorgen
Einige Bilder von hier und dort, aufgenommen letzten Sonntag. Für die obige Aufnahme wurde die D2x mit dem Sigma 10-20 verwendet.
Birds in the backyard 2016
Assignation at the feeder place. Besides several Eurasian Tree Sparrows and Great Tits, a Greenfinch and a Hedge Sparrow showed up during a 1h session. Unfortunately the Long-tailed Tits did not pass by. Have only seen them once here and the shots I took are not really worth to be kept.
Ovation of the Seas
Die Ovation of the Seas sollte von Bremerhaven nach Hamburg fahren und musste daher Cuxhaven passieren. Allerdings war es schon spät am Tag und das beste Licht war schon weg. Ich wollte ein oder zwei Aufnahmen mit der Kugelbake (Cuxhavener Denkmal) machen, aber wegen des Nebels sind die Fotos nicht sehr klar. Die meisten Bilder […]
Bremerhaven – Ovation of the Seas
The new constructed Ovation of the Seas is docked in Bremerhaven and will get over to Hamburg this weekend. Visiting the Atlantic Hotel platform to have a nice look from above in sunny weather but later also at the Columbus Cruise Terminal. Again it proved that the Sigma Art Series do have outstanding performance. Sharpness is incredible […]
Am Hafen
Ich habe das Sigma 10-20 f3.5 für einige Aufnahmen in der “Alten Liebe” an meiner D2x verwendet. Hauptsächlich um das Objektiv zu testen und zu sehen, wie das Zoom funktioniert.
Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM
Recently bought a Sigma 10-20f3.5 ultra-wide for DX. Together with my Sigma 30f1.4 this would give a light combination for walking trips in cities and also for landscape shots using the D7200. The 30f1.4 proves absolutely fantastic sharpness on DX but would need company for wide angles. This one entry is purely focussing on the […]
