Today we’re going from Snorrastaðir to Látrabjarg. The route is planned via Klofingur and Rkhólaeyr at the southern coast line of the Westfjords. To Klofingur we are taking the gravel road 590.

Day-3: Snæfellsnes Tour
Early up and the sun is shining! Fantastic! Now we only need this for the tour to Snæfellsnes. Long story short… yes, it is fantastic weather at nearly all places on the peninsula. On to Hellnar seeing the wonderful cave of lava in the water, the Baðstofa. After a short walk we are driving back […]
Day-2: Glanni, Hraunfossar and Langaholt
Bad weather in the morning and when looking at the Iceland weather forecast page, it doesn’t seem to get better. We’ll skip Snæfellsnes for today and try tomorrow with the hope of some better weather. Instead we’re going to the palces which were planned for day 3, Glanni waterfall and Hraunfossar. Arriving at Glanni after […]
Day-1: Snorrastaðir
It’s just a 3 hour 15 minutes flight from Hamburg to Keflavik. The flight was slightly late and the baggage reclaim took very long before the luggage was on the conveyor but finally we got it. The guy from the rental car company picked us up and we went to his office to pickup the Suzuki Grand […]
First test of the Skywatcher Allview
I recently purchased the Skywatcher Allview for automatic Panorama shooting. After doing some minor tests with the software at home, I wanted to try it out in the “field”. The Cuxhaven Harbor location in the evening was a nice place for 2 different sessions having enough details and also water with waves which always get […]
Some missing gems from 2012 New York trip
Ich habe einige schöne Bilder von meiner New York-Reise im Januar 2012 vermisst. Bei der Durchsicht meiner älteren Bilder, um zu sehen, was für den Lightroom 6-Fotozusammenführungstest verwendet werden könnte, fand ich viele Panoramen, die ich nicht durchlaufen habe, und daneben auch einige normale Bilder. Hier sind einige von ihnen, weitere sind auf der SmugMug-Seite […]
Cuxhaven Hafen
Selbst im Sommer kann das Wetter in Island von jeder Art sein. Doch in diesen Tagen ist es auch hier in Cuxhaven so. Wolken, ein paar kleine Öffnungen in den Wolken, Regen und so weiter. Alle Bilder wurden mit der Nikon D800 und dem Sigma 24-105f4 auf dem Gitzo DT4552TS mit Arca Swiss D4 aufgenommen. […]
Windmill Amanda in Grefenmoor
Some pictures of the windmill Amanda in Grefenmoor close to Stade. All these pictures were taken in 2006 using the Olympus E-500 with standard kit lenses. At that time I was mainly doing panorama pictures stitched together of several shots using a self-made nodal adapter. For the first time the smock mill was built in 1853. […]
Flug an der Kugelbake
Kurzer Flug mit dem DJI an der Cuxhavener Kugelbake. Der letzte Flug fand in den Morgenstunden statt, so dass die Sonne hinter der Kugelbake stand. Heute in den frühen Abendstunden kam das Licht von der anderen Seite. Leider waren noch viele Leute unterwegs, so dass ich etwas abseits flog.
