Recently bought the old Nikkor 500 AF-S first version. The shots I did so far using that lens are of amazing quality compared to the Tamron or Sigma zooms. However, the Sigma 150-600 S performs still at a high level but no chance compared to the prime lens. Using the lens without converter delivers outstanding results […]

Keep Lightroom and Photoshop in sync
Always had the problem to keep my laptop and desktop in sync for the Lightroom and Photoshop settings, presets, etc. The solution to this is to make use of a “cloud-sync” which keeps the files used still local and does sync automatically between the machines. I am using the Synology CloudStation for this, but it […]
Iceland statistics
The whole traveling distance I tracked with my Garmin was 5490km. Using the 2 cameras I had with me I did 4549 pictures. Main lens on the D800 was the Sigma 24-105f4 Art. With the D4 I used nearly all lenses except the Sigma Zoom. Most pictures of the Birds were shot with the D4. The EV […]
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 […]
Gitzo GT4552TS with Arca Swiss D4
In the past years I always used the Feisol CT3442 for landscape photography. The most annoying thing about that tripod was that it wasn’t the rapid version and I often messed up with the legs when unfolding it. Because of that and as I was looking for a solid mount also to be used with […]

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 […]
