Looking through my older pictures to see what could be used for the Lightroom 6 photo-merge testing, I found lots of panoramas I didn’t run through and besides this also few normal pictures. Here are some of them, more available on the SmugMug […]

Cuxhaven harbour
Even in summer the weather in Iceland can be of any kind. However these days it is like there also here in Cuxhaven. Clouds, some small openings in the clouds, rain and so on. All pictures taken with Nikon D800 and Sigma 24-105f4 mounted on Gitzo DT4552TS with Arca Swiss D4. Also trying out a […]
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. […]
Flight at Kugelbake
Short flight with the DJI at Cuxhaven Kugelbake. Last flight I did was in the morning hours so the sun was behind the Kugelbake. Today in the early evening hours the light was coming from the opposite side. Unfortunately still a lot of people around so I went a bit offside.

Planning Day 12: Djúpivogur to Hali
Drive from Djúpivogur to Hali. Distance: 160 km Time to drive: 1:54 h Djúpivogur is also just an interim stop to avoid too many kilometers traveling at one day.
