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
I missed some nice pictures from my January 2012 New York trip. 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.
