This morning in Bremerhaven I was almost late. The light was barely on before it got too harsh. The Alexander von Humboldt II obscured a better view of the Hotel Atlantic from the lock, but does not matter in this case. All pictures were taken with the Fuji X and the 18-55mm Fujinon. There are […]

Fuji X
First attempt with the Fuji X-T20. The operating concept does not appeal to me as a Nikon user, but the camera is small, light and accordingly “just quickly taken along”. In the – unfair – comparison to the Nikon D850, but also to the much older D800, the image quality is – still – not […]
Cuxhaven water tower
Today’s evening shot with the modified Nikon D80, Nikkor 16-85 and the Hoya R72 Infrared, converted to black/white
Industrial Fox
Early this morning in Groden, a fox was running around on the premises of a company. When he saw me, he had already gone…

Feldberg Lake District – Eagle Tour
The eagle tour didn’t work so well with my photos. The D500 with the 300 PF was “too close” and with the D4 I missed painfully the group focus. The kites were a little better…

My fourth visit to the Feldberg lake district. 3 years ago I had been there last. For the first evening we had booked the Milan tour. From the light it started a bit too early, but at least it was ok. Meanwhile on the tour a grey heron comes to the bait fish. That was […]
Eurasian reed warbler
Common linnet
I did not find the carmine rosefinch I was looking for, but I was able to take some nice pictures of common linnets.
Eurasian dotterel
I also wanted to have a look at the Eurasian dotterel sighted near Cuxhaven. So I drove there on Saturday and looked, but there was nothing to discover. But I had luck with a bluethroat. This Sunday morning in the morning again there and looked. Yes, there were 10 to 15 Eurasian dotterel present, but […]
