Yesterday we started a second round of testing in much better conditions. A few shots in Cappel-Neufeld, Berensch and Lüdingworth are not even that bad. Of course the flying has to get a bit better, but the little Mavic is doing really well. No comparison to the Phantom I had 6 years ago. For the […]

Mavic Mini First Flight
First test flight with the Mavic Mini in modest weather (and it was cold to boot). The flight characteristics of the small drone are enormous. Despite icy winds the little Mavic stands very calm in the air. The telephone battery did not like the temperatures at all. After 20 minutes the battery had gone from […]
Printing images – Canon Firmware Update
Canon has released a firmware-update in October. Two major changes that are interesting for me: Maximum paper length for printing is now 1200mm. This means that smaller panoramas can now also be printed in larger format (432mm x 1200mm). However, the handling of roll paper is only an emergency solution here. Since the printer does not […]
Nikkor 300f/4 and 500f/5.6
My lenses arrived today. A short test at the beach was very promising. All pictures were taken with the D500. Screenshots from Lightroom. Only exposure adjusted and developed with automatic adjustment. Completely developed crop using the Nikkor 500.

Calendar for 2020
In cooperation with Ringfoto Schattke and Lebenshilfe Cuxhaven I created a calendar for 2020 and it is already available. The calendar contains a total of 14 images (plus cover picture) from the Cuxhaven area. All pictures are printed in DIN-A4. In addition, each calendar comes with a voucher for one or two pictures in print quality […]
Jupiter descending
Using my Sigma 150-600mm with TC-1401 and the D850 I tried to shoot the Jupiter. All overexposed, too long exposed with 1 second and very tiny which does not make this an option for planet or even star shootings. 850mm on full frame is far too short for such pictures, but, anyway. If I am […]
Good sunset/sunrise prediction
I had published my thoughts around this topic regarding photography at sunrise/sunset here. Today I have the opportunity to visualize this using an example from today’s morning shot at Cuxhaven’s Kugelbake. The picture shows the object and the structures in the sky. Easy to see which clouds don’t get any color. The accompanied part of […]
