New weather station
I had to replace my old weather station. After 4 years the rain sensor of the Oregon WMR200 failed for the second time (outside guarantee). The new actual weather can be found here. At current I cannot provide daily, weekly and monthly overviews. Such data from my station can be viewed on Weather Underground INIEDERS390 […]
Good sunset/sunrise prediction
Besides choosing the right location for this kind of photography, there are conditions which allow or disallow doing it. To a good extend it is plan-able, but at last it will also need some luck. Below I tried to summarize the factors to use for prediction of such. Mid to high level clouds Clouds are […]
Tuscany 2017 – Statistics
The traveling distance I tracked with my Garmin (without the way from home to Tuscany and back) is shown here: The total distance in Tuscany we travelled over the ten days was 1300 km. From and to Tuscany summed up to 3150 km, which gives a total of 4450 km. I used 2 camera gears over […]
Cuxhaven – Steubenhöft
Quickly decided to take some shots of the back of the building using the PC-E. Unfortunately I forgot that the D2x is not suited for the lens (you cannot shoot anything else but open aperture, so f3.5). Anyways, tried my best using the manual focus with the viewfinder and, before it started raining again, her’s a […]
Printing images – Part 5
The targeted 160 prints are reached. The printer still has the setup cartridges in use. In the meantime 10 out of 12 cartridges with the remark “low ink” are listed in the overview, but still filled with at least 5%. Time to do an interim conclusion … The costs and expenditures stated below are, of course, related […]
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe (using the Nikkor PC-E)
First test of the Nikkor 24mm f3.5 PC-E. As I had only my D7200 available I did only 2 images one without any tilt or shift and another one using the shift for a panorama shot (portrait mode – three images).
Printing images – Part 4
After several prints I received the message that one of the cartridges has low ink available. As expected this is for the Chroma-Optimizer, which is also stated in the Canon technical specifications the one getting empty rather quick (together with the grey inks). Below is the screenshot of the Canon utility showing the ink status. Not […]
Printing images – Part 3
I opened a shop where prints of selected pictures from my library can be ordered directly via certain print providers. The quality available does offer Fine Art prints on Hahnemühle, Canvas and others but also downloads of pictures in diverse sizes. You can visit the shop by using this link or the Printshop link provided in […]
Printing images – Part 2
There is a huge number of paper grades and manufacturers out there. For the first tests I have chosen the paper from the printer manufacturer, in my case Canon. So, once I ordered the printer, I also purchased some paper Canon Pro Luster A4 and A3 Canon Premium Matte A4 Canon Pro Platinum A3 + By no […]
