Yesterday evening a visit to the lighthouse Obereversand was worthwhile. Two flights with the Mavic Mini and a few pictures came out. Of course the editing possibilities of the 12-mpix JPEGs are limited, but it is still worthwhile to take a panorama with the little drone every now and then. The D850 offers then nevertheless […]

Stormfront Sabine
Due to offshore winds, the stormfront Sabine was not very spectacular on Sunday. Meanwhile, the newspaper reported that the high water was lower than usual. So the trip to Obereversand was not really worthwhile.
Little Prussian
Not spectacular, but finally some sun. Although it was really very cold and the wind did the rest. Very windy for the small drone, but still quite stable shot, although the copter itself swayed and wobbled precariously in the air.
Cuxhaven Panorama
Test of the automatic release with the DJI. In this case, the Mavic Mini takes a picture every 2 seconds. If you let it slowly rotate around its own axis, you can easily create a 360° panorama from the individual images. The image quality is also not too bad for the small sensor. However, the […]
Cuxhaven – Ritzebüttel Castle
Today I made an infrared picture with the Nikon D80, Nikkor 16-85 and the Hoya R72 filter. It is rather something for spring and summer, but with subsequent retro-style conversion to Lightroom, it can also be used in winter.
Cuxhaven – Local Court
Difficult to photograph. You stand very close to it and even with a 24mm TS-lens it is not enough to put the camera in balance on the tripod. An attempt with 18mm fails almost as well. The tripod head has to be moved out of balance or it is not possible without cutting off the […]
Lighthouse Balje
Early this morning in Balje. Light frost and hardly any wind. Although the sunrise cannot directly be seen from the position I stood, even in winter; a great sky above the lighthouse showed up. The colors in the image above have been slightly reduced in the post-production, they were a little more blatant in nature. […]
Cuxhaven – Steubenhöft
One of the most attractive buildings in Cuxhaven is unfortunately completely overbuilt in the harbour and not very well maintained in the surrounding area. The D850 was used with the 24mm PC-E and 2 ND filters (13 stops) to achieve > 4 minutes exposure time.
Historical public bathroom
Here’s the attempt to take a picture of the historical public bathroom close to the dike at the ferry harbour in Cuxhaven.
Supplement to the Obereversand
I created a black/white version of a picture for the contribution about the week of lights from Obereversand.
