Lighthouse Balje
Short trip to Balje. The main front of the lighthouse points – of course – towards the river Elbe and therefore no real nice location to take pictures – unless you get there by boat.
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 […]
Kugelbake
Another set of pictures from Cuxhaven’s landmark; this time using the Nikkor PC-E on my D7200. No sunrise, no sunset, just later the day. In the first image I tilted by about 4° down and shifted the lens up. Due to the tilt, the whole foreground was in focus – very nice. Exactly why I […]
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).
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe
Skyfire had a 60% chance of nice sunrise. However, that did not happen as I thought. Anyways some morning shots of the location using the D800 and the Zeiss 18mm lens.
Cuxhaven – Sahlenburg Timelapse
Short test of the Irix f2.4 on my D800. The result was not what I was looking for and what was stated on diverse websites. I sent it back next day. While I was testing the Irix 15mm f2.4 using my D800 I started the D7200 and it do a timelapse.
Sunrise at Kugelbake
Early morning at Cuxhaven’s town landmark the Kugelbake. The weather forecast wasn’t really promising but it turned out to be a stunning sunrise. I used the D800 with the Samyang 135f2 and a polarizer for some decent shots while the sun was rising.
Cuxhaven – Alte Liebe
Early morning at the “Alte Liebe” in Cuxhaven. Short but somewhat nice sunrise time with just a small area where the sun was coming through the clouds.
Lighthouse “Kleiner Preusse”
Another set of sunset shots at the lighthouse. First time was spent to grab some impressions of the so called “Wremer Tief”, later a couple of shots of the lighthouse itself.
