As planned earlier we made it on Dec-28th to Wilhelmshaven for some lighthouse shots. Although the sunrise was not as I was hoping for, it was at least a good chance to explore the location further.

Lighthouse Arngast
The Jadebusen tour wasn’t turning out that good. Although the tour itself was nice, but the chances of taking some pictures were very limited due to very misty weather. Only two chances to grab a shot of Arngast were available. The second location was already showing a lot of flickering air and therefore not working […]
Bremerhaven’s last streetcar
Found the last resort of the last streetcar that was used in Bremerhaven until 1982. Seems to stand there for some years and does not look it can ever be used again 🙂 The streetcar shown here was built in 1952 and was in use to the last day on Jul-30th 1982. Intention for the […]
Bremerhaven – Automobile carrier in the harbour
Another run with the D2x set to b/w picture mode. Again using the Nikkor 24 f/2.8. This time watching the tugboats in the Bremerhaven lock getting a big automobile carrier into the harbour.
Bremerhaven – Lighthouse Geeste
Things sometimes get different than planned. The planned location where I wanted to take the shots from was closed to public and slightly left to that point (which would still have worked), a ship was moored. I took one testshot between the ship and the fence but that wasn’t the picture I was looking for. […]
How crazy is that?
Westerheversand Lighthouse
We went there yesterday to take some shots according to my planning. However, the second part from the planning didn’t work out as the second and third planned locations are not doable due to no pathway to get there (which isn’t showing as good on Google Maps) and also it is closed rest area for breeding […]
Improving planning skills
I try to improve my planning skills for photo location visits. Of course this cannot be done for each and every location but it might provide some good results for a specific shooting in a single location. So here’s the thing… I will go for lighthouse Westerheversand tomorrow. The weather forecast doesn’t look too bad so […]
Hamburg
Some pictures from last Saturday… Mainly using the Zeiss 25/2.8 for shooting; however, it was already late and close to noon so not the best light conditions. In Lightroom I used the Kodak Velvia 100 develop preset for some pictures.
Bremerhaven – Ovation of the Seas
The new constructed Ovation of the Seas is docked in Bremerhaven and will get over to Hamburg this weekend. Visiting the Atlantic Hotel platform to have a nice look from above in sunny weather but later also at the Columbus Cruise Terminal. Again it proved that the Sigma Art Series do have outstanding performance. Sharpness is incredible […]
