After one week in Artimino we left for our second visit to Rome. We have been there in 2007 and just wanted to have another look at the Eternal City. Things have changed a lot. While in 2007 (we were there at a similar time of the year) there were a lot of visitors, this […]

Tuscany
From Levanto we drove via Carrara and Lucca to Artimino, our next 7 day stay in Tuscany. From there we did day trips to the planned areas. First day of our stay was utilized by the cooking course in which we learned how to make Pasta and Cantucci. Finally, after the whole trip, it was […]
Cinque Terre
We went from home by car down to Como in Italy for a one night stay because travel distance was too much to do it in one go. So, our travel truly started on the next day when we drove to Levanto. The road led us via Milano and Genova down to our first destination. […]
Sunset at Obereversand
I did several attempts to shoot another time at Obereversand while having sunset, but either time didn’t permit or the weather was turning so that the scenery didn’t look as I was expecting. Yesterday it worked quite well. I spent 2h there shooting several scenes. Although the evening was quite nice I prefer to go […]
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 […]
Cuxhaven – Common terns
Some more time spent to shoot some common terns. Besides those I also did some bunblebee shots in the garden which came out quite nicely.
Cuxhaven – Common terns
I was out to the Kugelbake area to shoot some common terns. Unfortunately the wind direction was from south-east so it was rarely seen from front when the terns flew up from the water after they picked a fish as they mostly get up against the wind. First day I used the D500 with my […]
After the thunderstorm
Some pictures taken after heavy rain and thunderstorm in the harbor area. The sun came out late in the evening while the clouds where moving towards north-east.
Cuxhaven
Sunny but also slightly foggy day. Sigma had sent back the adjusted 18-35, I wanted to give it another try with the D7200. Around the Steubenhöft and during a ferry ride some good chances to test the lens. Besides the prime lenses from Sigma this is probably the sharpest lens ever seen on DX.
