Two nice fellows from a photo community visited Cuxhaven to take some shots of the Short-eared owls. Lucky they were, very nice weather and towards the end a lot of action from 2 birds. The weather has turned from cold snow to slightly above 0°C, so the snow was already nearly gone. OK, you cannot […]

Short-eared Owls – Fourth round
Quick visit over midday. Some activity from the owls shortly after I arrived. However, it was very cold and foggy, so I only stayed there for about an hour. All shots today were done with the D4 and Sigma 150-600 S.
Short-eared Owls – Third round
Yesterday’s weather was promised to be brillant, and it turned out to be. Photographers from far came to the place where the owls are. Some did more than 400 kilometers to get here. The scenery was quite bizarre. For some time the owls – people say it seem to be six birds – were active […]
Short-eared Owls – Second time
It started snowing early afternoon for 2h. After that sun came through and shortly before sunset time it was golden light. Unfortunately, the meadow where the owls are was already in full shadow. I was able to take some shots using the D7200 and the Sigma 150-600 in around 20 minutes but had to use […]
Short-eared Owls in Cuxhaven
Since a couple of weeks there are 4 short-eared owls hunting during day close to Cuxhaven’s marina. Yesterday I was able to grab them during some sunny moments using the D7200 and the Tamron 150-600. Some more shots are available on my SmugMug site by clicking the picture above.
New Year
Didn’t have much time for photography in the past 2 months and the weather wasn’t pleasing for this hobby as well – but at least a picture to welcome the new year. So, packed my AllView Panorama-Head and went to the Cuxhaven harbor for having a different view than usual. Shot was done using the […]
At the Schleusenpriel
Early morning shot in the center of Cuxhaven. Using the Allview Panoramic Head for a 24 picture panorama with the D800 and the Zeiss 50f1.4 for a 180° wide view. The final stitched picture is around 1.5 GByte in size and has around 500 Megapixel. On the right side is the Public Library and opposite […]
Autumn
Some shots taken during a walk through the forest in Sahlenburg. I had the D800 with the Zeiss 50f1.4 and the D2x with the Sigma 30f1.4 with me. Both are excellent lenses that provide sharp and gracious looking pictures.
Kugelbake sunrise
Spent a good hour to take some shots of the sunrise in the wadden sea close to Cuxhaven monument “Kugelbake”. Using the Sigma 35mm attached to the D2x and the Sigma 50mm at the D800 which gives comparable angles of view. Barnacle geese getting to the south for winter. The old D2x is still a […]
Workshop Feldberg 2015

In addition some informal practice sessions with […]
