Some pictures of the windmill Amanda in Grefenmoor close to Stade. All these pictures were taken in 2006 using the Olympus E-500 with standard kit lenses. At that time I was mainly doing panorama pictures stitched together of several shots using a self-made nodal adapter. For the first time the smock mill was built in 1853. […]

Flight at Kugelbake
Short flight with the DJI at Cuxhaven Kugelbake. Last flight I did was in the morning hours so the sun was behind the Kugelbake. Today in the early evening hours the light was coming from the opposite side. Unfortunately still a lot of people around so I went a bit offside.
Common Redshank in the salt marsh
Wanted to give the Gitzo a try using the Wimberley WH200. It does work quite nice but has no chance when compared to the Berlebach UNI-16. So, whenever size and weight allows, the UNI-16 is the first choice. A pair of Common Redshank were often up in the air to get the Seagulls away from their […]

I totally forgot about the later afternoon pictures from the recent US trip. Some nice shots of the Bald Eagle’s nest with the adult sitting in. The late afternoon light was giving these pictures a much nicer look than the morning pictures. The above gives an impression on the nest size.
Polder Glies
Not a lot of action at Polder Glies but at least I was able to shoot my first cuckoo ever. The little Barn Swallow wasn’t scared and sat at the look out so I had to move backwards to get into shooting distance.
Seafowl in Cappel-Neufeld
Early morning quick stop in Cappel-Neufeld for some Oystercatchers. Unfortunately not the promised weather. Nevertheless two shots worth to keep as they show a very calm sea.
Helgoland
Daytrip to Helgoland. Both 150-600 lenses and the Nikkor 200-400 together with the D7200 and D4 were used for several shots. Mainly doing close-ups and in flight shots. More Helgoland pictures from this trip by clicking one of the pictures which takes you to the SmugMug gallery.

Going to Hamden for a short late morning view. The Ospreys are same as the other days. One is sitting on the nest, the other one “gone fishing”. The Bald Eagle nest was busy for 30 minutes. The chick got some food. Again they flew on the other side of the trees, so no […]

Very cloudy weather in the afternoon and not good light. Anyway trying out the Osprey and Bald Eagle spot. One of the Bald Eagles from Hamden nest was also close to the Osprey nest, flying at the other side of the lake. Two in-flight scenes left from the visit. Both Ospreys flew suddenly off and […]

Some shots of the Ospreys from one of the docks. Unfortunately the one on the pole didn’t want to move out.
