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.
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. […]
Planning Bremerhaven – Geeste
A picture that I have in my mind would cover the lighthouse in front of the setting sun. This time of the year would probably allow to do so, if the weather permits. [restrict userlevel=”subscriber”] The location for shooting is in the direction of the Geeste river spout. This allows for both lighthouses to shoot. […]
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.

As expected this is for the Chroma-Optimizer, which is also stated in the Canon technical specifications the one getting empty rather quick (together with the grey inks). Below is the screenshot of the Canon utility showing the ink status. Not […]

The quality available does offer Fine Art prints on Hahnemühle, Canvas and others but also downloads of pictures in diverse sizes. You can visit the shop by using this link or the Printshop link provided in […]
Printing images – Part 2
There is a huge number of paper grades and manufacturers out there. For the first tests I have chosen the paper from the printer manufacturer, in my case Canon. So, once I ordered the printer, I also purchased some paper Canon Pro Luster A4 and A3 Canon Premium Matte A4 Canon Pro Platinum A3 + By no […]
Printing images – Part 1
Some time ago I decided not only to look at my pictures on the TV, but to use selected pictures for prints on paper as an output medium. The primary objective is not to frame these pictures and hang them to the wall, but to have a portfolio in paper form. In addition, I lately always felt […]
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.
