We are planning to revisit Tuscany in 2017. The main reason is that the autumn season we had in 2016 didn’t look as nice as we anticipated for the Val d’Orcia and Crete Sinesi photo locations. Therefore planning another short-trip only to these 2 main areas for spring time 2017. Agriturismo Baccoleno I am moving […]
Winter sunset
The sky looked promising yesterday afternoon. Low thick clouds over the area but south direction was blue sky. Sunset was close so I went to the shore near by to shoot some sunset pictures. Unfortunately, the sky didn’t turn to the full red in the cloudy area but still a nice one. Used the D800 on […]
Eurasian curlew in Cappel-Neufeld
Around 100 birds of this species are around Cappel-Neufeld area. The fillet there allows for nice positioning of tripod with camera. However, no close-ups possible there, so one would need good amount of focal length for some shootings. Used the D500 with the Nikkor 500f4 and TC-14 mounted on the Berlebach Uni-16 with Wimberley WH-200 […]
Foggy morning…
Just for one shot down to the “Alte Liebe”. With such conditions a black and whit edoes make a better job. Using the D800 with Zeiss 35f2 and Polarizer with 10-Stop ND. At f8 this was resulting in 30 seconds exposure time which smoothed the water quite well.
Sea-fowl on an overcast day
Very bad weather for doing some sea-fowl shots but I wanted to get out and do some. Not a lot to be kept on my disk though.
After the frost…
Birds in the backyard 2016
End of October, so, time to put the feeders back. After a short while the birds came and started to enjoy the diverse food that is offered.
No luck with cranes
Went to the Rehdener Geestmoor to see the huge crane crowds during migration season. Up to 20000 birds are out there. Well, weather wasn’t good and so also the pictures went. Anyway, some impressions… Very early morning shots of the geese also being in that area. Thousands of birds suddenly going up. Unfortunately the cranes […]
How crazy is that?

Mainly done by car but also including footwalks, trains, underground and bus as well as the boat trip in Cinque Terre. The distance covered for the 2 days to […]
