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 […]
Voigtländer Apo-Lanthar 90mm f/3,5 SL II
Got this lens recently. What a nice little beauty. It offers fantastic sharpness and a bokeh that is really worth looking. The focusing works smoothly and using the focus indicator in the camera helps focussing correctly. Some shots taken of flowers and in the harbor.
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.

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

Hamburg
Some pictures from last Saturday… Mainly using the Zeiss 25/2.8 for shooting; however, it was already late and close to noon so not the best light conditions. In Lightroom I used the Kodak Velvia 100 develop preset for some pictures.
Planning Venice
On our way back we will have another stop for 2 nights in Treviso to have a day trip to Venice which we will do by train. In Venice we will have a walk to see some of the interesting places. On the walk Torre dell’Orologio St Mark’s Basilica St Mark’s Campanile Doge’s Palace Rialto Bridge
