Went to an area near to my hometown where White-tailed eagles were seen recently. Right when I arrived one eagle was perching on a tree. He flew off for a while but came back and I was lucky that I grabbed that situation. Using the brand-new D500 with the Nikkor 500 plus TC-14 for all […]

Sunday morning
Some pictures from here and there taken last Sunday. Using the D2x with the Sigma 10-20 for above shot.
Birds in the backyard 2016
Assignation at the feeder place. Besides several Eurasian Tree Sparrows and Great Tits, a Greenfinch and a Hedge Sparrow showed up during a 1h session. Unfortunately the Long-tailed Tits did not pass by. Have only seen them once here and the shots I took are not really worth to be kept.
Ovation of the Seas
The Ovation of the Seas had to go from Bremerhaven to Hamburg and therefore had to pass Cuxhaven. However it came late the day and best light was already gone. Wanted to have one or two shots with the Kugelbake (Cuxhaven Monument) but due to foggy conditions the photos aren’t very clear. Majority of the […]
Around the harbor
Using the Sigma 10-20 f3.5 for some shots at the “Alte Liebe” on my D2x. Mainly to test the lens and see how the zoom performs.
Around the harbor
Trying the D7200 and Sigma 30f1.4 Art for city- and landscape shots during a short walk in the harbor area.
Birds in the backyard 2016
Haven’t done bird shooting in my backyard for quite some time. Today I took the chance to do some shots at the feeder place.
Cuxhaven – Other local seafowl
Second try with the Nikkor 500f4, this time using the D7200. Was lucky to get some close Oystercatchers as they are normally quite shy. The lens does not perform as great as with the D4, but that’s not a surprise. Some quality trade-off is because of the smaller pixel-pitch of the D7200 but some is […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
Desperately waiting to get a chance to try out the recently bought AF-S 500f4 lens. The weather today morning was nice and 2 hours left before high tide, so I went to Kugelbake and looking for some Sandpipers there. Fortunately not too many people were around and I was lucky to get some good shots. […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
The owls are gone so having at least lot of seafowl left here. Was shortly looking at Kugelbake area and found 2 sandpiper species.
