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 […]

Bremerhaven – Ovation of the Seas
The new constructed Ovation of the Seas is docked in Bremerhaven and will get over to Hamburg this weekend. Visiting the Atlantic Hotel platform to have a nice look from above in sunny weather but later also at the Columbus Cruise Terminal. Again it proved that the Sigma Art Series do have outstanding performance. Sharpness is incredible […]
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.
Sunrise at the harbor
Early morning hours to visit the spot where the Short-eared Owls are. I was trying to grab a nice picture having one of the owls in the sunrise light. While being there I also took some nice sunrise shots of the harbor area.

At the Schleusenpriel
Early morning shot in the center of Cuxhaven. Using the Allview Panoramic Head for a 24 picture panorama with the D800 and the Zeiss 50f1.4 for a 180° wide view. The final stitched picture is around 1.5 GByte in size and has around 500 Megapixel. On the right side is the Public Library and opposite […]
Autumn
Some shots taken during a walk through the forest in Sahlenburg. I had the D800 with the Zeiss 50f1.4 and the D2x with the Sigma 30f1.4 with me. Both are excellent lenses that provide sharp and gracious looking pictures.
Kugelbake sunrise
Spent a good hour to take some shots of the sunrise in the wadden sea close to Cuxhaven monument “Kugelbake”. Using the Sigma 35mm attached to the D2x and the Sigma 50mm at the D800 which gives comparable angles of view. Barnacle geese getting to the south for winter. The old D2x is still a […]
