There was a lot going on on the dike in Imsum today… However, the conditions were very, very bad. With the 500 at long range, there was so much air movement in the pictures that it was horrifying. The panorama with the Nikon D800 and the Nikkor 300PF is still halfway usable.

Hamburg Wilhelmsburg
On Saturday we went on a tour to Hamburg. The main destination for the photography was the building of the Ministry for Urban Development and Housing. Unfortunately I plugged in the wrong camera, instead of the Nikon D800 I wanted I grabbed the Nikon D500. But, the building will still be there for a […]
At Döse beach
It was supposed to be NLCs, but unfortunately there was only a slight suspicion. We tried twice at Döser Strand, but the clouds prevented a clear view both times. The first picture was taken on July 3, 2025 at around 11:40 pm. We tried for a while, but the clouds moved in rather than […]
Second NLC this season
Unfortunately I had to miss the last NLC due to heavy clouds. But it worked out last night. At midnight it finally got dark enough for the NLCs to be clearly visible. The display was not as bright, so I was not able to image such high-contrast structures as last year. Here […]
Hoverflies
Friedrich-Clemens-Gerke-Turm
This was already an exceptionally interesting cloud formation in front of the 90% waxing moon. However, I didn’t have time to search for a better location, so I just took a picture in front of the front door.
One day in Hamburg
For some time I wanted to photograph the planetarium. Last Sunday we are among other things therefore early in the morning to Hamburg. Around 9:30 on site were also still enough parking spaces free and few people on the road. Very nice light of the morning sun in the east, perfect. From the above […]
Perseids
In the night from Saturday August 12th to Sunday August 13th this year was the Perseids peak. The weather was actually the whole week before not inviting. On Saturday, on top of that, it was also completely rainy and very gloomy with dense clouds in the sky. However, almost all weather apps agreed that it […]
Waxing Moon at 12%
A shot from yesterday evening. Venus was then nevertheless a little far away from the moon, that did not work to get both on the picture (at least with 500mm focal length). Shot with Nikon D500 and Nikkor 500f/5.6 PF; freehand at ISO 100!
