Kaiserpokal September 2020

UPDATE: full gallery online here: https://soeren.zenfolio.com/kaiserpokal20 Der Kaiserpokal des BYC im September ist ja immer für spektakuläre Bedingungen gut. Die Klassikerregatta im frühen Herbst hatte meist gute bis herrliche Bedingungen in den letzten Jahren und dieses Jahr ist keine Ausnahme. Normalerweise ist eine Vorhersage von 3-6Bf in Berlin eher eine Wette, dass es ggf. mehr als 3Bf werden, aber keine...

The Near Infrared Adventure

Some shots with the IR converted Nikon D800. The conversion was done by lifepixel.com and the D800 came in right within the Corona lockdown time window – right in time to do some tests and to find out how to handle the NIR Raw files.

Grading Images – Capture One, Lightroom Classic and what Wacom has all to do with it …

Corona Contemplations In winter I usually try to find some time to concentrate on some creative unpaid projects that I started in summer capturing images but where I didnt manage to get the post processing and image grading or stitching or overlays done at all. So I usually have some raw jewels sitting in my archive that I have to...

Tschernobyl comes to mind or the 9-11 terror attack – maybe the Tsunami/Fukushima disaster in Japan or the financial crisis in 2008 but this time with the Corona outbreak its a global disaster with more secondary effects on all dimensions of...

L-Plates – the power of precision

There are lots of different L-Plate manufacturers out there but only few create L-Plates designed for specific cameras/lenses. The real advantage of having L-Plates that were designed to work for a specific piece of gear is that these plates just can be seated on the body/lens as if they where designed by the lens/camera-body manufacturer. In fact the lens plate...
