View from the Beilstein
In search for a beautiful landscape/nature location for a spring photo tour, my girlfriend Michaela and I decided to go on a hiking trip to the Beilstein (802 meters) in Upper Austria.

Light and clouds at the Almsee

Last Sunday my girlfriend Michaela and I went for a walk on the Reinberg near Wels. It was a grey winter day but nonetheless I took my Nikon D750 with me. And for even more challenge, I mounted the Tamron SP 150-600 F5-6.3 on the camera for practicing handheld use. I didn’t expect much on this day in…
Nikon D750 – An all-around full-frame camera
This blogpost is about my Nikon D750, which is a very versatile full-frame camera for many occasions. I bought it as replacement for my Nikon D610. It is not really a successor of the old D700 but rather a better and more capable version of the D6x0 series. In this blogpost I want to talk…
