Sunset
There weren’t many opportunities to actually go out and shoot the sunsets in Germany. Because of the timeline, and trying very hard to see as much as possible, sunsets were put on the back burner… Until that day. The sky looked promising, so we decided to visit a park close to the Zeppelin Field for a try at a sunset over a little lake there. Quite a nice place for a sunset, and don’t have to drive far. Actually there a few of these quiet places in Nuremberg. Wished I could have stayed longer.
Gear
2 lenses, 2 cameras. Namely Fuji X-Pro1 with Fuji 10-24mm f4 lens, and Fuji XT1 with 56mm f1.2. I really like shooting with the 10-24mm lens. It’s sharp all around, and the view through it, is perfect for landscapes. What I really love is the Fuji 56mm f1.2. There has been a lot of praise for that lens on the internet, and I can add my own voice to that praise. It has to be my favourite lens to shoot with. I used it for street photography, architecture, and now for landscapes. Very versatile, and wonderful piece of gear.
You and me and all, that was fun I have to say….
[…] It has finally come to this. Last in day in Nuremberg, and my good friend from Hooked on Europe decided that it would be good to go out on the streets again, and try some fuji night shooting. We started off early, before the sun went down. Which allowed me to catch some images with the golden light of the setting sun. Nice long shadows, beautiful colors, great pictures. It was a great finish to a wonderful day spent in the quiet atmosphere of the Altenburg Castle, then wondering the old streets of Bamberg. Luckily I was leaving in the afternoon the next day, so I had time to go and spend the evening in great company, taking pictures of this beautiful city of Nuremberg. […]
