Zurich, in the Toni Areal
We went out for a little shooting today, it was sunny when we left, and was dark and rainy 3 hours later. The Toni Areal is the area where the Zurich Academy of Arts is located. It used to be a milk factory, now it’s a cultural centre, with libraries, museum, restaurants and student life.…

Chatzensee, Nikon Z7 II and red kites
On Christmas Eve, we wanted to get out for an hour or so, and went to Chatzensee again. By the time we got there, the weather turned grey and threatened to rain soon, so we only went for an hour long stroll. We saw som Red Kites (Rotmilan) flying by, and as ususal, dark bird…

Zurich, at a rainy pre XMas afternoon
We needed to get out of the house, so we took the bus to downtown Zurich and walked around for 2 hours. It is 2 days before Christmas, and the shops are decorated as ususal. The only thing different is that all the restaurants are closed (starting today we have harder lockdown rules again). It…

Leaving Fuji
I have been a commited Fuji shooter since 2013. I used to use Canon, until the 5D Mark II, and finally the package got to heavy for me. I remember the day when it hit me, I was visiting New York City on buisiness, and I brought one extra backpack – just for the Camera. Fuji,…

FLM CT-43 FTR II
Due to system change, and the desire to take better wildlife photography, was looking to upgrade my tripod head. I have several tripods, most of them have the Siriu default heads. And then there is the peak design travel pod with it’s own unique head.They have their benefits, they are light, beside the main one,…

Nikon Z7 II and CaptureOne 20/21
CaptureOne does not support the new Nikon cameras, neither the Z6 II, nor the, just yesterday released, Z7 II. With Adobe releasing the new DNG Converter, there is (outside of the exif change hack – which i assume is exactly what Adobe did in the converter – treat the Z7 II as the Z7, they…
