Here comes the picture gallery behind the Happy New Year 2015 post. We visited the northern part of the Carretera Austral (Ruta 7) between Christmas and New Year. We spent most of our time in the Pumalín Park, a private natural sanctuary founded by Douglas Tompkins.

Happy New Year 2015
We wish you all the best for a Happy New Year!
New gallery Autumn Colours released
The plan was to drive South to look for autumn colours. Problem was, the first week of May is generally considered to be too early for that. But we had no choice. After an overnight stop at Ruedi’s Viña Chillán we arrived to our first destination, the natural reserve Huilo Huilo where we stayed at the spectacular Nothofagus hotel.

New picture gallery from Spitsbergen (Svalbard) published

First test shots posted
I just uploaded a gallery with test shots taken with the new AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens in the nearby Parque Bicentenario on sunny Sunday morning. The lens is heavy but easy to handle on the monopod for example for animal shots. The speed and image quality are outstanding – as expected. The […]
AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II has arrived
My new Nikon lens has eventually arrived from Germany. It was really hard to get – only very few shops in the world offer it at all. The AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II is reported to be an outstanding tele lens. My first tests confirmed the excellent image quality from the centre out to […]
