It’s hot in Nuremberg, really really hot. So hot that this morning I decided to ditch my original plan to go shooting in the city. I did a bit of running in woods behind the house and then….nothing. As I have my “Around the world in 12 days” business trip coming up Tuesday I actually enjoy a bit of downtime. Summer vacation is still 6 weeks away. Not that we don’t have some refreshing seawater in Nuremberg. I’d just need to go to the Zoo. This would be really nice right now, taking a swim with our Dolphins in the beautiful open air lagoon that opened a few years ago.
The photos were taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M1 with the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F/4-5.6 Zoom. Shooting at the far end of the zoom range I dialed in 1/1250 sec shutter speed to make sure I get sharp shots of the ever fast-moving dolphins. For both images the Oly selected the largest available aperture, f/5.6 at the tele end of the zoom. Auto ISO gave me 1000 for the first photo and 1250 for the image below. Not great, but acceptable. I shot with center point autofocus (most reliable in this situations) in burst mode (increases your chance to get a good image when the subjects move fast).
Have a great weekend!

Happy Mayday from the Streets of Nuremberg
I hope that it’s cooled down some! We’ve had some unseasonably hot days here as well. I love dolphins. Great shots Marcus. 🙂
Actually my wife told me it supercooled this past week down into the 60’s, but seemingly now the Summer has returned to Nuremberg.
Great captures.
Thanks 😊🙏!!
We have had three really hot days, but I am not going to moan, its lovely. Love the tail shoot, and yes they cool you down at a glance 🙂 Lynne
Thanks, Lynne 🙂 ! Marcus
Stay cool there! Las Vegas had 116 again yesterday, and 113 on tap for today. The AC is going to work hard again!
Ok, I get it, I’m being a whimp here….But then, the concept of air conditioning isn’t known in Germany 😉
No, not a wimp at all. Heat is heat. Humidity augments it. No AC?
Air conditioning isn’t really a thing in Europe… more heating
True, for those ten days that are hot 😉
Haha HA yes !
No AC, neither at home nor in the office….it’s supposed to cool down tonight anyway….
Nice and cool, Marcus! Beautiful action shots.
Sending you a cooling breeze from Norway. 🙂
Thanks, Dina, much appreciated :-), also the breeze 😉
