Switzerland - Summer 2012

[Dancook]

I took about 1300 photos in Switzerland, it's going to take me a while to go through them all..

I've started though, and I've already uploaded this one.. just loving the sky

We had just walked up some steep climbs to get this far, and my legs were starting to give up on me..

Here's one from Stocklii which is the small 'village?' where we stayed, again emphasizing on the sky ..

This is the church in Stocklii, took a lot of shots of it - it was difficult to get a good angle on it - but this is my favourite so far.

Just out of interest, did you just use the 35mm lens(that's what I think you have looking at the EXIF though I could be wrong)? Would have been great to see some Pano's with a Wide Angle lens..

 

[Dancook]

Thanks guys!

Just the 35mm, a wide angle lens would have been great - if you would like to make a donation I'll forward you my account details

Well.. I had the money ready for your lens but the Robin Hood from the HMRC came and stole it from me... so your money is with him... make sure to take it from there..

We ventured out to Bern on Monday... the river Aare is beautiful!

No one was swimming in it today, but check out this BBC link

There's a lot of fountains / watering holes in Switzerland - he's a particularly nice one.

I took this through the window of a moving train, there's a few reflections -but I still quite like it.

Cheers Darren..

Here's one I do like, but I missed the focus - but not so much that you can tell easily on the LCD on the camera - doh

I didn't have a tripod with me, and I failed a lot of shots taking photos of water at 1/20 or below ..

A monopod would have helped and doubled up as a hiking pole
