Limmatquai - Zurich
Just a photo
Stadelhofen
Hmmm, another bicycle shot. Maybe I'm getting obsessive...
Bike
Came across this bike in the old town. For the curious, no flash, no special lighting, no fancy photoshop (other than B+W conversion....)
Zurich - Badergasse
As the year progress the sun gets lower, shadows get longer, light gets better. My photographic activity definitely drops off during the summer months.
Cranes
The interest is probably in the details - click the image for the full Monty
Toy Camera
Had to be colour. And Japanese. Japanese girls have a certain style...
Sunday Morning .....

And those pavements need cleaning...
Zurich by the Limmat
The classic view of the Niedordorf side of the Limmat, including the Grossmunster, taken from the Lindenhof
The Blue Rigi
Ok, maybe you can have too much of a good thing... I said my trip to the Rigi provided many photo opportunities, but I guess from this weeks posts it looks like it provided only one, albeit I shifted about a bit.
All these photos were taken with the Pentax K7 by the way, which as a system camera makes life a lot easier than my big Canon if you have to climb 1000 meters
Atmospherics on the Rigi
Walking at the weekend in the foothills of the alps of NE Switzerland. Changing atmospheric conditions (and snow of course) provided plenty of opportunities for getting the camera out.
Portrait - take 2
After Ham at London Daily Photo mentioned the lighting in the previous post, I decided to post the "original". It is on balance a better portrait, because it is more faithful.
Skyscape
I always think that dramatic sky photos are a bit of a facile cop-out. A bit lazy. What could be more available to photographers than the sky. You don't need to know where to find it. On the other hand, they have one defining quality - they are all going to be 100% unique. Nobody can stand in the same place as me at the same time with the same camera/lens configuration. Of course, that is true of a lot of photos, but there is something slightly different about skies. It's a bit like sand sculptures or drawings traced on a beach. This way the camera can cheat the ephemeral nature of some things. Or can it? A photograph of the sky is not the sky.... and the sky is not black and white (at least this one wasn't - people in Scotland might disagree). And of course, I twiddled the dramatic-sky knobs on the computer
