Travel Snapshot
There are so many photography opportunities one can find in Switzerland. The air is extremely fresh, the sky is super clear with bright sunlight, the water is so clean in everywhere that I can almost see through the lake to its bottom! Mountains, greenery, lakes and rivers are the most dominant elements that can be seen everywhere in Switzerland.
Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-105mm lens. Shutter speed 1/320sec and Aperture f9. Focus distance was set to 28mm. ISO 100. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and -1/3 stops of exposure being compensated with Matrix metering.
I’ve been to a few Swiss cities last month. Among others, Lucerne is definitely my favourite city in Switzerland. Here is one of my photos taken from the quay of Lucerne overlooking the grand view of Lake Lucerne and infamous architecture.
Hope you like it!

I love sunburst. Whenever I have got the chance, with the sun slightly on top of me with some angle with my subject underneath and in front of me, I would stop down the Aperture of my camera and start shooting for a sunburst effect. Though camera’s light metering don’t always get the exposure right on the first attempt, a few adjustments will get you what you want.
Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-105mm lens. Shutter speed 1/160sec and Aperture f20. Focus distance was set to 18mm. ISO 100. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and -1/3 stops of exposure being compensated with Matrix metering. Stop down to smaller Aperture to capture sunburst and compensate exposure to capture deep blue sky.
This shot was taken on Jungfraujoch “Top of Europe”, overseeing Jungfrau glacier summit, the highest summit in the Bermese Alps of Switzerland with an altitude of 4158m. I was lucky to have Nikon D7000 with me at that moment which captured the sunburst perfectly as how I expected it to be with my first attempt. D7000′s exposure metering with its 2,016 RGB sensor had again done a great job.
However, with that super duper small Aperture of f20, I also realized that my D7000′s image sensor had serious dust problems! I’ll talk about my dirty image sensor next. Come back for that important but easily overlooked camera’s maintenance issue.
After all, I was lucky to have a perfect weather with perfect sunlight and clear sky while traveling in Switzerland, especially on “Top of Europe”. Great natural lighting are always the only most important factor in great travel photography. – Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel blog

What I first think of when people mentioning about Copenhagen is definitely Carlsberg, as how Ireland is being related to Guinness. For me, no Copenhagen travel would be complete without visiting the Carlsberg museum or at least tasting a pint of draught Carlsberg. I took many photos on my recent Europe travel to Copenhagen but [...]
I’m back from my Europe travel MkII! I had a bit of jet lag which is why I’m still writing this post in the middle of the night. Too many photos have been taken, here is one of them that I shot in Berlin, the infamous painting on the longest remaining stretch of Berlin Wall [...]
