Hi Folks..

Lots of pages to get thru.. I shall slowly..

We travelled 5 hours from Zurich to the Bernese Oberland. We arrived in Murren after 4 train changes and a cable car ride.

We got of the small train and Ayesha wondered if we were in the right place as the train moved out!!


We started walking towards what we thought was our hotel..


But why go to all this trouble in such weather and take this long trip..

Because, as I have said previously, It Is There...The Eiger that is..3900 mts.
of magnificent rock and snow...


We had come to see the rock face of the Eiger. To face our fears and enjoy
it magnificence.

Rayran... welcome back!! Lovely stuff. Can't wait for the rest!

Matt, that 28-300 is impressive! Or the guys behind the lens is!

I am embarrassed to say I didn't know there was an analog section. I'll have a look!

Not necessarily. Do what I did; buy a second-hand Nikon bellows and slide-holder combo (for 35mm slides and negs. It's tripod time for M/F) for a few pennies on eBay, saw off the length to suit and attach it to your D700 with a Micro Nikkor 55. Point at window, shoot RAW and voilá - perfect scans.

Wow, that's a tip!
Would be worth a video tutorial though for those (like... well, myself :eek:) with 2 left feet in lieu of hands.

For example, how do you determine which length has to be cut out? :confused:




Steve: thanks -just a snap of toys left to rust in a farm nearby where they sell their production, produce, meat. They were clearly looking at me thinking i was certifiable, so i didn't dare to take the real Eggleston setup.

Hey, these guys saw it all, and much more, in just one hour.
Guess that over the last 9 centuries, they would have quite some stories to tell...

Corlan: beautifully photographed and narrated. I like the comments from the last one. Isn't it wonderful watching people going through places of worship
in awe and admiration. As students of religion or history.

You have captured the atmosphere and the diversity in such places very well Corlan.:salute::salute:

The hour by the cathedral was well over that afternoon... on the way back home though, driving the small country roads i still got one last shot.

Guess i'm not used anymore to hang around too many people for too long, and noticing that lone tall tree from a distance offered another perspective. Had to walk in the freshly harvested fields for nearly 30 minutes to get the right angle, but enjoyed the ambient serenity, and silence.
Last shot of the day then...

The last shot Corlan, but arguably the best of the series. Super work here.:thumbup::thumbup:

1909 Looff carousel.
"The Looff Carrousel is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the most beautiful and well preserved hand-carved wooden carrousels still in existence. Spokane's Looff Carrousel features 54 horses, 1 giraffe, 1 tiger, and 2 Chinese dragon chairs."

Cheers, Matt

Corlan: An updated, more modern, version of the tricycle shot. Higher angle; different pp; european background. Nice! Especially like the mud. :thumbup:
