Landscape Pictures
More glacier/alpine scenery from my honeymoon trip…
The above shot was also taken through glass during my lunch break on Jungfraujoch. Given the freezing cold temperatures outside, I was lucky to have caught this from the comfort of the cafe while having a hot meal of sausages and pasta :P. I am happy not to have caught any reflections off the glass. The glass hasn’t really affected the sharpness much too (thankfully).
We’re back from our honeymoon!
As we adjust back to Singapore time, here are some new images from our trip to share with you. This is one of my favourite and was taken from Jungfraujoch, or the “Top Of Europe” as it is known in tourist literature (most likely a misnomer since there are higher peaks in the Swiss Alps). Jungfraujoch hosts the Jungfraubahn, which at an elevation of 3,454 metres, is the highest railway station in Europe. The outdoors was at a freezing minus 7 degrees Celsius! I was lucky to be taking this from the comfort of our cafeteria while taking lunch. Putting the lens flush to the window did help to minimise any reflections. The use of a polarising filter helped to deepen the colour of the sky dramatically.
Updated: Please take a look at my comment for a short “making-of” description of this picture.
With the haze and all of late in Singapore, there hasn’t been much chances for me to go out and take some nice pictures. More updates should come after my honeymoon in December 🙂
In the meantime, here’s another image of Ceromo Lawang that I like very much from my Bromo trip.
