Hi,

Recently I moved to Zurich, Switzerland.
I am doing my master's degree in physics here, at ETH Zurich.
Here are couple of my first shots of Zurich.
I thought that there will be more Photoclub Alpha members in Zurich, to meet and talk.

Very picturesque Aram I like that last one especially.

Looks very nice indeed
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Aram,

Pretty nice weather in Zurich and good light. I like the last as well as the swan shot the best..

Don't forget to send shots of the variable weather shots of Switzerland from time to time; snow; rain; the lakes and the mountains...

Fabulous shots Aram - I especially like the Swan. I hope you enjoy Zurich - should be a great place for mountain shots in the snow .

I've been to Zurich, once. It was at night, all I had was a Canon PowerShot with me, and all I did was change trains in the station. That's three mistakes I'll have to correct when I go there next!

Very nice shots crisp. Zurich looks pretty clean as well!

Two more pictures from Zurich. At this time in the night.
I'd be happy about criticism towards my photographs, so I can learn and develop.

Good first three pictures! My opinion is that the swan would be much better (it is still good!) if it was photographed from a lower perspective.

Hi Aram - very interesting night scenes in Zurich. In the first there is some detail in the sky - it would be nice to see it more clearly, although I'm not sure how you would achieve this .

I'm not really a night scene expert myself Aram but they look the part too me. Maybe the last one has a slight lean too the left perhaps, but I like all the reflections in the water, and as Birma said there is a bright sky object visible in the first one, maybe it's Jupiter, I saw Jupiter quite bright in the sky here last night after sundown.

Seconded.

I agree with that, but the problem was that beyond the swam there where other birds and other things, so if I would go down a bit, they would be visible, so this was the best angle to get the swam alone.

Welcome back Doc. I was thinking why you r not here, then remembered that you should have got your new camera. )))
Waiting for your impressions

That bright dot over the tower is a star.
So I took adjustment brush in LR and increased its exposure by 4EV.
But I noticed a weird thing with LR. In the picture in LR you can see 5 stars. After adjustment brush in Library module I could see all 5 without zooming, however in Develop module I could see only 2 of them, unless I zoom in to 1:1 view. So in Library module I can see more details than in develop module. Did anyone have same kind of problems?

Hi Aram - could it be something to do with the Library module using the jpg embedded in the Raw, and develop using the actual Raw image? Just a guess
