Hello Barbara,
I have been many times to Lucerne and everytime i visited the old Chapel bridge, but seeing it this way is really awesome. Never seen it like this, even not on postcards. So hurry, and sell the picture to a publisher.
Great shot...wish i good take such ones.
Regards, Henk

Hi Barbara
Even from the thumbnail I immediately recognised this as Luzern, just by the diagonal bridge... and what a fantastic aerial view! The river is a stunning colour and adds a lot to the overall impact of the image, and there's so much detail to be seen. An remarkable shot!

Hello Barbara,
This photo from above imediately remembers me of Yann Arhtus-Bertrand and his traveling exhibition the Earth from above.
The view is very nice where you can see the differences between townplanning in the old and the new parts of the city very well. A good compo and very nice colors.
Well done!
Harko

Hi Barbara
Great view of Lucerne. I love the colour of the water and the way the famous bridge stands out. The boat's a nice addition too. You were lucky to get such a close aerial view.
I'll tell you a funny story. An Australian was supposed to visit the agency where I work in Lausanne and phoned from the taxi he was in saying the taxi driver couldn't find us. The guy was in Lucerne instead of Lausanne :-)
Regards
Nikki

Hi Barbara,
I remembered your earlier aerial shots from Luzern, and checked them again. This one has better quality with no visible grain. This also gives a good idea of the old town. Good shot of a lovely place. Could be rotated a little clockwise to get vertical lines upright.

Ciao Barbara, I recognized the "Wasserturm" already through the thumbnail. What a glorious, wonderful lucerne shot. How on earth, or shall I say sky, do you dare to say that you're flying up there and don't know what you're doing with your camera? You know it very well and this shot is the best proof for that. I wish I would have a pilot for me too ...
Most beautiful!!!

Hi Barbara,

I like since you have caught this image from a high point of view, it is a form different to show this beautiful city, the composition is good, I like the result of your work, thanks to share.

Regards
José

Nice composition, Barbara--not easy to do from an airplane! It's very vivid and sharp, too--no haze that day, I guess. It's good to have a new angle on things! Regards, Ken.

From this shot it certainly does look like you know what you were doing Barbara - at least as far as the composition is concerned. The sweep of the river from the top to the right, with a Kappeler bridge a little off-centre, makes this feels nicely balanced. On the technical side, this could be a little sharper. I can't tell whether it is because you haven't applied enough sharpneing in PP, or whether there was a little bit of camer amovement shooitng this from your Cessna. If you think it was the latter, try a faster shutter speed - opening the aperture one or two stops is not going to make any difference because you don't need to worry about DOF at that height provided your focus is spot-on. Cheers . . . David

Hello Barbara,

Aerial photos by and large are not that impressive, but when the conditions are right, they can be spectacular. This is one of those times, where the results are quite spectacular. Your highly informative note is a lesson in geography and a slice of history. I had one unique adventure with a camera, flying on Lufthansa lat year that may interest you. I don't know if it has been done before on Trekearth, but unfortunately this service has been discontinued.

Warm regards and have a good weekend,

Bulent

ah, Lucerne, one of my favourite places in Switzerland (together with mount Pilatus, where you can get ice cold beer at the summit). fanatstic view on this beautiful place, the green water nicely contrasts with the brown roofs. everything is just where it should be in the frame - the curve of the river slightly off center, the bridge and the ship in the lower right corner. really nice work, Barbara, it's a pleasure to look at.

with kind regards,
Kristine

A very nice view of Lucerne. The green colour of the river is very nice. I have visited Kappeler bridge but not from the sky, where it takes another dimension ...
