In the Spider Tram :)
Ottima qualità e bella ragnatela aerea di cavi, complimenti, doveva essere molto tardi, una sola striscia di auto di passaggio.
Ciao

Hi Stefano
Out in the cold in Geneva. Must try and get some shots from there one day. The quality of the image is impressive especially seeing that you took it after the blue hour. The quality, detail and exposure are all spot on. The electric wires do make an interesting, almost graphic pattern. I also like the light trails too. Great work.

Hi Stefano,
It fascinates me how much installations are needed for trolley and tram wiring with all the curves and crossings. On railways that part is easier I guess.
Good night shot. Yellowish light seem to fit with that stone church. Theres some sawtooth effect on those wires. It's better to use less sharpening on places with diagonal lines.

Hello Stefano
Tu as très bien tiré parti d'un élément à priori dévaforable (les fils electriques)
Très belle gestion de la lumière
Bravo
Amicalement

Hallo Stefano!
This is an unusual and original photo. Besides it's technical qualities it's a really interesting object you show us. Interesting because of the spider's web, which at day wouldn't appear like this. In this way, you do not show "only" a woderful church. Thank yopu for showing!
Greetings from Germany!

Hello Stefano,

Geneva is a city I always have been fond of, and once a time I dreamed of settling there. Perhaps not for those who enjoy too much excitement. It is no wonder that I enjoy these peaceful pictures taken in the city. Ideally there would be not electric wires in this one, but after all it is not so important. I also note that you had a long exposre which shows a passing car.

Have a good Week-end - Izzet

Ciao Stefano,
I've always wanted to take a picture of Notre Dame in Geneva, but I was always bothered by all the tram wires. I think you've found the solution and made these cables part of the composition. It's a good quality night shot and I really like the contraste between the dark sky and the golden light on the church.
Have a nice week-end.
Brigitte
