Typical Zurich Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello everyone!
This is my first picture from Zurich-Switzerland! I recently moved from Athens-Greece to Zurich, and am looking forward to share with you a number of images from this beautiful city!
In my first shot,you can see a typical Swiss image - A tram crossing the well-known Bahnhofstrasse! Image was created with HDR method, as a result of 4 subsequent images, with different light-settings!
I hope you´ll like it!

Hi Georgia!

Beautiful atmosphere! The moody weather and the vivid blue of the Tram make this image unique!
Well Done!

Hello Georgia
Well hope you like Zürich and you have shot here a typical street scene featuring old tram model, but I'm sorry to say the quality of your hdr is terrible and really ruined the photo. I don't have the URLs in mind but there are a variety of tutorials on the web that can give you good help for a start, viel Erfolg !
Have a nice day JY

Hello Georgia,
good try with this technic, but it definitely is not up to par. The huge halos around the buildings and the translucid and pixellised moving bodies and train are not very good. I'm really not a pro of HDR. I only did a couple of tries yet, but my opinion is that it does not work so well with moving objects. My guess wold be that it would work better with a single exposition shot in RAW. Then you can decompose this single raw shot into 3 different expositions (one just about right, one that is 2 stops overexposed and one that is 2 stops underexposed). Then you can do a HDR with it and the moving objects won't have the apparence they have here.
You will do better next time!!:D
see you!
