| Geneva, Switzerland |
Switzerland was a country which I had always been fascinated about - the blend of Italian, German and French is truly intriguing. Geneva, itself, is located right beside Europe's largest Alpine lake. I knew that there would be fantastic photo opportunities in the place itself and here I am!
This photo was taken at St Peter's Cathedral, a cathedral with gothic along with ancient architecture and an attic that leads to the northern and southern towers which provides fantastic views over the city. As the cathedral is located on top of a hill, it is a photographer's dream to take panoramic photos of the city here.
The photo above was taken using a Canon IXUS 230 at the Southern Tower, which provides a direct view of the lake. As it was a beautiful day with blue skies and sun when I visited, I only needed to use ISO100 as my camera setting. A lower aperture of f/9 was used so that the camera could capture the landscape photography and to give me depth and sharpness across the photo. This was used in conjunction with a 1/200s shutter speed.
The Cathedral is located in the Old Town which also has the Town Hall in which the League of Nations and the Red Cross was founded. History buffs will definitely be engrossed in the deep and long lasting history provided by this photogenic city.
