Great review and shots of the places u went.
Lucerne is a nice place, very peaceful and the environment is surreal.

Thanks for the compliment.

Everything so slow pace & relax compare to SG. I am walking alone in the street but dun
feel like being watch.

#47 You can find a lot of bicycles for rent around Paris.

#48 An antique traffic light?

#49 Seine River. Did try the river cruise during the evening but the city was like very foggy
during our trip, can't even see the top of the Eiffel Tower.

#50 One of the many cafe around Paris. This was taken while walking toward Notre Dame Cathedral.

#51 Notre Dame Cathedral from opposite Seine River. Did not manage to go up the cathedral
like many others do as the queue was very long that time and the sky already dark.

#52 & #53 Some statue around Paris. Lille, one of the eigth statue represent each city in
different corner of France. Charlemagne Et Ses Levdes but I dun understand a bit of French?

 

[kohhy6]

#54 Paris Musee de Louvre. The panaromic view of the famous glass pyramid but I didn't pay
Monalisa a visit as she was busy with some guest...hehe.

It look a bit ugly to me, maybe I cover too much ground in the foreground?:dunno:
This will the last picture from Paris.

Thanks for the compliment!

First of all you need to keep yourself warmth, Jan is the deep winter, should be quite cold by then.

If you are on a group tour, god bless you! Haha...!

Ok, back to the topic. You must know what lens and capability the lens have. Then consider
what you are going to shoot, eg..potrait of your loves one with some landscape in it or purely
landscape? Then you decide which lens to bring along.

The place you will be visiting might be different from mine, say Italy....mostly visiting to the
museums or churches I suppose, you probably need a UWA lens for that. And mind you,
certain part of Europe (London:dunno, it is against the law to shoot people without
consent at certain places. Correct me if I am wrong.

For my trip, I bring along 16-35mm, 50mm & 70-200mm but the last one was the least to use.
Hope this will help.

Thanks for the advise, i'm planning to bring 10-22mm UWA and 18-135mm kit lens. i think would be shooting like loves one with some landscape, what u think? i'm also bringing my tripod, should i bring the external flash?

Leaving on 3rd Feb, hope not too cold by then. Wonder if there's any sunshine by then?

You sure you want to join that tour company I join? No need PM you, it was FiXX Stars Travel.:thumbsd:

Thanks for the compliment! The whole day the sky look dull and gloomy, so have to make do
with whatever that is available for me to shoot.

If you travel on your own, the kit you mention will be sufficient but minus the flash, you won't
need that. If you travel with group tour, minus the tripod and flash, no chance to use, it only
increase your burden.

Me also first time travel to Europe, so not too sure about the weather by then, probably
need to monitor the forecast on the internet when the date draw near.

3rd Feb? Skipping town to save angpau money, eh?

Europe, can't really tell the difference.

#59 & #60 Some street shot while walking around Brussel.

#61 This little kid trying to give "Van Gogh" a scare but end up puzzling himself whether this
is a real "Van Gogh" or a fake one?

 

[kohhy6]

#62 Grand-Place de Bruxelles is a remarkably buildings, dating mainly from the late 17th century.

#63 Another angle of the Grand-Place.
