Feb 4, 2015 at 7:17 comment added Remke Kloosterman Consider the period domain for the elliptic surfaces you are interested in. Then the set of points corresponding with elliptic surfaces with maximal Picard number is a countable set. Take now a one-dimensional family of elliptic surfaces, which, as a family of elliptic surfaces, is not isotrivial. Then this yields a curve in the period domain and this curve has to hit a point which corresponds to an elliptic surface with non-maximal Picard number
Feb 4, 2015 at 5:27 comment added jmc Remke — Thanks for your answer. In the end it was easier then I thought. The only part that I do not really understand is the last sentence. Could you expand a bit on why the period map is locally an isomorphism?
