It was quite a windy day, but this place was shielded enough, that I could get such a nice clear reflection. I spend here only a very short while, as I was on my way to the Charles bridge. And as you have already seen the shots from the tower, I think it was worth it :)
I regularly post my photos on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/hdrshooter and very often I include more. These are before/after comparisons (not the same ones as on the blog), screenshots from Photomatix, Photoshop and other tools I use (showing how I edited my photos) and more. So if you like my photos, feel free to join my page :).
Can there be so much color in one city? I think it can :) This was taken right around the time the sun hid behind the horizon, so it gave the whole city a more blue/purple color. It looked really great
One of very good working composition rules is leading lines. That means that you should have lines in your photo, which lead to the main subject. And I think the Charles bridge in this photo works very nicely as a leading line. It just draws your eyes towards the Prague castle in the distance.
I haven’t taken many portrait oriented shots lately. They can give you a great view of a subject, but they are just not fit onto a horizontally oriented screen. But from time to time they are fine :)
Almost all my photos have a blue sky, so I’m really happy to have something really different :) It was very nice to see the sun, as it was cold on the top of the tower, and at least I could imagine the heat from the sun.
I vent with 11 brackets here, as It was taken while looking directly into the sun, and I wanted the sun in the shot, not just a big overexposed area. I left the sun also quite saturated, as that’s what I see the sun is, a big orange ball. Also I forgot to add a before/after comparison for a longer time, so today there is one :)
Shooting photos by water is just great. You get all those nice light, and reflections, which give your photo a very interesting look. The only drawback is, then when the temperature drops, it’s even colder there. And when I took this photo, the temperature dropped to around 0 degrees, which I really felt on my fingers.
