Sometimes you just hope for an interesting sky, and sometime you get it. This was a complete surprise. Few moments before this clouds appeared, the sky was almost completely clear. I took this from the top of the Old town hall tower in Prague. I also wanted to zoom in more on the castle, but as I currently don’t have a telephoto lens for my 5D, I stuck with wide angle shots. Btw. the clousds are not HDR, there are completly from one of the exposures :)
This is a small museum inside the Charles bridge tower. And this is actually the only photo I took there. I was there after sunset, and the sky was so nice, that I went directly to the top of the tower, not spending time here. I actually just took it so I have at least one new interior shot from Prague, as I had no luck in the St. Vitus cathedral, where I was just too slow preparing my tripod. Maybe next time :)
Of course I had to go up the Old town hall tower in Prague. As the Easter market was in the square, I wanted to have a nice overview photo of the square. It was raining during the day, so the nice clouds in the evening were a great surprise.
I scratched my tripod a little while taking photos there. There were more people as I expected so I had to put it really close to the walls and railing. At one moment one of the legs got loose, which was really not good, as I lost the tightening “thingy” for my tripod maybe a week after I bought it. But it went better as expected, as I collapsed the loose leg and place it on the railing.
A bridge and a reflection. Two most common elements in my photos. This time it’s of the National Theatre Opera in Prague and the Bridge of Legions.
This was taken last Friday. It was quite fogy the whole day, so I decided to skip taking shots during the day, and instead focus on night photography. I actually set the white balance on my camera to the coolest option, and the photos still came out yellow. So I decided to let it be. And actually as I was standing there, the whole street looked really yellow, so it it quite realistic :)
Just about a hour ago I returned from Prague. I have to say, the weather was horrible. I think I went through all the four seasons in two days. It was raining, overcast, heavy fog, sunny, cloudy, windy, clear sky and for a while it was also snowing. The weather really changed each hour. One god thing though, booth days the sunset was just stunning. In the end, I slept through the day, and took most of the photos in the evening. And I think a lot of them will be very nice :) So here is the first one:
I just can’t resist going to the top of any tower I see. This time it was the tower of the Charles Bridge in Prague. For a while I was alone there, as there is no elevator, and only few tourists want to go up the stairs. I suggest to look at the bigger version of this photo. There is just so much in it.
