While in Prague I was quite tired from the Dresden trip (driving through the night and arriving at half three makes one tired :)), but at least one day I got up for a little morning photo shooting. Still getting up at 4 in the morning is not so easy, but I managed somehow. One would think that the trams would be empty at such an hour, but to mi surprise, they were packed full.

I made a little walk around the castle and the Charles bridge and got few shots. It’s so nice to have the area just for yourself, which is just not possible during the day.

I’m including few behind the camera shots, which I posted on FB during that day. Btw. I’m creating the multi-image frames in an android app called PhotoFrame. It really is nice and very easy to use.

This is a manual blend from 5 shots, taken in front of the Prague Castle. You can see here the Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk statue. He was the first president of Czechoslovakia.

As I was in Prague, there will also be some new Prague photos. I visited only few locations, but got some nice photos. The photo I’m posting today was taken from the Vysehrad area. That is a very nice church placed on top of a hill. It’s quite far away from the Prague castle, but with a nice 200mm lens you can zoom in for a good view :)

This is a manual blend from 5 shots. I hope the colors look good, as the photo looks differently on every screen I checked it.

I just made my plans for August. 5 days of taking photos in Prague and 5 days of taking photos in Budapest. There always what to take of photos in Prague, and same goes for Budapest. And my trip to Budapest is during St. Stephen’s Day, which is a national holiday there and it ends in big fireworks above the city. Can’t wait to have some photos of them :)

But for today, here is another photo of the Prague castle

This is a manual blend from 5 shots.

What should one do when one went to the city to shoot the sunrise and it rained? Go into the metro and take photos there :) Prague metro around 5:30 is nice and empty and you can take as many shots as you want. During the morning shoot I took this photo I actually visited three different metro station in under 30 minutes. Just always took few photos and moved to the next stop.

This is a manual blend from 5 exposures, taken at the Náměstí Republiky metro stop in Prague.

I posted a lot of photos of the Prague castle as viewed from the city, but this time this is a view from the Petrin tower. The tower gives a really great view of Prague, and you even can use a tripod :)

This is a panorama from 2 photos, each one from 5 exposures.
