Musician on Karl’s Bridge

A lot of people (me including) say that you should never do a HDR shot of a person. But from time to time, it’s good to try it :). I took three shots, but the alinement’s was not possible. So I did a single exposure HDR, mostly to lighten his face (as it was in a shadow) and add more texture to the whole photo. I also decided to go with a B&W here, to give it a more “pencil drawn” look and to make it even more about the different textures.

This photo was taken at the Karl’s Bridge in Prague.

Down to the city

Looks like I spoke too soon :) Looks like few day shots from Prague are usable. This one I took the first morning there. I was on my way down to the city center and the street created this nice vanishing point. I took this shot handheld, but as it was a very sunny day, the shots were very fast and they aligned nicely.

Ghosts on the Karl’s Bridge

I think all published photos from Prague, will be night ones :). Really nothing that good from the day. So here is one from Karl’s bridge :)

Ships on Vltava

Had no time to edit new photos the last few days, so I’m quite glad, I always have a few in reserve :) So here is another one taken at night in Prague :)

Where did you parked?

I love reflections :) I said it already so many times and I will say it again :). And if I see a reflection, I have to take a photo :) So here is one from the center of Prague, taken sometime late at night :)
