For some of you the 4th of July fireworks are quickly getting closer, so if you may need tips on how to take photos of fireworks, you can download my free ebook about that.
So just click on this link Download Capture fireworks eBook to download it :)
And also feel free to share the book further, on you page, blog, whatever :). It would be nice if you do so, to link back to my blog, but I leave that up to you.
A really long time passed since I added a page to the Top spots category and today is the day I added a new one. This time it Cesky Krumlova and you can see there a list of all the spots I like the most in the city. There again are 5 spots for you, and this time, also a suggested path, how I think is the best way to hit all of them in one go :)
You can check the list here Top 5 photography spots in Cesky Krumlov and here is my favorite photo I took there.
And don’t forget to check all the other lists :)
Cesky Krumlov is a wonderful place for a photographer to visit. Many great views of the city, all within a few minutes walking distance from each other. So in this list, lets look at the spots I liked the most while being there.

Also, if you would prefer to have a photographer guide in Cesky Krumlov, you can check out Johnny from Johnny’s Prague Photo tours, who now also offers tours in Cesky Krumlov. More about that on his website here.
This platform gives you just the best view of the city center. It’s especially great for when you are trying to take a panorama shot. There is one problem with this location though, that it is closed at night. So you can get there from around 7 in the morning to sometime in the afternoon (I don’t remember there being opening times written on the door). The entry is free, and of course, you can use your tripod there.
This spot will be probably the first you visit as is right at the entrance to the center of the city. It gives a very nice view of the castle, and from what I have seen, they don’t close the gate to this place even at night. Be ready for it to be quite filled with tourists.
A really adequately named street, as to get there you have to go up the stairs from the city center. The view of the city, and especially of the cathedral in the middle is nice from here, just have a higher tripod, as there are bushes here and there in the way.
Right when you are entering the center of the city, you will see a small parking area on the right side, that looks like its private and off limits. But it isn’t. Just go there, and you will even find benches under the trees. It gives another very nice view of the castle and the rivers bend.
Another very nice view of the city center, with one big problem. The problem are the very strong flood lights that you get right in your face. So if you want to get a photo from here, either do it during the day, or do as I did, include more of the bridge. Like this you will hide from the lights.
All these spots are very close to each other, and you can actually create a path between them, going from the 4th, through the 2nd, 5th, 1st and end on the 3rd.
The whole path is only around 2km.
Thats all for this list, don’t forget to check out all the other ones :)

You may have noticed, that a lot of my recent photos (almost all of them) are mostly blue hour and night shots. I’m not that happy about that, but thats what my luck with weather was recently. It is either crazy sunny, or raining. And in those cases I can only take shots in the evening. But a little more diversity would be nice.
Todays photo is of the Liberty bridge in Budapest. This is a HDR from 4 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.
