Destination Prague
As usually each spring, tomorrow I’m leaving for a few days trip to Prague. Prague is so beautiful and gives so many photo opportunities, that I like to return there quite often. So from next week, you can expect again new Prague photos on the blog :)
St Martin’s Church
There is a very nice balcony (I will call it balcony, as I don’t know how to call it :)), right next to this church. It a great place from where to take a photo of the church, it’s just to close to the church. And as the church is quite high, it wont fit into one photo, even if taken at 16mm. So in the end I created a vertorama. And due to how close I was, it created quite a lot of distortions, but due to way it was taken, you can’t really remove it. You would just destroy the photo.
This is manual blend from 10 photos. Taken by the Bullring in Birmingham, UK
Photo categories
Each photo on this page is separated into categories based on the country and city where the photo was taken. So if you like to see more photos from a certain city, just choose it under categories on the bottom right of this page :)
Lamp on the bridge
You can visit any city, but go out before 6am and you will have the streets just for you (the only exception I have seen until now was the Charles bridge in Prague :) ). It’s so nice to have the streets just for yourself. And as the buses already run, you can get some very nice long exposure photos with light streaks. No none in this one, but I will post also those :)
This is a manual blend from 5 shots. Taken by the Westminster bridge in London.

Where was this photo taken?
Every-time I post a photo, I also include a small map, which shows the location from where the photo was taken. So if you want to take a similar photo you can look at it. To view the map, you have to open the post with the photo you are interested in. To do this just click on the post name, or click on “read more” under the photo. The map will be shown under the photo. To view the map bigger, just click on the Google logo, and it will open the map in new window, centered on the photo spot.
The Scott Monument
I always thought that it was called the Scottish monument, just when I researched photo spots in Edinburgh I found out I was wrong. But it could be called the Scottish monument, as it really of of those things that you immediately notice when you are there :) I took this photo quite late in the evening, and as I was waiting for the shots to be taken a girl passed behind me and said “That will be a nice photo” and continued walking. And I have to agree with her :)
