Colors of Vltava

There are so many colors in this one. The bottom part almost looks like it was drawn in photoshop :) (I used to do a similar effect in my abstract images). So this is another one from Prague, again taken late at night.

Flickr Explore

Finally after more than a year on Flickr, one of my photos got into their Explore selection :). The photo County Session House reached #173 on April 25 :)

Modern Colosseum

This stadium is big, really big :). This is the Strahov stadium in Prague. I really would like to see how they did the COKY! graffiti on it, as it’s quite hight :)

St. Vitus Cathedral reflection

Next one from Prague :). It was actually funny, looking at all the tourists around me, trying to take the same photo using a compact camera, usually also using flash :). I also think my best shots from Prague will be the night ones. The number of tourists then was already acceptable, so I could take my shots without being in a crowd.

Karl’s Bridge at Midnight

Back home after few days in Prague. Of course I took many photos and most of them bracketed for HDR :). So this week most (or all :)) photos will be from Prague. Let’s start with something really well know, the Karl’s Bridge. As I had no luck for clouds during the day, I was very happy that there were some at night. This photo was taken around midnight :)

In the past I had a lot of problems with my night shots. Usually the camera focused on everything, just not what I wanted, So this time (after years of having the camera) I used live view and manually focused all my night shots. I think the results are much better, than when I used auto-focus.

County Session House

Something from Liverpool. You can see here, that I really like my wide-angle lens and the distortion it gives to the photos :)
