Winter day in Prague

I was in Prague, Czech Republic for couple days.
Of course it was “business” trip, but one can’t work 24 hours a day,
so some time belonged to photography.
Love that city, I’ve lived there couple years ago for some time and
options current cameras offer are way better than scanning my old
negatives. Plus, my photography improved

Prague castle and St. Vitus cathedral,
viewed from other side of Vltava (Moldau).

Had overcast, so took out my infrared camera
and they turned out just beautiful.
Hard to mess up pictures of such beauty anyway.

Above are “City hall stairs” (Radnicni schody)

IR camera has greater tonal range, very useful in photo
such as this, I’ll put up article about IR soon.
This shot was converted to BW, it looked right.

The Prague Astronomical clock on Old Town square,

this is how infrared looks it it’s true (or false?)
blue/purpe colors after photographing.
The clock itself is amazing piece of history, constructed in
early 15th century, still works and yes, there is always crowd.

I may move back to Prague this or next year for a while,
who knows, but I’m looking forward to it if it should be.
I have more photographs from there on my Flickr site,
actually,

here is one gallery set up just for Prague

Enjoy and stop there for couple days  if you go around,
one and only jewel of Europe.

Urban Explorer

There is a bunch of photographers in Copenhagen,
who time to time get together and shoot something.
More about this elite group is right here.

This Saturday we met before sunrise (ouch) at abandoned Suhr’s auto repair shop, that now serves as urban area for paintball wars. But at this hour, totaly empty, so we had the place for ourselves.

Great area to practice flash photography, and absolutely outside the box for me.
I’m not shooting this at all, but hey, it’s winter time and any sight of color gives you energy.
Unless it’s raining. We got lucky, seen great sunrise, had overcast and finally some sun.

Also had time to think about the subjects in monochrome, that place is full of “art” pieces.
Even empty cartwheel looked cool to me

More images from this photowalk are on my flickr,
