Just payed Prague another visit. This time I had hoped for some snow. Well it was cold enough but no snow. Still I got some nice photos. Here again Charles Bridge in the morning, the only time you get this shot without people :-)

This is just one exposure of 50 seconds. No stacking or exposure blending needed. The light was very even during blue hour this morning.

cheers

I'm already planning the next trip to Prague this winter. The city is pure magic full of beautiful photo locations. Here I went on a twilight shoot to get an empty view of the charles Bridge. At 70mm and f/8 I needed some focus stacking here to get everything sharp. The photo was 120 seconds exposed, was still quite dark and twilight just started to color the sky.

If you're interested in focus stacking and how my images get that look check out my start2finish tutorial. Infos can be found on my blog -> Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

No secrets in there :-)

This is the beautiful charles bridge in Prague, often photographed but I couldn't resist. In the early morning hours it's the only time when you can shoot it devoid of people. Only a few other photogrpahers were present.

This is a panorama of three horizontal shots stitched together using hugin.

How about another cityscape. After rainy days this sunset in Prague was a nice surprise. And it lasted long enough till finally the city lights went on and I had both the colorfull sunset sky and the lit up city in one photo.

I did some exposure blending here and my typical postprocessing. If you're interested, I have a tutorial describing my whole workflow. Here are some infos:

PS: this photo was taken with a pre-production version of the new Tamron 70-200mm Di VC USD lense. Sharp thing!

Another photo from prague. I took this last summer with the new Tamron 70-200 lense. I went for a panorama here to take in the whole scene. It was a beautiful sunset after a dull day.

In this photo the colors are even more vibrant than in the other, which I showed you some month ago (see below). Here the lights are already glowing brighter which gives the castle a nice glow, that isn't fully there in the other photo.

cheers
