This is probably the most typical shot made in Prague: Charles Bridge leading eyes towards the other river bank where the Prague Castle is on a small hill.

Photo tips: About a 35 mm lens, or a bit more telephoto to focus more on the Castle. Golden hour is a great time here, but preferably in Winter, otherwise both the bridge and castle can be in a shadow. Dusk or Dawn with all the main objects artificially illuminated is probably the best.

Getting there: It's very close to the Charles Bridge, just a bit South on the right bank of the Vltava river.

I think most blue hour photos of Prague feature the Charles Bridge in some way or other. Mine are no exception, this is my third photo of Prague, and perhaps the most famous view with Prague Castle and the St. Vitus Cathedral on the hill. There are still some more views I would like to photograph on a future visit.

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

The Prague Castle, an ancient symbol of the Czech lands, is the most significant Czech monument and one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic.

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!

cheers
