Prague by night Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi dear friends

I arrived to Praha in a cold night !

I took a walk into the centre of city and I was not prepared for the weather conditions. After 15 minutes, I felt some difficult and my hands frozen, any way I made some pictures of this lovely city.

Enjoy this view of the centre, where we can seen some monuments and the Castle in background.

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Its official name is hlavní město Praha, meaning Prague - the Capital City.
Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic center of the Czech state for over 1100 years. The city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million.
Prague is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and is among the most visited cities on the continent. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. According to the Guiness World Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world. Nicknames for Prague have included "the mother of cities", "city of a hundred spires" and "the golden city"

Hola Aires.

Sin duda, una preciosa foto de la Praga nocturna con sus famosos puentes bien conseguidos.

Frio? Nada, nada, seguro que un buen trago de becherovka lo arregla todo...

Un saludo!

Olá Aires,

Bela composição, com uma atmosfera romântica. Excelente ponto de vista. As sucessivas pontes sobre o rio deram um grande efeito de profundidade. Apesar da noite, a nitidez está muito boa e as cores e os reflexos estão lindos.

Abraços
Leonor

Buona giornata

salut aires
un bon POV en hauteur pour avoir une vue de tous les ponts de pragues a l'heure bleue en plus, peut être un poil sombre mais belle profondeur
amitiés

Hi Aires,
amazing POV, I have never seen a shot from this place before. The bridges look really great. Fantastic work.
May be it would be a bit better if taken 20 minutes sooner or so. A bit more light would be beneficial I believe.
Still it is perfect as it is.
TFS,
M

Olá Aires!
Embora ache que esteja um pouco inclinada (a linha do horizonte inclinada para a direita), o clima noturno obtido nesta foto foi muito bom, bem próximo do que veríamos com nossos próprios olhos: quantidade de luz, cores etc.! Ponto de vista excelente e composição acertada!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Warm regards

Hola Aires,
This one is my preferred in your photos of Prague by night. I like guessing the succession of bridges on the Vlatva river and seeing appearing monuments with different lightings. There is a beautiful and long depth given by your POV which follows the river.
Parabéns e bom domingo
Diane

Angshu (33193) 2009-07-05 22:44

Ola Aires
A very nice night view of Prague seem from above the rooflines. Like the illuminated dome in the FG lefy which seems to anchor the shot. Good reflections as well

Angshu

Olà Aires
Well done for this blue hour
I note here a very good management of the lights and the colour balance
Very good dominant point of view on the city.
Best regards

Hello Aires,
Fine night colours marked by golden and silvery colours against the dark blue river and sky, and the succession of bridges well included.
