Astronomical Clock Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is an astronomical clock locates in Old Town City Hall in Prague. I didn't have a tripod with me when I shot this photo; however, there was a wooden stand across the street for me to rest my camera on. I shot this clock a few days before but noticed the light was better on this day.

I decided to crop this picture pretty tight elimating the skeleton from the picture.

Hello Toan,
What a very good shot of an image that is actually quite far away. Very clear and sharp. Very nice. It would be nice to have a note about what we are looking at. I know what this is, because I was there not so long ago, but others might not realize that this is a very close-up view of the astronomical clock at the Old Town City Hall in Prague. The clock is quite a tourist attraction. This view is almost abstract; very cool. Well done! (but a note identifying it would have been nice :-) ).
Regards, Jackie

Très beaux détails de cette belle horloge astronomique que j'ai eu le plaisir d'admirer...mais sans téléobjectif. La lumière et les couleurs sont très belles. Le cadrage est peut être un tout petit peu trop serré et nous prive des extrémités des aiguilles
Amicalement
JJ

Very nice shot. I like the colours and the sharpness. As someone already mentioned, a note would be great. It is still time for it!

Hi Toan, you see lots of photographs of this clock, but this one rocks, framing it up close like you have lets us see how interesting and colourful it is. Well done!

Hi Toan.
Nice colour and sharpness in your shot.Shadows are perfect sharp,besides,it have a lot of circular lines with very contrasted colours in each one that give it an imposing appearance.A good photo without question.TFS.
