Dusk over Prague Photo

Photographer’s Note

Maybe someone will recognise where in Prague I took this???

This was taken on my very first travel adventure, and for that reason alone has a special place in my heart.... 18 years old, a small bundle of life savings, a backpack and an around the world ticket...

And that was just the beginning!

Wow! Good composition and use of light. The bridge and the river are so misty.. The sky is great as well.
Good job!

Very attractive image especially from your first time out the gate! Only obvious technical detail is the darkened triangle at the top right... the water looks so soft like a veil or like it is frozen and snow is blowing over it. You really are the traveler! It was probably one of those images that solidified your travel bug.

Wow! Incredible shot! Where did you take it from? The tower at the north end of Charles bridge over Vltava looking east? I can't place it...The color and the mood are gorgeous!

Hello Karina,
This view over the river is good and I like to see the dust. Very nice and romantic view.
Therefore, I would have zoomed on the bridge, to stay focus on it as the main building on the left is too much dark.
Even though, it's a good photo.
Well done.
Alex

Very nice but somewhat blurred photo! Nice try!

Jeppe (18623) 2005-02-20 5:25

Wonderful image the hazy background, dimmed soft light and castletower as silhouette produces a fairytale atmosphere - thanks Karina.

markgong (2840) 2005-02-22 11:51

Wow...you captured the most beautiful city in the world so well. I can honestly say out of all the prague photos and post cards I have seen, I have never seen it from this perspective. Very nice fog and color. I think the strinking of the photo pixelized the tower though.

Hi Karina !

What a really nice shot ! The haze on the river gives a great dimension to that bridge ! The colours are great and as the picture is a bit blurred, the misty atmosphere is even greater.

Regards,
Youssef

This is an amazing scenery shot. The sillouette of the castle really helps enrich the picture, and the color gradient in the horizon is just reall really good.
very well done, really.

Great shot!! I'm off to Prague next week, I can only hope I get a shot as good as this. Thanks for posting

beautiful shot with a misty river. Prague is a beautiful city and you captured it well

rbcy1974 (20746) 2005-05-05 18:06

Hi Karina,
Was it taken from the park on top of the hill on the oposite side of the river past the castle?
Really beautiful mood, it really conveys that special haunted feeling of Prague that is being ruined by all the pacakge tourists. thanks for sharing.
Regards
Daniel

Hi Karina - the mist and blur makes it look like a painting, but the sharp silhouette gives a contrast, beautiful colour.

An enchanting capture, Karina. You have captured a wonderful moment that portrays perhaps the romance of Prague. Also an incredibly good scan for an aged photo. The POV is unique, the mist full of mystery. Well seen and executed.

ballyna (1689) 2005-11-20 7:34

karina,
u captured a great one,an awesome mood here like in the medieval ages of the vampires etc.I haven't seen Prague already and can't tell where but POV is very beautiful and I believe the city silhouette has not changed because I've heard a well preserved city it is in all ages.
