Sunset from Letna

This is one of my favourite spots in Prague to enjoy the sunset. It is in the park in Letna. You can see many of the famous Prague places from here.

Sunset in Passo Gardena

Passo Gardena is one of many high mountain passes in Dolomites. This photo was captured shortly before the sunset when the light was very nice.

Sunset near Schmilka

Saxon Switzerland is a beautiful place. Me and my girlfriend were lucky to spend one evening there and watch sunset near the small village called Schmilka.

The Rainbow

I have posted a similar image some time ago, this one, however, contains a rainbow:).

Zizkov Tower

Some time ago there were nice clouds just behind the Zizkov Tower and what can you do about it? You can photograph it and enjoy it:).

The Forest

During the trip in Prachovske skaly I grabbed this quick shot and ended up liking it. The weather was still a bit rainy and it helps to create the mood in this picture (at least for me).

Trosky

I’ve been busy with different kinds of photos lately and I didn’t manage to do any landscape work. Last weekend I joined a trip to Český ráj. We visited this ruin called Trosky. Check out the map to see its exact location.

Charles Bridge

This is my second favourite long exposure photo I took yesterday when experimenting. I usually don’t take these kinds of pictures during daytime but longer exposure makes it a bit more interesting, I guess.

Feathers in the Sky

I’ve admired long exposure pictures ever since I’ve seen the first one:). I did not have the right tools up until now to try it so I was stuck with the maximum of thirty seconds. I finally got some ND filters and went out to try it out. My goal was just to test the equipment and figure out the right technique. I visited two of my favourite places here in Prague and I failed so many times I should’t even write about it:). Nevertheless, I also managed to get some decent shots, this one is the winner of the day.

In case you were interested (not that it matters), I shot this with a 4-stop ND-filter and for the sky I used 2-stop soft graduated filter. The exposure time for this one was six minutes. And by the way, this time the HDR part was in camera, not in post-processing;).
