Prague, CZ on New Year

boulderNardo

This probably belongs more in the Journey forum, but I'm lazy and don't feel like writing much, nor do I honestly have much to write about

Was lucky enough to be able to spend New Years Eve and Day in Prague.
What a beautiful city and absolutely fun, too.
Unfortunately, the day was very overcast and it got dark quick so most of my shots were at night, still learning how to work in those lighting conditions.

Here's a few shots, please please please critique them hard, I need to learn


#1 - Jan Palach's Tomb




#2 - Different Angle




#3 - The National Museum




#4 - Vinoteka




#5 - Reading in the Tram. Can YOU read Czech?




#6 - Charles' Bridge




#7 - New Year's Day's fireworks over Charles' Bridge




#8




#9 - Church




#10 - The National Theater




#11 - Warm mood in a cold city




#12 - Central Station




#13 - Tram


I personally like this last one a lot, the critic I have is that the tram itself is centered in the image, but I simply can't find a better crop without reshooting, and I still get a good mood from the image so I like it...


#14 - Trdelnik




#15 - View from the Muzeum




Thanks for looking! More pics will follow...

As much as I want to find flaws to give critique, I cant, those shots are fantastic, I like your post processing those pictures.

Thanks for sharing

A friend who travels quite a lot tells me that the Czech Republic is one of his most favorite places to visit. Looking at your photos it is easy to see why.

Wonderful set! You got some unique angles and shots and some much photographed areas. It makes me want to go back and try again in Prague! Great job!

Thanks for all the comments and nice words people! Praha is indeed an absolutely beautiful city and I cannot wait to go back and explore it more. I only actually had about 24 hours there, 18 of which passed drinking and dancing the night away celebrating the New Year and only ~6 hours spent actually exploring the city and photographing (hence only night-time shots). I'm looking forward to going back and being able to spend several weeks exploring the city as a 'resident' and looking for more opportunities to photograph the 'known' from weird angles

That's a great series! The night shots worked well. #9 and #11 are my favorites, but they're all great. You made the most of a great location.
