Prague at Night


Friday night found me with time to myself. I packed up my camera gear and headed out into the city to try my hand at night photography. I had my Nikon, 2 lenses, and my tripod. I started with the gate across from our flat and then moved on into Letna Park. I got some nice pictures there of the Pavilion restaurant as well as several shots of the bridges and buildings below. I then walked down the hill and headed back up some very long stairs to the ramparts of the castle. From here I was rewarded with some more great pictures of some of the beautiful Prague buildings including Petrin aka the Czech Eiffel Tower.
I then headed down the hill into the city. I stopped on Mánesuv most, one bridge up from Karluv most, and took some 20 second exposure shots of this famous bridge. The water was very rough on the river but having the shutter open so long made it appear flat in the photos...smooth as glass.
I then headed down to Karluv most itself and found a public terrace on the east side of the river. From here I took some pictures, looking back up at the castle, with this beautiful bridge in the foreground.
Overall, I was out for 4 hours hiking around the city and was pretty wiped out by the time I got home but felt I had learned a lot and had taken some very nice shots.
