Prague: Charming Photo

Just to have a break with the strange architecture of TM, today I posted something well known but maybe a little bit different. I haven't seen many pics of THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY BEFORE TÝN in the Prague old town by night and this is why I decided to upload it.
It's easy to find infos about this church on the net and also on TE but if someone is interested in more details should have a look at this site.

Hi Attila,
Marvellous night shot of this historic magic place. The lighting on that well known church and façades in front of it made a wonderful visual effect. Excelent POV and perspective with the warm atmosphere of all people framing the foreground.
Have a nice day,
Ricardo

Bonjour mon ami Attila,
Bravo pour cette réalisation nocturne de cette magnifique place avec ces édifices prestigieux.
Utilisation ou non du trépied ?
Merci pour le lien relatif à la ville.
Amitiés.

Hi Attila.

I remember when I was in Prague, really a beautiful place, with many beautiful buildings, I remember how beautiful was at night and yet, all my pictures from Prague were daily ones, I didn't bother taking the camera with me. Thank you for deciding to take nighttime pictures, this is marvellous shot, and just maybe you could make it lighter, the towers could be more visible. But I like the night mood and all those tourists there.

take care, Aleks

Bel lavoro Attila!! E poi dici che non usi il cavalletto. O ti eri appoggiato da qualche parte?
La chiesa illuminata in bianco è come un fantasma rispetto alle case gialle

Prima o dopo dovrò our andare a Praga, mi sembra tanto vicina eppure non ci sono ancora mai stata.

Ma con questo caldo... vado in piscina a Spilimbergo per un paio d'ore, nuoto per 600-700 metri e poi sto bene ;-)

Hallo Attila!
What a wonderful atmosphere in this picture! The bright illuminated church looks a bit mystic and gives a good contrast to the warm light at the houses. A beautiful picture!

Hi Attila,
We can see here a great resistance between the white and cold lighting and the one of color orange, warmer.
Good nocturnal taking, very well exposed and with much quality and sharpness, in addition it perfectly catches the great atmosphere of this zone.
The part of above of the darkest image emphasizes everything what we must see.
Very good photo.
Regards,
Josep

elmec (12194) 2006-07-10 16:18

Hi Attila
At last your photo of a place not far from me and you of course ;). Beautiful lighting of the church and the buildings. Good capture.
Regards

Angshu (33891) 2006-07-11 3:58

Hi Attila
What I like most about this night photgraph is the two distinct shades of light...the warm orange embraces the cooler white of the church. Amazing exposure time without a tripod, which makes this photograph even more appreciable. Well done my friend

Angshu

vinicio (22416) 2006-07-12 3:21

Il contrasto di colore delle luci è stupendo Attila, anche se la foto è leggermente scura, chi ha progettato l'illuminazione ha fatto un bel lavoro, la tua bella foto ha un ottimo POV e rende onore al bel posto che hai ritratto, complimenti.
Ciao
Vinicio

pablominto (40980) 2006-07-12 6:48

Hi Attila,
This is a lovely shot of this fine church!
What is most noteworthy is the difference in colour temperature in lighting of the church as compared to the street lights... This really makes the house of worship stand out!
Well framed with good details and all together well done!
Greetings,

Hi Szili.
Difficult night, but interesting result. Anyway, I would prefer a vertical composition.

Amazing night shot, lighting and colours are very good, the composition is great with the white facade of the church and the orange/gold colours of the rest of the buildings. Good perspective and POV.
Well done.

MikiM (1916) 2006-07-20 4:19

Szia Attila,
Nagyon szép ez a templom - hajdanában én is lefotóztam - még diára. Azt elég nehézkesen találnám meg :)- de Neked megígérem -még az idén....
Nekem a kedvencem ahogy a Te képeden is jól látszik a tornyok csúcsait megvilágító fény. Nem lehetett könnyű bemozdulás nékül megtartani!
Gratula,
Miklós

oochappan (22032) 2006-07-21 2:52

Hi Szili
pleasant this colors in this nightview, the surroundings warm red and the church pulling all the attention in a white light.

Ciao Attila,
bellissimo e magico lo scenario notturno di Praga. In questa foto si respira ancora l'aria da qualche secolo fa' ;)) Bellissima!
PS: proprio questa settimana ho trovato delle vecchie pellicole dei miei viaggi... un vero disastro! Non solo che usavo una Kodak per imbecilli (prestata da mia sorella), ma anche non capivo niente della fotografia e poi la pellicola e' tutta sbiadita in questi anni. Penso che era il 1988... ma per forza trovero' una da riempire la cartina ;))

paura (38784) 2006-09-22 6:31

Attila,
This is a incredible night shot. The church white light in contrast with the yellow illumination are very beautiful. This is an amazing place, friend.
