Just married, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

One of Prague's top tourist attractions the Charles Bridge or Karlův Most in Czech is very busy during the day but more quiet during the night and early morning. In the day time there are always a lot of tourists, salesmen of all kinds, souvenir stands, artists, street musicians, marionette theatres etc. There is always something that happens. When I happen to be there all of sudden there were not only one, but two newly married couples dancing to the jazz band called the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra. A jazz band that plays jazz from the 1920ies and 1930ies and quite well known among jazz connoisseurs. There are many people that during the last few years have stopped to listen to this excellent band while strolling in the Charles Bridge. No wonder why these beautiful bridal couples felt from dancing here on their wedding day.

Excellent scene, I like those white silhouettes in the middle of this beautiful landscape and the light-shadows play.

TFS and have a nice Sunday !

What an unexpected scene. I like the way you have captured both couples as they are looking happily into each other's eyes. The back-lighting works well too, especially on the hair of the couple further away.

Hej Ulf,
So this is what you dump into, just like that... hehehehe!
I notice the exposure is well done in strong backlight, with good details in both couples...
I guess they invite you to join the rest of the party, hehehe!
Greetings,

Hi Ulf

Excellent daily life scene, full of life and the beginning of a new era for this couple. The light is perfect, and I really enjoy the details in the bakground.
Have a nice day,

Hello Ulf!
I very much like weddings and first looking at the miniature photo, thought you had gone to Prague to a wedding! So, I was very surprised when I read the note, that it might be a custom for newly-wedded couples to come and have a dance on that bridge, knowing that there will be some good music to dance on!
What an original idea, and good capture for you! It's very romantic and so is the background, with the churh, the wooded hill and the two towers in the horizon!
TFS.
