Prague...

, , ,

Hi All,

Guess what, there is actually a new Duploworld update again:)
Jammin' on the bridge

It has been almost two weeks since my last update, but while travelling it has been difficult to post or even respond as a a cooperative internet connection has been a somewhat elusive luxury.
However being back in Denmark I am on a reliable connection again and easily able to update you on the first stop of my journey, Prague.
Evening love

Prague was mainly a work thing, but I had a full evening for my self, just me, my camera and a couple of manual focus primes. I did a classic turist walk from somewhere in the old diplomatic area and across the turisty busy Charles bridge and spend a couple of hours in the central part of Prague.
Charles bridge - Eastern tower

Not really much more to tell, except that I truly adore the city, it is a place that will remain something special to me. During summer it has way too many turists, but the friendly atmosphere and beautiful historical settings is something I totally adore.
Slow business

A side note on something photographic, the use of the old (though still in production) manual focus Nikkor AIS 50/1.2 and the D3, seems - to my eye - to produce photos with a rendering I truly adore, many of the photos in this post has a quality to them i would almost associate with film. I could be far off, but there is just something about them that feels right to me.

Ramblings aside... stay tuned for the next update, which will be on Bergen.

Do take care you all:)

Thomas

Finally an update again...Bergen...

Thank you Yooper:happy:

Vaguely so yes, at least I recal seeing some still life B&W work with his name on as well as a single photo of Charles bridge from the eastern shore just to the right of the bridge, looking west.

Why?

Hi Mr. Hungry:D
I do not have to mention how great it is to see you pop back in here, do I?
I have been way too busy, that is the main reason.
As for the travels, well they are part of my job and rather frequent.
Appreciate you liking the photos though:)

Hi Duplo. I know very little about photography, but I agree that your shots here do have a very classy / professional look. Particularly the black & white ones.

Thank you Mickey J:happy:
