So as I hinted in my last post – you will have to suffer loads of Prague – I started with the wow of the Spanish Synagogue, This is a much more travel orientated post providing a day/night detailed overview of the Charles Bridge. The bridge has potential for some serious photography, tripod and all early morning or late night long exposure etc. These are all handheld Fuji X-T10 a 16MP X-Trans CMOS II APS-C sensor – which has long been superseded but as David Oakes pointed out can I improve the quality especially when shooting RAW. So enough of the technical stuff. This is a homage to Mark Simms travel prowess covering a wide aspect of the subject over day and night. My question to you is did I choose the right lead cover shot… Enjoy

Karen very generous – and thank you for commenting – enjoy Napoli – I had to suffer a NATO tour there for 4 months it was hell!!
Went to Prague for my 30th birthday……..too many years ago now and before my “proper” photography days. It’s on the re-visit list. Brilliant photos.
Cheers Mark, I hope you read the full text closely 😉
I am truly honoured 😊. Off to Belfast tomorrow for a few days, so I’ll be posting more travel photos soon.
Well enjoy – havent been so you are charged with selling me on a Trip. There is a library I badly want to see but I think that might be Dublin
I’ll try my best 😊
Stunning! 🙂 🙂
Cheers, Jo – I’m warming you up – by the time you get to the Cathedral you will be salivating for a chilled beer.
Walking in the Algarve today Scott. A chilled anything would be appreciated 😃
Haha effective name dropping
🙂 🙂
Great shots one and all, though I think you picked the right one to feature… tho the night shot comes in as a close second. I think your choice gave a better feel for the detail that went into buildings and structures of that era. Reminds me a bit of Riga.
The feature shot lent itself to landscape subject – I have heard great things said of Riga – but we need to save for a US coastal run 🙂
Latvia was the one European visit I did manage. It was a bit of a travel back to my roots since I was born there. I happened to be there shortly before it regained independence. Soviet days had not been kind, but I hear it’s been cleaned up and restored… though also getting plagued with a reputation for rowdy visitors from other European countries.
Looks like your choice of travel was a good one! 🙂
Beautiful shots, could not have gone wrong with any of those as cover shots, although I am a bit partial to the one at night ~ it looks like a great scene.
Well, that’s 2 for the night shot so your not alone, I have night image of the castle featured in my next post – enjoy and thanks for commenting.
Great trip… Looks like another location to put on that list that gets longer. Trips like this really test the skill of the ‘travelling’ photographer and you have obviously know how to do it making images from what is there rather than the imagined what might be if only we were there earlier later/had more time/ less people. 🙂
I am pretty certain we are not supposed to achieve those bucket lists simply aspire to them… I would like to return to England as a tourist at some point – been away long enough to appreciate it now probably.
Thank goodness other visit on our collective behalf and tell and show us what they have seen. Makes dreaming a pleasure 🙂
You chose a very worthy cover shot, but not an easy decision, I’m sure.
TBH I went on the image fit as a header – they don’t always do – my blog is one of those that needs to be opened up and that’s not so easy in the current WP interface.
Beautiful photographs… perfect header!
Magic Ingrid – glad you like them – I am keeping the best to last though 🙂
Beautiful images!
