A Rainy Night in Prague
-
Aperture: f/7.1
Focal Length: 21mm
Lens: EFS 17-55
ISO: 100
Shutter: 2.5 sec
Camera: Canon EOS 30DIt was a very dreary rainy night in Prague Old Town, but there were plenty of people about. I’d hate to see how busy it is when the weather is nice! Anyway, I was attracted to the colour of the umbrellas this couple were carrying. They stopped, just briefly, which made them stand out even more from the other pedestrians. C&C Welcome!

Doesn’t seem dreary at all. Fortunate with the two umbrellas, add a nice touch to the whole atmosphere! Well done!
Super shot, perfect time in the evening – love the blue left in the sky.
gotta love wet cobblestone streets!

Great shot – did you use a tripod for the 2.5s exposure?
Thanks! Yes, I used a tripod for the shot.

Thanks Merv!
The colour of the sky was the result of up-lighting on a nearby cathedral, and very low clouds. It was actually well after dark at that stage. It resulted in an almost purple colour in the sky.

Hi Doug.
Great shot, but I don’t think a dry street would look as good as the lights are reflected nicely in the paving. Thank God for rain. :lol: :lol:
I can’t get over how clean the street is.miki g wrote:

I agree that the wet pavement really makes the shot. It was sure a pain in the ass shooting in the rain, but it was worth it! All the streets in the old town were absolutely clean. I don’t know if the rest of Prague was the same, but it wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a shame litter is such a problem in this country.

Unless you have to drive a car…

Old town looks nice because they try to keep it clean for tourists, but if you visited the rest of Prague, you would be really surprised… it´s something between Amsterdam and Moscow. Even the most famous Wenceslas Square (Vaclavak) is full of prostitutes, drug dealers and pickpockets.
fantastic shot Doug – lovely colours in the building the sky, great composition with the movement of the pedestrians, especially with the pair of similar umbrellas gives it a nice finish
