Carriage ride through old Prague, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

One in a series of pictures taken on a visit to Prague in October 2002.

There has been so much written about Prague here on TE and elsewhere that I do not intend to add to it. Those who are interested may visit this link, which relates to a Wikipedea article on the history of the city.

Carriage and horses driving past the Church of Saint Nicolas in the old town square, a novel way to tour the city.

Bonjour Stephen
Une belle prise des ces chevaux qui galopent gaiement sur les pavés. Tu nous laisses juste apercevoir le bel édifice en arrière-plan qui a l'air très intéressant.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Belle vue de l'animation de ce coin de Prague avec la belle église Saint-Nicolas qui constitue un arrière-paln de choix. Angle de vue oblique bien choisi qui offre une belle perspective sur la place.

The horse on the left is looking right at you! Good catch of the horse and carriage actually driving along. The church makes a perfect background for it.

Hi Stephen,
Great action shot catching this team in full stride as they clatter over the old cobblestone road.
Wonderful expression on the drivers face and an ideal backdrop of the lovely Czech architecture.
Regards, Tom

The horses and carriage are well placed, entering the frame, Stephen. I like the way you have used a deep DoF to reveal the details of the architecture and the city life. Regards Kevin

Bonjour Stephen,
Quel fier équipage! J'entends le bruit des fers sur les pavés, et je sens l'odeur si agréable des chevaux. Cet attelage est bien positionné dans l'image. On profite en même temps d'un bel aperçu sur l'architecture. Excellente gestion de la lumière et des couleurs. Bravo.
Bonne journée et bon week-end
Cordialement
Joël

Hello Stephen,

Great pov with the horses and carriage moving towards th camera and they are perfectly placed in the frame.
Despite the obvious movement, you have rendered the images quite sharply.
Lovely details of the street and the b/g building.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
