Hello and welcome to Prague Czech Republic
0:02
Prague is a very picturesque city and most people that come here do take this pictures photo of the Prague Castle and Charles Bridge
0:10
But today we would like to show you other places where you can take a picture that are also very picturesque
0:15
and that we can never walk by without taking a picture. And the first one is actually right here but not looking this way
0:22
But you've got to turn around because here's the building of the National Theatre
0:25
which if you include the bridge and the tram tracks is very beautiful
0:29
I will be carrying my old Praktika camera and I'll be taking the pictures so you can look at them and judge them
0:37
We have moved to the middle of the bridge to be at the spot where it looks the best to see the National Theatre full
0:44
And this is also a good spot to take a picture at night because the lamps are lit up and obviously the theatre is lit up
0:51
and you can really see the golden roof at night shine and it's beautiful
0:54
Lucky for me I have a black and white film so none of that will be seen in my
0:59
picture. That was our chance Honzo, no traffic. Okay you want to see the picture? I was actually asked that by a little kid I
1:11
took a picture of him and he said can I see the picture and he looked here. Next spot, let's go
1:24
Next photo opportunity is not a spot but mainly a building which is the St. Nicholas Church
1:37
We are on Karmelicka Street and it's a good spot because quite often the cars get a red light here
1:43
so you can walk into the middle of the road and take your lovely picture
1:48
Now's the time. So I was lucky to snap the picture when there was no traffic, but the street is quite busy
2:02
but there's another street from which you can take a perfect picture of the Saint Nicholas Church
2:06
Follow me. And here X marks the spot to take the best picture of Saint Nicholas Church
2:18
And whenever we walk here with Honza we always take a picture because it's just beautiful
2:24
So let me take one. Oh, not bad
2:42
They have just recently fixed the window blinds on the church. So they sort of reddish and the roof is green So it really looks amazing with all the colors Which once again I happy I have a black and white film Next spot we going to we taking a tram because it is a tram photo related
3:01
spot. Perfect. We're at the next awesome photo spot. This is a natural tram tunnel made out of
3:18
trees and during fall it is beautiful with all the colorful leaves. Unfortunately it's past fall
3:26
now, it's winter, but we'll still try to get a nice picture. Be extremely careful with trams
3:31
You don't want to get in the way of the tram. And this is really for professional photographers only because you would need a very long lens to get the good picture
3:38
I do not have a long lens. I have a 50 millimeter. You photographers understand
3:43
But let's try to get a picture. Also, we're waiting for a special type of tram
3:55
Not a number, but a type. This time we are hoping to get a glance of the T3, which is the nicest tram we know in Prague
4:03
So let's hope the next one will be T3. I've been here for like an hour now
4:10
And it's freezing. There it is, but from the wrong side. That's the one we're waiting for
4:18
Can we ask him to jump to the other track? Perfect, yeah. Get out of the way
4:27
We got it, we got it, we got it. We got it
4:32
On your marks. Light. Let's see how light is. So I tried my best taking the picture, but once again I have a black and white film and not long enough lens
4:52
But if you are a professional photographer like my friend Lukasz is, check out what his picture came out to
5:00
All right next spot, let's go The tram just left. We need to wait for another one
5:10
Bummer. While we wait for the tram to take us to another photo spot
5:14
I can explain to you and tell you something about my camera and why I take pictures in general
5:19
I bought this 15 years ago when I was studying photography in high school
5:23
and this is Praktika MTL3. It was around 50 euros to buy
5:28
I bought it downtown Prague. It was my very first camera, and I absolutely love taking pictures
5:34
I was even developing them at my school, at high school, so we had a lot of fun doing that
5:39
But I absolutely love taking it on vacations because you always limited to only 32 pictures per film so you really think about it before you take a picture Unlike with your phone where you just take thousands and thousands of pictures
5:51
and you don't even think about it. And it does selfies. Look, you pull this, you put it somewhere
5:59
and then it takes the picture 10 seconds later. That's the original selfie
6:03
If you are into film cameras, there are two stores I can recommend in Prague. One is Fotoskoda on Vodíčkova Street
6:09
and the other one is also on Vodnickovo, which is called Jan Pazdera store
6:13
They have old cameras that you can buy. You can buy film and you can get it developed there
6:18
And there's our tram. We have arrived to another beautiful spot where to take a picture
6:29
I bet you agree that this is very pictures. Actually, the water fountain from any angle, it is beautiful
6:35
And I bet you that if you were in Prague, you have walked through here and maybe you didn't even notice because you were blinded by this view because over there is the old
6:45
town square with the beautiful teen church and the astronomical clock so whoever enters this
6:50
small square that's what it's called is only looking that way and not too many people actually
6:56
look this way the other reason may be that under normal circumstances in the summer when there's a
7:01
lot of tourists this is not a small square but a giant restaurant and there's all these restaurant
7:08
patios so you can't really see the fountain you can't really see the square but now there's no
7:12
restaurants no tourists so let's take a nice picture so i decided for this spot with the
7:22
houses in the background i'll put the fountain in the middle and i'm thinking of a selfie here
7:27
oh so you can see that the streets of prak are clean
7:38
i'm really curious how this will turn out it will take a week for me but you can see it right now
7:57
Not bad right? Not bad. Let me get the other version. Pretty bad. Well for the
8:05
next photo spot we're going to a bridge but not this bridge nor the Charles
8:09
bridge that you all know but much cooler bridge. It's kind of far out so we're
8:14
gonna take a tram to it and hopefully by the time we get there it's gonna get a
8:17
little bit darker because it looks awesome at night. Just recently somebody asked us on Instagram what is our favorite bridge in Prague maybe expecting we would say the Charles Bridge but no our answer with Honza was the Troja Bridge because that part of the town is called Troja so that why it the Troj Bridge It the
8:45
newest bridge in Prague, the longest spanning bridge over the river. It has no columns that
8:50
would go into the water. And also on the other side is a place we already filmed, and it's sort
8:58
of a skate park, because there's a U-ramp, so skaters use it to practice. We're going to cross
9:04
bridge. It's used for trams, cars and pedestrians obviously and then we're gonna go to the next
9:09
bridge to see this one as it's reflecting in the water when it's lit up. That should look cool
9:15
That's where we'll take the picture. So we walked to the next bridge to get a better view of the Troy Bridge that is now lit up because
9:32
it's dark. This is definitely not a spot where we would send tourists because
9:36
we're basically next to a highway, but if you do want to get a cool picture of the bridge this is a place to go. You can also walk along the river, it's a pretty
9:44
popular running spot, it's a nice walk around so you can get different angles
9:48
from there. Also there are some great pictures of this bridge from a drone, but
9:55
let's take my old film camera and see what we can get. So I put it on one
9:59
second exposure so I'm also going to use the self timer so I don't move the
10:03
camera when I push the shutter last picture
10:20
hope you like the spots we picked obviously there are hundreds and
10:24
thousands of them around Prague so we would love to see your pictures if you
10:28

10:35
pictures with us that you took in Prague. We would love to take a look at them. If you actually like

10:56

11:09
It was cold, but definitely fun running around Prague with a camera. Hope you'll come to Prague
11:13
