Czech Republic Sun between the spires

This is an ideal place for early spring photography, when the trees in the gardens are in bloom. The morning sun rises directly in line with the Church of Our Lady and often shines straight into the lens, so knowing how to work with backlight is very important.

It is worth coming to see the location beforehand, so you have an idea of the possible angles, compositions and the terrain where you will be shooting. The slope is quite steep and can be very slippery when the grass is wet, so you need to be careful when working with a tripod. In any case, I found shooting handheld more useful here — you have more flexibility and if you have a steady hand, you can even hold three exposures at once… like me, heh.

Parking is limited in this area. It’s best to use public transportation and walk to the spot.
