Around the World
Various photos from my travels...
Prague, Czechoslavakia.
This photo was taken from a moving taxi as we were travelling from the airport to our hotel in Prague. Outside the city, the onset of winter was showing with a light layer of snow, apparently earlier this year than previous ones (Nov '07). Unfortunately for us, there was no snow in the city.
On this trip I used a Nikon D200 and 17-55mm lens with no other gear. For those interested, I put the camera in shutter priority mode at 1/250 seconds (to counter the speed of the vehicle) and made sure the aperture was fairly small for a larger depth of field - I think it was around F16. I focussed on the tree and took the picture.
I loved how it turned out, with the framed tree on the left contrasting markedly with the white snow and foggy sky.
