Location
This photo was taken in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.Time
In the afternoon of a cloudy Spring day.Lighting
As the sky was cloudy on that day the light wasn't so good but enough to take this photo.Equipment
At that time (taken in 2002) I was using my old camera Olympus VG-160. No other equipment used then.Inspiration
I was informed about this building before I travelled. So I walked around and found it. The Dancing House (or Fred and Ginger, the famouw dancers, as it was originally named by Gehry), is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building on the Rašínovo náb?eží (Rašín Embankment) in Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Miluni? in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot. The building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996. The "Dancing House" is set on a property of great historical significance. Its site was the location of a house destroyed by the U.S. bombing of Prague in 1945.Editing
Yes, I did. AS I haven't a digital photo, I scanned the original I have in my travel album and made some adjustments of the color and contrast.In my camera bag
Actually and as a complete amateur, I take with me my older digital camera Olympus VG-160, my previous camera Canon Powershot SX710HS and my newest compact camera Canon Powershot SX730 HS, extra batteries and a small "Gorilla" tripod.Feedback
Who am I to give advices to others? I'm a laywoman. What I can say is that if you like photography, try to take photos of everything which call your attention or you like. Whenever possible, take into consideration the light, perspective and composition. Photography starts in your mind through your eyes and your images can tell a lot of things to others, help others, inform others. And, if you really like photography and you have nothing to photograph, then… photograph what you have.
