Hello and greetings from Prague my Steemian friends! It's time for a new episode of MyPictureSunday
Before I start showing you what I did today, let me answer some questions that occur over and over again. Many of you want to know what equipment I use to take my pictures and here is the answer.
My standard gear consists of:
- DJI Mavic Pro
- Polar Pro ND filters
- Epic Bitcoin Necklace
- Nikon D750
- AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm 1:3.5-4.5G
- AF-S NIKKOR 50mm 1:1.8G
- Epic Steem Pins
- iPhone 8
- Rollei Action Pro Gimbal
- Gorilla tripod
- Mircrosoft Surface Pro 4
- GoPro Hero 6
Any questions left? Then just write a comment and let me answer. It's time to have a look what I did today in Prague.
The GoPro Hero 6 is new to my Steemit blogging gear and I will use it now to make some Vlogs for you. Wait, Tim said Vlogs? Yes, absolutely! I have no idea how to make Vlogs but I will simply try it, no matter how awful the first Vlog will be. I will try to improve.
So I arrived in Prague and had the same problem as in Berlin, London and most of the other European cities. During winter time the weather is pretty bad. Cloudy, no sun and freezing temperatures are what I had to struggle with today.
However, it's not a reason for me to quit. It's quite the opposite, I see a challenge to make great shots despite the weather being bad, no matter how hard it seems to be. I will be honest with you, my motivation was very low when I arrived and saw the sky. But later the day, at night, Prague turned out to be a gem.
I will stay in Prague for two more days so I can take more photographs and collect some footage for my Vlog. In the next episode of TimTravels I will tell you more about the city of Prague. Steem on my friends!
Yours,
Always beautiful as usual. Very nice one @timsaid.
Who doesnt love the beauty of Prague 🇨🇿
I lived there from 2006-2010 and had some of the best years of my life.
The pros are that it is architecturally beautiful, that the public transport system is extremely thorough and cheap, there is no real 'ghetto' and violent crime is not a major issue. It feels like a big city, but it's not crazily big. You can meet really interesting people and even after several years I was still stumbling upon 'secret' places or weird hole-in-the-walls. If you like to drink beer, well, there's a bar on virtually every corner. There are layers and layers of history piled up - not just the famous sites, but normal corners may have traces of the Communist days, the post-WWI Republic, the 19th century, and even further back. Also, you can get to other countries very quickly.
The cons are that there are drunk tourists and expats all over the place, so it can be very noisy until late at night (good when you want to be out yourself but bad if you're trying to sleep). Also a con is that I found Czechs more stand-offish than a lot of other nationalities. I learned Czech, went to Czech bars, etc. but I can't remember anyone local striking up a conversation with me in those places. This doesn't mean Czechs can't be great, just that they're quite reserved with strangers. When you get to know them a bit, they're quite friendly. Compared to some other European capitals like Berlin, it doesn't feel as cutting-edge or hip, though I met lots of really cool people. People in Prague can be pretty gruff, sometimes out-and-out rude, and dealing with bureaucracy is a serious hassle - they love stamping documents, getting double authentic copies, and generally making you jump through hoops. There is dog shit everywhere and the city gets smelly, especially in the summer.
But, it's a great place. The pros very definitely outweigh the cons.
The most important gear is your epic bitcoin necklace 🙌😅
Totally agree!!!
Damn! Seeing your photos and your drone in particular made me want to go travel some place with you again!
Why don't you join us at the @steemSTEM meetup where we're going down into the Large Hadron Collider? See Lemouth's post about it here, then we can also have a weekend in Geneva :D
Take care man.
Thanks bro! I will have a look tomorrow, definitely interested in seeing you again and have a good time. If by any chance, you could join me on my India trip next month
Awesome! The tour is on 9. February. I think there should be 3-4 spots still left, although you will have to ask Lemouth.
I won't have the time to go to India next month, unfortunately. But I'm sure we can do something in spring and/or summer :)
These are great pictures and good compilations, topnotch information prague. I shall love to visit one day. Powerful job!
very impression your post, I really like, I want to like you what is its secret?

The vlogs should be interesting, I'm glad you took this leap of faith.
I'm also excited about a little history with your next photos :)
I’ll definitely tell more about Prague with the next post and furthermore I decided to do vlogs so I can support Dtube
Sweet Jesus bananas!
I can just take any of the photos and use it as a cool wallpaper. It's so eye-catching!))
Nice gear. But we all know that it's nothing without Epic Steem Pins and Bitcoin necklace...
I'm just seriously inlove with those pics up there. Already using using one as my wallpaper.
Nice work and you got me drooling over your gear! Hahaha. I can hardly see anything whenever I take pictures at night. I'm glad you can produce such stunning but natural-looking photos.
Hehehe... And you probably have some experience. I'm a rookie, the best night pictures I've done is of the moon. 😂
Very nice :D
simply beautiful!
Awesome pictures and gadgets I really want them 😍😍😍
The architecture is so beautiful! This deserves a resteem!
This is a golden city.
I've done some vlogging with the Hero 6 and loved it, mostly because of how discreet you can be with it and how easily it can be mounted on to anything :)
When you visit Prague, or the Czech Republic, two things are musts: you need to eat good food and drink good beer.
Prague is most beautiful location around the world. You gave very inspiration photography collections at night their. Very cool & romantic location I've see. You already ready to take photography with use important camera equipment.
That's one beautiful city with gorgeous architecture! I Love the street lights!
Beautiful Pictures, they remind me of the times I've been there.
Keept up the good work!! :)
Wow! I feel like crying .if i can make just one wish, my wish will be for you to take me to see this beautiful places. The environment is superb and when i visit here, i will love to take beautiful pictures

Awesome pictures. I added Prague on my wishlist and I hope to visit it soon !! :)
Wooow ! You've done great things.And now in your eyes I understand that prague is a great city..Thank you @timsaid :)
Is it ok to fly your drone in Prague. I think the law is diferent for drones in other countries. For example in Paris/France is illega to fly drones.
Apparently not, drone use is permitted for private purposes without permission but must follow; max altitude 100m and no more than 20kg.
Seit wann sind die Propeller der Mavic gold/gelb an der Spitze? Gibts schon wieder eine neue? Meine hat noch die grauen... Was gibts für Updates? Und Prag ist echt ne wunderschöne Stadt, war auch schon zweimal. Immer wieder...
Sind die Propeller der Platinum Pro. Die sind aufgrund ihrer Form leiser, viel leiser. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Ich muss Prag definitiv bei Sonnenlicht sehen
Achso ;D Na dann also kein größeres Update... so in etwa wie apple und seine Handyupdates jedes Jahr :D Ich bin noch ganz zufrieden mit meiner jetzigen Mavic... Kannst ja mal Fotos meinerseits anschauen falls du Lust hast... Aber Updaten werde ich die jetzt erstmal nicht, habe die ja erst seit Juni... Aufjedenfall bei Tag auch anschauen, wünsche dir besseres Wetter bei Tag als ich es hatte, Regen und gestürmt wie nochmal was...
Such a powerful click taken from outstanding locations. Prague deserve place to this. Architectural buildings awesome. Castles, churches, statues showing their proud. Thank you for gave your travel experience.
Wow thats a very beautiful city and amazing architecture. The photos are amazing! Thank you for sharing :)
Nice equipment for a professional photographer, keep it up!
welcome:) We could go for a beer if you are interested...would it even count as a sucessfull visitation if you didnt have a beer with a Praguer?!
Very like your photo Tim, you have big talent in photography. Thanks for share your experience trip to prague beautiful place in the world.
Your nighttime photos make me think of postcards. Great photos!
The 3rd to last night photo almost has a haunted feel to it with the moving people. Kind of cool.
es un lugar con muy buena infraestructura en pocas palabras muy bella.
Glad to see you're getting such good use of the D750!
I love the D750, such a beast!
i enjoy your post ^^! Thanks.
i love them.those are the places i always dream of
I wish I was there @timsaid Great pics and beautiful buildings - please keep sharing your journey with us all.
I will share all of my experiences I made in Prague with you. Thanks for the kind words
Well done Tim, nice camera!
See you next time in Prague. :)

Stunning photographs! Congratulations Tim!

It is so beautiful there!
Have you been to Prague?
I would love to visit one day
Great post, i Love Praha and the Cz. Nice photo and Equipment
It’s amazing here, right!
Awesome photography, I have the Mavic too, do you use a specific picture profile for your shots?
I always shoot in dlog :) greetings!
moment and great results ... of course your equipment is very complete ...
good!.
This why I love STEEMIT, finding these kinds of jems, left and right, I would say good is an understatement, wouldn't you?
That is why i love steemit too.
Omg, man!) I can't say that photos are just good. Your perception and camera skills climbed to the professional level where I can't comprehend.
Your gear is very handy. But you also need to know kung-fu so you can beat anyone who tries to steal it!))
Nice
Developed interest in Prague after watching Legends, this are lovely pictures and I hope to see Prague someday, thats country number 33 I wanna see. lol
the equipment is perfect my friend
Wow!!!
The pictures are really amazing and so eye catching, water and blood didn't reveal this to you but the one spirit of the living God. Keep the good works going, there will definitely be a light at the end of the tunnel. My upvote is of No worth because am a newbie here but I'm supporting you with my comment and so you can check my introduction post and recent posts and help upvote for me and also follow me in return. Thanks for this post

Prague is such a beautiful city. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Oh wow, simply incredible! Prague is near the top of my travel list and your photos just pushed it higher. As always, it's a pleasure to read your post and scroll through your photos in awe. Thanks for sharing @timsaid!
beautiful place and pictures. I believe it is a bit difficult to take a shoot during the night. But you capture it well. Love your pictures, and I want to add Prague into my wish list (place to go) :D
happy for today!
I really like the way you started the post with your equipment and drone,
and i really like the way you captured Prague and especially the night shots,
i wonder how much time it consumes to take these wonderful shots :)
