Photographing Prague - Moments In Time Ep 10
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- With stunning classic, baroque, rococo, and gothic architecture, Prague is as beautiful as it is historic, and it’s also one of the best cities in Europe for photography. Since it’s such an amazing place to visit, Prague also attracts an incredible amount of tourists that can make getting certain shots very difficult. In this episode, we navigate the old streets and buildings looking for the best light, while learning how to best avoid the crowds.
I meet up with my friend and talented conceptual photographer and artist, Erik Johansson, as he takes us on a tour of his studio and walks us through his incredible creative process from the conceptual side all the way through production and final digital editing. His work is truly surreal and it’s an amazing experience to get a full demonstration of his workflow.
During this episode, we pay a visit to Centrum PhotoSkoda, one of the largest and most impressive camera stores in Europe. The owners Milan and Martin Skoda, take us on a tour of both the modern and the historic as we visit the museum and learn about Prague’s rich history and photographic legacy.
In this Moments in Time series, we take a journey around the world together, and share about photography, travel, people, food, experiences, and everything that happens between the frames I capture. Join our Moments in Time Flickr community for access to two exclusive mini episodes, and new episodes will be published here on RUclips every Tuesday morning.

I don't usually comment on videos, but I've shot the sunset from that same tower over the Charles bridge (maybe even the same exact spot) 2 years ago, using the techniques from Photographing the world 2 and it's one of my favourite photos. I just wanted to stop by and express my gratitude for the awesome content and inspiration you bring to the community, Elia. Keep it up!!!
mi6aki you should definitely comment more on videos. It’s nice to hear from you!
Thanks for the feedback! It's definitely nice to hear from you here. :)
@@EliaLocardi thank you both for the replies :) it's people like you that help me overcome myself and start spreading the love in the comment section, as well as help me grow as a photographer. Thank you!
The interview with Erik was such a nice bonus!
Love the walking intro segment here at 16:25
Your the best photographer in the whole world and the coolest man alive!
Thank you!
Great. I can't wait to see you next week.
Always nice to be in Rome. :)
Next time you are in town I'll buy you a coffe!
Erik is so awesome!!
Totally agreed. Landscape and cityscape is basically standing and waiting for hours at a single spot waiting for the light
Yup, it's true. :)
Now that (FotoŠkoda) is my idea of what a camera store needs to be.
It's awesome for sure!
Beautiful guide
I liked both the wide angle and the telephoto shot case from the tower. To bad for the flood lights. God, I would love to visit Prague. Nice work Elia.
Thanks Max!
wide shot 👍👍👍🤘
Love Prague. Your video did it justice.
Appreciate that!
"Standing in place for 4 hours with Elia Locardi" has a nice ring to it :P
I don't think it would go far. ;)
19:14
Fantastic! Learning so much! Thanks Elia 👍
Just awesome
I like the wide angle more
Thanks Elia. I’ll be in Prague Sunday. Enjoying Budapest from Buda. Location is almost everything. Another excellent Moments in Time!
Enjoy!
I like the wide angle shot but the zoom shot is close behind. Great video especially with Erik.
#Erik is my inspiration. His photo made me fall love with Photoshop in 2015 ... Thank you soo much for awesome episode with Erik ... We love your work 😊
Glad to hear it. Erik inspires me as well. :)
The best video about photography in Prague. Well done Elia!
Thanks!
Great to see my hometown through your eyes.
Prague 😍 I love it! Europe is so full of awesome places. Nature and cities....
Just returned from Rome, can’t wait to see your next video!
Amazing video. As a roman I’m looking forward to see the next episode!
Grazie!
I recommend to visit also Cesky Krumlov and Josef Seidel photo museum/studio, in case you haven't been there yet. It is a beautiful place.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Elia I love this new video format. Love the idea behind, getting to know new spot and new photographer and the way they express themself. Regarding the two shots the wide one is the one I like most, I can feel the air and spaces. Thanks Elia
Thanks Luca!
Definetely of of my fav video so far. As a Prague lover, really enjoyed the ride, and Erik´s art appearence just put the video on next level.
Thanks for the feedback!
How interesting is Erick's work
That is pure gold.
What a coincidence ... ! Just i was thinking about this vlog or episode... I am receiving notifications...
Nice timing!
Both shots are really nice but I'm leaning towards the wide for my favorite. Enjoying these episodes very much. Thanks Elia!
Thanks for the feedback. I actually posted the wide to Facebook and a cropped version to Instagram. :)
fantastic very informative as always
So many beautiful places to photograph and so little time. As I have said before, the addition of different artists, styles and techniques add so much to this series. Thank you.
Prague has a lot to see and photograph. :)
Really enjoying your videos, thanks...
Thanks!
Nice job Elia! Erik is magic!
Amazing! Beautiful!...Great Stuff...Love em All
Every episode is as good or better than the previous, this is picture making at its best! Thanks EL
Thanks!
Love the photo at 16:11
That was a great video! Your style is a nice combination of travel, documentary, and photo instruction. It sets you apart!
Thank you!
Such an interesting video. Just perfect 👌.
I like the zoomed in version. The channel is excellent and hopefully will continue. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback!
Doing great work my friend. 👌👌👌
Awesome video 👌
The wide shot is my favorite! Very nice episode Elia, Erik’s work is amazing. I hope you’ll meet another great fellow photographer or artist in Rome. Fantastic work, thanks!
Thank You!
Fab. Enjoyed this episode the most so far I think.
It's one of my favorites so far too!
I’ll be honest and say I wasn’t struck by the first few episodes of this Moments in Time Series. But I have gotten a lot of inspiration from Elia’s work including his Fstopers PTW series so I persevered.
But this Moments series has gotten better and better. This Prague episode and the Dutch episodes were excellent. Well done.
Oh. And it’s the zoomed shot for me.
Looking forward to Rome thou I can guess Elia will visit some of the same spots he did on PTW. But bet it will be great.
Thanks John!
The wide is my favorite. I am heading Mexico City in October. I hope to use some of your techniques shooting the city. Thanks.
Awesome video, great info, entertaining and educational (everything you could want!)
Thank you!
I loved the interview with Erik Johansson. I've been following him since a long time ago and I think he's an amazing artist. Seeing you together has been a great surprise!
He inspires me as well and I'm happy to count him as a friend. :)
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this episode!!! Heading to prague in 3 weeks.
Great place! I got so motivated too 🥳
Awesome!! Got a chance during my trip to London to check out the video.
EXACTLY what I wanted to see. Going in October !
Nice!
this series is just getting better and better ! Can't wait for Rome !! The invite for Dublin is still open Elia.....
Thanks! I could use a pint!
@@EliaLocardi No better place than the home of the Black Stuff for a decent pint and some craic, your pint is waiting for you.....
Love it, I'll put it in my wish list 😁👍
The zoomed in is my favourite 👌
again a very cool video with interesting facts. But as always I have another question about this video. Not about your beautiful photos but you have that last photo in the tower you have a different clamp (tool thing) on the balustrade with a ball head what is the name of this because it can sometimes be handy that thing? verders again a great video Elia
That is the Multi-Clamp by Really Right Stuff.
eric , inspired me a lot. Tnx for bringing him in
Good episode Elia! The wide shot definitely
Wow, this is really good!
Loving this series Elia, and I have to mention what a great job your videographers do. Cheers
Yes, they are top notch! :)
looks awesome Elia - enjoy the rest of your trip :)
Excited for your Seoul episode!!
Nicley done Elia. Eric Johansen is a creative Master , and a Hasselblad Ambassador i believe. I know Hasselblad use some of his wok on their YT channel.
Ewan
Thanks Ewan!
Prague seems to be an awesome city to shoot photo's. I liked the wide shot more because i like the surrounding and lights of the cathedral. Great episode again. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Thank you. So beautiful 🤩
That second tower was so much better, great spot to shoot Prague 😀
I loved the wide shot 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Elia Locardi ahh and Prague is beautiful as you said. Great city for photography 😀📸
I thought I've seen you in the store but wasn't sure. Great that you payed a visit. :)
I've been a few times now. Great place!
I have been living in Praha for 8 years.... I love this beautiful city. Unfortunately I am moving out.... hope to return to Praha very very soon!
I am sending a greeting from the Czech Republic! Thank you for your visit here! :)
We had an awesome time!
What a fantastic video. Brilliantly done, thank you.
I am really liking this series. Great combination of teaching points and interesting travel destinations/people. Oh and I liked the wide shot better in the end of this video....
Thanks for the feedback!
These really keep getting better and better, this one is awesome. Thanks Elia
Thank you!
i love all Elia videos , so informative and fun =))) thank u man !
Thanks!
Loving this series more and more, I hope there is much, much more to come!
I love the wide shot! These behind the scenes are so helpful. Thank you!!!
Thanks Robin!
ah.. this video reminds me so much of my trip to prague..(2 years ago) I climb up the 2 tower too.. n got up 4am too .. walk to the charles bridge feeling like a zombie.. HAHA.
Everytime in Europe.. I climb the tower.. Just because, for the photo n see the view.. in Italy, Florence .. probably the "toughest" n "highest" observatory decks ive climbed.
For the Mini tripod setup, I normally add a Double-Sided Arca-style Rai, and a double-sided Arca-style clamp to Rebalance the setup, that makes the platform much more stable, and is easier to balance on the ball head too
Nice!
You asked which image you like most at the end of the video. I like the closeup or tighter image, because it has some interesting architecture and detail. Elia do you shoot panoramic images on those blue hours moments? Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback! As for panorama, sure, sometimes I do.
Great video again! I know I need to visit Prague and take images there. But now I am more determined than ever. And I never heard about this museum/school/shop/galery...!
Thank you!
Liked and comment before even watching it.... That's how much I loved this Channel 😄
Thanks!
I lived in Prague for 3 years! My heart still lives there!
Always good to hear about fond memories. It's one of my favorite cities. :)
Elia Locardi I sent you on Instagram a place you might like to visit! ;)
The zoomed shot is my favorite. But both are great :)
Oh a new Elia Locardi Video: First, smash the like button second, enjoy the video!
Thanks!
it's beautiful to hear you speaking italian, I mean, cause of your name! You will be welcome in Italy, every time you want to come
I'm a bit rusty to be honest. Too much time out of Italy. ;)
Amazing like others épisodes ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 the wide shot better than long shot
Perfect accent! Ti aspettiamo!
Grazie!
Very nice episode, love it!
Hello Elia, your style of presentation is great together with fantastic images. Keep them coming and thank you for sharing.
Dammit.... I've been to Prague 4 times and never went up that Powder Tower lol.... now I'm really regretting it. Hope you got a chance to see "Dancing House" when you were there. Pretty awesome architecture!
Next time!
Thanks for the tips!
Hahaha I can’t watch it right now, I’m very busy (I’m a Doctor and have some patients to take care) but once I get back home I will make a coffee, sit down (In Iraq, because I’m a humanitarian Worker) and relax watching this video 😀
Awesome! Let me know what you think!
Elia Locardi I just watched it and as usual, after watching it, I just want to go out and take photos hahaha!
If you are interested in taking a look of some picture from Syria and Iraq that I took you can check this Instagram account: luisgomar1985
Actually, I'd really like to.
A museum and Photography store is cool.
Just love it
Wide shot... Enjoying a location for 4 hours with Elia 😁😁
Haha, thanks!
Although there are elements of the wide shot that are nice, like being able to see some action on the street, I’m voting for the zoomed (tighter) shot simply because I feel the near rooftops are somewhat distracting, pulling my attention away from the more interesting towers in the distance. BTW, super interesting episode. That camera store is unbelievable and your photo/artist friend is simply a genius with such an imagination - BRAVO !
Nice. Great feedback, thanks!
I hope the series Moment In Time will be endless, I love your channel Elia :) keep up the good content
We're starting to plan the next season. :)
@@EliaLocardi So cool 😎 your advices are really valuable for the novice I am and the meetings with locals and photographers make the video very pleasant to watch .
I'm not a pro but I wanna make my way into photography.
@jonathanjo60 on instagram if you wanna have a look :)
Your videos are incredible! We prefer the wide shot, naturally also the zoom shot it is beautifull
Thank you!
I’d love to see a tutorial on your blending techniques. Also, it would be really cool to see you shoot on the GFX 100
I always travel with a table /mini tripod.
It can sit on uneven and small spaces such as a rock, fallen trees or simply on the ground etc.
It is also great for B footage with a second camera, osmo, phone or whatever other system you choose plus I also sometimes have a H5 on it for audio recording etc.
The metal type table tripods can actually hold large zooms......always with one of the legs under the lens ;)
It's a never leave home without item for sure!
Beautiful photos Elia! I was wondering what tripod you were using in this episode.
Another great episode. One thing I am not looking forward to is the series coming to a close.
I guess it's a good thing we are planning a second season. :)
