Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Staromestska

This is an edited version of Picture 2, utilizing Gimp's auto-levels feature.

This shot shows the area of Stare Mesto around the Karluv Most, seen on the left. The building with the clock tower is partly taken up by the Karlovy Lazne nightclub now, and the building to the left of it contains the Bedrich Smetana museum (or once did). These buildings were damaged in the recent Prague floods of June 2013.

In going through my old cameraphone shots to find ones that might be suitable for iPernity, I found this one of a DPP 81-71M Class Metro train blurring into Staromestska station on Linka A. I actually have a few shots similar to this one, so I wasn't sure whether to post it, especially since it's a cameraphone shot, but I decided to post it to iPernity, anyway.

As I was walking back from the Mala Strana, I thought the light had improved, so I took another shot of Tynsky Chram. I haven't decided which is better, as this one actually looks darker.

Swinging the Ikoflex (still on the tripod) over to my right, I got this shot right after the Tynsky Chram shot.

Immediately after getting back from Greece, I loaded up the Ikoflex, for the first time in a few years, with a roll of expired Pan F that I had. The results were fine, some of my better shots, actually, but I had trouble finding a lab that were willing to scan the negatives. In the end, I had prints made and scanned them, but I'm still looking for a proper scanner to have these done.

If you swing your camera over to the right of the last photo, you also can get a good view of the Stare Mesto, or old town, with the male and female towers of Tynsky Chram on the left, and the clock tower of the Stare Radnice (Old Town Hall) to the right of it.
