Hi, everyone! Welcome to mybeloved.camera. I have been pretty fortunate when it comes to business travels. I shifted some of the work from the team in Budapest to India while ago. As my team expanded, I hired a couple of people in Prague during the pandemic. After two and half years after I hired the first person, I finally had the opportunity to travel to Prague Czech Republic. It was my first time visiting Prague, and I only had a few days to spend there. But I found some time to walk around the city to photograph this beautiful city.

First and foremost, I really got lucky (in an unlucky situation). Since I only had limited time, I booked a photo tour through Tripadvisor. Unfortunately, it fell through as my flight from Budapest was cancelled and did not get in time to meet the guide. But I got in early enough to check in to the hotel and start shooting photos. I powered through most of photogenic buildings around the town on the first day/evening without spending time to really appreciate the history. One of the buildings I wanted to photograph was the oldest castle in the world, Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. I arrived at the Charles Bridge tower a couple of hours before the sunset, and I stayed at the tower until the sunset. I did not choose the timing of my visit based on where the sun would set. I did not even know. But I wanted to see how the castle would look in the sunset and got really lucky.

While there are many historic and photogenic buildings around this beautiful city, another thing I appreciated walking through the city is the vibe of the city. This tourist friendly city has a lot of entertainment to offer, good food, and good looking restaurants and cafes.

But to me, nothing really beats the beauty of the Prague castle and Charles bridge.

My first day in Prague ended there as I need to grab dinner and get ready for the next day in the office. But I got to continue pretty close to where I wrapped up the next day. After dinner with my team, I spent few moments taking another iconic building. Though I did not have a tripod with me, R5 with 24-105mm L lens at 1.6 sec produced a decent photo.

Prague is an absolutely beautiful city and a lot to see. I simply wanted to "see" and photograph as much as I could on my first trip. But as I focus developing my team in Prague, my plan is to come back here twice a year for several years. I will trip to capture these beautiful architectures and others I did not get to see in the future.
