Yesterday with a group of fellow photographers from Warsaw we went on a short photo walk. We started near the Warsaw University, then went passed the Warsaw University Library and made a final stop near the Swietokrzyski bridge and the Copernicus Science Centre. You can see the last of these in the photo above. The Copernicus Science Centre is the science museum where you can interact with the exhibited objects thus making simple experiments. Although I've never been inside, I heard some great opinions about it. And as you can see its warm orange lights looked amazing against the cold blues of the sky. As the Copernicus Science Centre is situated on the Vistula River bank I managed to capture some colorful reflections in the same frame.
The photo walk itself was a pretty interesting experience and motivated me to shoot in my home town what I normally avoid. I also managed to capture some shots which aren't typical for my style, eg. a few blue hour shots (as you may know I prefer the golden hour).
Here is EXIF data. As you can see I used Photomatix Pro 4.2.4 version which was released just a few days ago. If you're a registered user be sure to download it as it fixes a few issues. You can get it here (Windows) or here (Mac):

Please do continue to take photos of your home town! From what I've seen from photos like this, and especially the Royal Baths Park, Warsaw is a beautiful town that I'd love to visit some day.
ReplyDeleteOnce you've lived somewhere for a while, it's easy to start to take it for granted and not realise how great it is. That's why I love getting an opportunity to show people around Melbourne, it's a chance to rediscover my home town :)
What you said is very true. After some time everything becomes boring and normal (even if it was exciting at first) but I hope to take some photos of Warsaw in the coming months.
