Artist Reon Argondian's Magical Grotto on the Slopes of Petrin Hill Challenged Me to Use the Really Great Nikon D3100 DSLR

By Aidan Whittaker


Petrin Hill can be found~lies on the Western side~West bank of the river Vlatava in Prague, a little way from Prague Castle. It is a popular spot for natives to go for an night stroll and to enjoy the panoramic views. It really is specifically favorite with lovers. In case you don't fancy the assent it could be reached traveling on a funicular railwaythat provides a frequent service until finally midnight. Public transport passes plus the well-known Prague Card (if you purchased the travel solution) are valid to use on it. It can be a great lookout position for taking panoramic photographs of the surrounding city. Early evening can be a very good time as the sun is behind you and the shadows offer depth while the sun just isn't so powerful as to wash out all of the color. I got some great photographs making use of my Nikon D 3100.



Destinations on Petrin Hill consist of the Hunger Wall,The Stefanik Observatory and also the Magical Grotto. The latter would be the unusual three floored gallery of surrealist painter Reon Argondian whose unusual work you could view at www dot reon dot cz. The grotto houses extra than eighty of his most recent works as well as statues. There's a minimal entry charge, but you will be invited to loosen up and delight in complimentary drinks the moment you are inside.

Born in Prague in 1948, Reon Argondian spent a significant part of his artistic life in France where he utilized the location of historic Celtic tales to make his own legend: a large series of works of art that are windows into his mythical visionary world named Argondia. When you visit it's really probable you may be greeted by the artist himself and he revealed to me that he meditates after which represents the fantasy planet that forms in his mind.

His exhibition in Prague's Carolinum in 1994,had forty thousand visitors that was a deciding factor in him going back to establish his permanent home in the city.

Photographing inside the Magical Grotto posed a few difficulties as the lighting was reduced, but reflections of a flash from the art would ruin the image so Ipicked a slow shutter speed and was able to obtain quite a few remarkable images using my Nikon D3100, even with out a tripod.

To search out out far more concerning the Nikon D3100 spend a few minutes Finding a Nikon D3100 review.
