Artist Reon Argondian's Magical Grotto on the Slopes of Petrin Hill Challenged Me to Use the Fantastic Nikon D 3100

By Brett Murdoch

Petrin Hill can be found~lies on the Western side~West bank of the river Vlatava in Prague, not far from Prague Castle. It really is a common location for local people to go for an nighttime walk as well as to take in the panoramic views. It can be particularly common with couples. Should you don't fancy the assent it could be reached utilizing a funicular railwaythat provides a frequent service till midnight. Public transport passes and also the preferred Prague Card (when you purchased the travel solution) are valid for use on it. It really is a fantastic view point to take spectacular photos of the city. Evening is really a excellent time as the sun is behind you plus the shadows supply depth whilst the sun will not be so powerful as to wash out all the color. I got some amazing photographs making use of my Nikon D 3100.

Destinations on Petrin Hill include things like a maze,a model depicting the Eiffel Tower plus the Magical Grotto. The last mentioned could be the unusual three floored gallery of surrealist artist Reon Argondian whose extraordinary work you may view at www dot reon dot cz. The grotto holds far more than 70 of his most recent works of art at the same time as sculptures. There's a moderate admittance fee, but you might be allowed to loosen up and appreciate complimentary drinks once you're within.

Born in Prague in 1948, Reon Argondian spent a major part of his artistic working life in France where he utilized the location of ancient Celtic legends to create his very own legend: a big series of works of art that happen to be windows into his fictional dreamland referred to as Argondia. As you stop by it's really likely you are going to be greeted by Argondian himself and he spelled out to my family that he meditates after which depicts the fantasy world that enters his mind.

His exhibition in Prague's Carolinum in 1994,had 40,000 guests which was a deciding element in him returning to create his permanent base within the city.

Taking photos inside the Magical Grotto posed many problems as the illumination was reduced, but reflections of a flash from the paintings would spoil the shot so Iselected a slow shutter speed and managed to have some remarkable images using my Nikon D3100, even without a tripod.
