ELEGANT FLOW at the Rayong dam, Thailand by Anan Charoenkal
In the photographer’s words:
“In the rainy season, the Dam is used to irrigate crops. I used the wide angle lens (Nikon 16-35 F4) for my D700. The perspective of the wide angle lens makes the image look more elegant and powerful. I used a shutter speed of 30 sec. to get the silky appearance of the water.
The fishermen in the frame added a point of interest. Many shots were needed because the fishermen kept moving and were blurry in the image. This one came out just right. I decide to crop 1:1 ratio. This resulted in a classic look.”

Prague the city of towers on Great Atmosphere, part1
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. It is the fourteenth-largest city in the European Union.
It is also the historical capital of Bohemia proper. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million.
The city has a temperate oceanic climate, with warm summers and chilly winters.Prague has been a political, cultural, and economic centre of central Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its 1,100-year existence. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was not only the capital of the Czech state, but also the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire and after World War I became the capital of Czechoslovakia. The city played major roles in the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years’ War, and in 20th-century history, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
