Photographic Tour of Warsaw in Poland
In June I was lucky enough to visit Poland for almost a week and had several photographic trips around the old Town. Warsaw was destroyed in the Second World War – dynamited and shelled to the ground, and in the following years, the center of the town was rebuilt using the same designs and techniques as had existed before. The old town now looks just like a typical old European city with an ornate town square and delightful colorful houses. I walked many miles around the old streets and probably saw everything that a tourist could see! I had planned to take a 4 hour photographic tour of Warsaw, but the tour was canceled on the evening I was free, but I think I made up for it using my own research and feet! The full set of photographs is online at BackyardImage but I have pasted a couple in below. My current plan is to create an e-book entitled “A Photographers Guide to Warsaw” which will outline a complete tour of the city of Warsaw, Poland with illustrative photographs of the main sites and hopefully save any future tourists from having to do the research I undertook. If you have any interest in this please leave a comment below. {Update – the book is now finished and available as a downloadable PDF entitled “A Photographer’s Guide to Warsaw”

This e-book sounds like a great idea. Any idea how you are going to price it?
It will be available as an electronic PDF for viewing on the screen or printing locally, and will be priced at $8.00. Initial title is simply “A Photographer’s Guide to Warsaw” as I think that says it all! I’ll add in some detail of restaurants I tried – Warsaw is a great, friendly, safe city to wander around and I hope future visiting tourists and photographers will find it an invaluable and useful guide to the city.
I like the idea. The maps are a nice touch, though I’d like more data on the map – maybe something that shows more then just the intersection. I was thinking an animated map as you moved from pic to pic – it would take you the same route over a map. Is there going to be an online version?? Seems like you could do more with web content then with a PDF… Nice pics 🙂
Great suggestions, and I really should think about an iPhone or iPad application for this where you could have the automatically created maps depending on where you were! This first version is for someone to print out and take along with them as they take the photographs themselves.
i totally agree – it’s a good idea (book and app) – there is so many nice places in warsaw!
