Not a very colorful sunset

Comparing to my recent photos, this one is not so colorful. But as the sunset when I took it wasn’t colorful at all, I had to add a lot of saturation. For those interested, this is the Liberty bridge in Budapest.

Capturing the Moon

From all the places I visited when I was last time in Budapest, this is the last one of which I haven’t uploaded any photos yet. The Széchenyi thermal bath looks great, but the combination of yellow lights with yellow buildings gives me a headache when I’m editing the final HDR. It’s just never exactly as I would like it :) Actually this is the forth edit of this photos. The first three I did in the last month I deleted afterwards. But I try not to give up on photos I like and go back to them after a while, and try again.

A sweet place

Cafe Gebreaud in Budapest is a great place for everyone who likes cakes and coffee (not really for me, as I don’t drink coffee that much and don’t eat many sweets :) ). And together with the great atmosphere there it’s no wonder than it is quite popular. No people in this photo, as it was taken few minutes before they open :)

This would look much better if I took the photo few minutes later. But as I was on my way to the bridge (the one on the photo yesterday), I only took few photos and moved on. There was really a short while, when the street light were still on and the morning blue hour had already enough light. And for that time I wanted to be by the bridge. Btw. as you can see, the tower on the Hungarian Parliament is not lit, as they turn it off during the night :)

I almost lost my lens hood when I was shooting that morning. I still was a little sleepy (I got up at 3:50 after a 4 hour sleep) and I haven’t noticed that the lens hood is not correctly attached. And as I moved to a new spot, it fell of and started rolling towards the Danube. I actually caught it after it went over the edge, which was almost quite stupid of me, as I few centimeters more I would be over the edge too. One really has to be careful :)
