We had quite enough of the photo course. We were able to learn a lot, and the teachers were fairly good professional photographers. Their course-keeping skills, however, got worse and worse each weekend. There was a small group of students, spoiled bullies who always felt themselves above the tasks given by the teacher. They always [...]
Very little room (and time) for creativity, and a lot of useful bits of information — that was the balance of today’s photo course.
This day was about the light modifiers — reflectors, grids, umbreallas, softboxes and dishes. We had to make photos on the entire scene, and two closer ones on the models to be [...]
Since there is very little time for actual practice at the photo course we attend, we have decided with V. to rent a studio and see what we can do on our own. We took two of V.’s friends (Ildi and Yza) with us as models. V. had some previous experience with both of them and [...]
V. and enrolled to a photo course focusing on studio photography. The first three lessons was about lighting. Earlier I had the opportunity to work in a studio once or twice. I never adjusted the light myself; but by assistant provided by the studio. Here we could learn everything from the basics; how to choose [...]
During the holiday we made one more photo project: we decided to take pictures on a toy seal, Pufóka on and in her igloo built by me and V. (The process of building could even be an entire post in itself, since the snowflakes didn’t stick together. So we built a large mound of snow [...]
We decided to check out the frozen lakes in daylight, too, so we went for a short walk and made some photos. Unfortunately, I was not really in the mood and I was really cold, too, so we just walked around the smaller lake. However, the task is done.
This is the most interesting photo from [...]
I spend the end of the year at V.’s parents’. At last I have time to catch up with my things. I have many letters to write, many software to try out. I also barely had time to make photos lately. Fortunately here I have the opportunity to test myself at special circumstances.
One evening we [...]
Today morning, seeing how beautiful the weather was, we decided to go for a walk. We had our usual weekend breakfast at the park, and then headed to the Castle District. It is one of the most spectacular districts of Budapest, beside being also one of the oldest parts of the city. Originally only the castle and [...]
I haven’t been to Aquincum for eighteen years. We were taken there as an after-school activity; I remember being simply amazed by the sight. Back then, it was the largest ruin I had ever seen; as a kid, I was also a fan of Ancient Rome. I have read every book about I could place [...]
The photos made at my sister’s wedding are finally, finally ready — I never thought it’s so hard to be a wedding photographer. When Bori asked us for the job, I thought it will be a peace of cake — everybody is willing to be photoed and there will be plenty of nice moments to [...]
