This month I took some cool photos and I want share some of them. This time I publish a Christmas Tree that me and girlfriend bought more than a week ago. We already had Christmas in Székesfehérvár because of visiting our family at 25th and 26th of December. So we gave gifts each other on this Tuesday. And we already had decorated the pine tree. Now you can see the result, too. :)

Do you know where is the horizon? I made this photo at the last trip in the Buda Hills (watch last blog entry). There has been so heavy air pollution in Budapest that we haven't seen clear sky since end of October.  You still can't see those famous buildings of the city from the top of the hills.

I went for a trip with my friends last Saturday and I made this photo while we have climbed Buda Hills. The weather was a bit cold but the poeple could see beautiful leaves on the trees. And it is less than 10 kilometres far from the downtown of Budapest.

P.S.: my camera was a bit broken, the card cover couldn't close anymore. I had to bring it to service desk and they've repaired about two and half weeks. Many thanks for Olympus Hungary Team! Without them, now I couldn't take any photo anymore.

This is Lake Velence, situated not far from Székesfehérvár where I work. I wanted to take some photo at sunset. Because there was hot in the weekend (30 to 33 °C at noon), there was many people who swum and had some in the water. In the evening was the sunset beautiful, of course. But I didn't want to take kitsch photos that many of beginners could do. So, it's a solid but sweet sunset picture which I made for my blog.

This is the Old Town Hall in Bratislava, Slovakia. This building had been under maintainance for 3 years before we visited it. Now the walls were renovated - inside and outside, too. That's why I had to make some photos this July about this building.

The summer is still hot in Hungary but the Folk Dance Festival is over. Each year - since 1996 - you can see very exciting shows in the city center of Székesféhervár (where I work). This blurred impression is very sweet to me because you can create photos with less sharpness. But some detail is still sharp otherwise you don't know what do they do.

This horse (and their friends) can be found in a farm, in Cegléd, not far from my birthplace. The farms are getting popular again around the town. So, I could take very beautiful domestic animal photos in 2010, before this June. I only took my telephoto lens there (40-150 mm ,   f/4-5.6) and I really didn't need to use my flash gun all day. That was an easy exercise to me.

Hello Mr. Camel! I made that portait about this funny animal yesterday when I was in the zoo in Veszprém. with my girlfriend. There was very good weather in the town and we visited the interesting animals. I also wanted create nice pictures, some of them became great like this one. I spent more than four hours with one little pause.

When summer comes, the thunder is coming more times. This is great time to shoot in the evening flash of lightning. I made this picture with a tripod, 15 seconds shutter time and f/11. This time the ISO amount was 100 because the photo would be too noisy.

This is Castle Devin or Dévény in Slovakia (still the trip in Brno :). Halfway we visited this castle where it' used to be the border of Austrian Empire and Hungarian Kingdom. Now it's border of Slovakia and Austria. The ruins are now being a museum, you can visit it on a 80 meters high hill from April to November. It is only 13 km far from Bratislava, the historical center of capital of Slovakia.
