Today’s warmer weather takes back the sun to the blog as well.

Dreams

There are some special places you dream to photograph – like MÜPA.
MÜPA is Palace of Arts in Budapest, Hungary. Internationally known as the main hall have amazing acoustic.
It is a dream for a musician to play there – and for me to take pictures.
I was lucky and I shot 2 concerts this autumn!

Kriszta & Gábor had prepared with a small dance performance for the the ceremony. So no question that they have looked for me :)

Flashmob again

Last year I was documenting this event and I had to finish this project.
So last year I captured the moments of the trainings, preparation. However I wasn’t there when they performed in open spaces, crowded squares.
This year I could be at one location (they performed it 3 times). Getting better year-by-year :)

Really simple – part 2

Here is the second part of the “average day”.
As I’ve written I was fighting keeping things simple. Here I lost. I could help looking for something special. That was a scoring moment. That we have repeated several time to capture the right expressions.
It was good to see that the players enjoyed it as much as me!

Leaving the park

End of the London Park series.
London never stops however you can always find peace in its parks – hope I can share this feeling with you!

Drops of joy

These small drops caused me big joy – hope to you as well!
I went to London for photographing an event. I’ve arrived earlier so in case of any delay, missing baggage I have time to solve the issue. Luckily nothing has happened so I had a free day – great to hang out in a big London Park. I think it was the Hyde park.
Really enormous. Logical that a really small topic grabbed my attention. A tap with a partly connected rubber tube. The sun was shining, water drops were flying all around – any my camera was clicking. Perfect afternoon!

Warm up

Snow is perfect to express cold weather. Can we alter its meaning?
I wanted to continue shooting pictures of the frozen city however the weather made up its mind and within a day it changed completely. So I had lots of sun. That did alter the view into a cozy warm outlook.

Border

We have arrived to the border between winter and spring. Sometimes it is snowing, sometimes it is shining, however in some week the warm weather will take over.
So for a while these pictures will be the last to show the sign of winter. This year was a really cold one, so we had ice-float on the river Danube. It is quite rare nowadays so I grabbed the possibility and run to the river.
The pieces of ice-floats were moving with the river – except the ones really close to the shore. Some of them stuck because of the bridge stands.
I shot both pictures with long exposures. Meaning 10-30 seconds. So everything moving is blurred. So we have a clear view of the border between moving and standing.
