I was recently in Vienna taking some vacation days. As soon as I walked in the door, security was looking at me. They wouldn't let me go in with my tripod, (they told me I could use it as a weapon). When they saw me sprawled on the floor taking this photo, they handed me back my tripod, and said it was okay for me to use it. I guess they believed I was only there to take some photos.
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. Great shot.

I like it! Some may comment that it is a bit "over-cooked", but I disagree in advance. I think it is just right for the subject. Love the surprising colors on the steps, and that the leaves are in sharp focus -- even at a 30 second exposure -- must have been no wind.
I'm glad you like it. I too thought is was overdone, but when I cut it back, I lost all the drama.
Walking in the Castle Hill district in Budapest just after the lights went on. Quickly set up for a long exposure set of HDR brackets. Longest exposure was 30 seconds, and the shortest 1/4 secs. Lots of crazy colours came out that I didn't even see.

I would rate that photo as one of the best I've seen on UHH.
Great job!
Thanks so much Frank. Glad you like it.

I am not familiar with Aurora HDR. How many exposures did you stitch together to create this image?
Aurora HDR is from MacPhun software. They have many editing programs. For this photo I took 5 exposures ranging from -2 to +2.
This is a night photo of the Chain Bridge in Budapest. New software used was Aurora HDR.
While visiting family and friends in Toronto Canada, I spent one afternoon exploring Centre Island.

You composed that beautifully! Wouldn't it be fun to take that photo every year as she grows up
Sounds like a great idea. Thanks.

Thanks so much Dennis. I'm glad you like it.
This is my favourite person in the whole world. Too bad I only get to see her twice a year, since I live in Europe. This time it was an outing at City Hall in Toronto Canada.
Well done. I like 3 and 4.
There are lucky charms everywhere
Forget the leprechauns, Budapest has all the luck youâre going to need. The Hungarian Policeman was built in the 1900âs to commemorate a certain officer who always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. This twinkle was due to the fact that apparently he loved two things in life: food & women. In fact, he liked both of them so much that he devised a way to flirt while he was eating â twirling his mustache at the ladies. Apparently this worked a lot better than it would today because his numbers were said to be in the hundreds. Today, if you rub his belly itâs said that you will be lucky in love, and if you twirl his mustacheâ¦well, youâll just get lucky. (Wink, wink.)
Photo processed using Aurora HDR Pro. This was my first attempt at the software.
Very lucky indeed. Wonderful city to be calling home now.
