Excercise: Evidence of action

One week ago I was countryside - at my cousin. We cutted a pig. It's a Hungarian tradition.

Heroes of my childhood

Two days ago, I met four astronauts - Bertalan Farkas, Viktor Vasilyevich Gorbatko, Valeri Nikolayevich Kubasov and Mikhail Vladislavovich Tyurin.

The meeting was exclusive, and the press did not participate. Was a great honor to personally meet with these heroes.

Viktor Vasilyevich Gorbatko

He was the member of Air Force Group 1 - like Yuri Gagarin! Ha was the commander of Soyuz 24 and Soyuz 37.

Valeri Nikolayevich Kubasov

He was the Flight Engineer of Soyuz 6 and Soyuz 19 - the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. This project marked the end of the Space Race. And he was the commaner of Soyuz 36 - mission of the first Hungarian in space.

Close & far

Few pictures, which contain impressions of close and far in Hipstamatic style. They are made with Photoscape. I add more blur the edges and sharpened the center.

Hipstamatic effect

I like the Hipstamatic style photos. Ok, I know - it's too cool :) But it add a new and interesting feeling for the simple photographs.

I find a great description for the Photoscape and I try it. I think the result is amazing.

A ranch in HDR

Today I visited a western ranch. While my daughter was riding - I made some pictures of interesting buildings on the ranch.

I used my Canon 60D in AEB mode, and selected +1,3 over and -1,3 under exposure. I made pictures without tripod. I used burst mode. The images were processed by Photomatix Pro and Bibble for post-production.
