Photo Ops: Alaska USA -Katmai National Park- June 2017

As a part of Christmas present, my father-in-law gave “guys” a salmon fishing trip together. This realized in June of 2017.

It was a great experience fishing salmon for the first time. It was also awesome taking some photos of the wild in Alaska.

Photo Ops: Shooting Budapest with Holga Lens Jan 2017

I had another opportunity to visit Budapest Hungary for work. This time, it was in January. It was cold, and we had little snow. Also, there were ice floating in the river. In this trip, I brought a plastic toy lens: Holga by Lomography.

A restaurant window. Shot with Holga lens.

I took most of these night time photo while walking with my colleagues. For that reason, I did not have the opportunity to use a tripod and had to handhold resulting in high ISO and really noisy images. But for a toy lens with a fixed aperture of F8, it was not too bad and it produced images taken with a toy lens/toy camera on a film.
