The silence of the exam period Photo

Photographer’s Note

The silence of the exam period

I took the photo which can be seen here on the middle of the exam period. The undergraduates' majority learn in the library or his room, but some undergraduates in the arcaded hall of the university main building, which can be seen here. I attracted the students' attention with the search of the suitable optic angle, because of this I left silently after the completion of the photo, which can be seen here...

History of the University

The University of Debrecen, like many other integrated institutions of higher education in the country, was formed on January 1, 2000 by (re)uniting formerly independent institutions. Its historical roots reach back to the foundation of the Reformed College of Debrecen (1538), of which three academic sections later served as the base for the Hungarian Royal University of Sciences, created by Statute no. XXXVI. in 1912. With this past of more than 450 years, the University of Debrecen is the oldest institution of higher education in Hungary with continuous operation located in the same city.
Higher education in agriculture began in 1868, when the National Higher School of Agriculture was formed in Debrecen. The University of Debrecen having 19,000 full-time students out of a student body of 29,000, and having more than 1400 instructors is one of the largest higher educational institutions in Hungary. Its 15 faculties and 21 doctoral schools undoubtedly offer the widest choice of majors and other forms of training. The quality of teaching and especially of research is indicated by the fact that more than half of the instructors have academic degrees, among them 26 professors are members of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Main building of Debrecen University (Debreceni Egyetem központi épülete)

The neo-Baroque university building was constructed between 1927 and 1930. Monumental yet intimate, the French-style landscaped park in front of it is the most attractive of its kind in town.
The impressive main building of Debrecen University stands at the end of University Avenue, an important route connecting central Debrecen and the Great Forest.
Entering through one of the enormous doors visitors walk up a wide staircase to arrive at the balustrade running around the formal inner courtyard. Stop for a moment to sense the atmosphere of this temple of science and meeting point of the university's bustling youth. Opposite the university library, names of famous people inscribed in the walls of the first-floor corridors commemorate the traditions of higher education in Debrecen.

Hello George,
A great capture of this lovely architecture. The vertical format is well chosen. I like the mix of straight and curved lines, which are nicely set off by the geometric patterns in the tiled floor. Excellent colours and sharpness. A splendid building well presented.

Hi George,
Wonderfull interior capture ! Very good pov and perfect geometry.
It's quite impressive. Most probably the majestic door at left on second floor is either the entrance to the rectors office or one of the main auritoriums.
Good and usefull notes as well.

Beautiful picture showing us the scale of this building quite well. One almost gets lost in its size. Both exposure and angle are perfect (looks like the search for that suitable angle did eventually pay off).

Hello George,

An architectural interior of a marvellous beauty. I like much the vertiginous point of view. I think that acoustics here must be impressive. A true privilege to be able to follow its studies in such a place. Well done George and thank you for the instructive note.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Bonjour George,
j'aime beaucoup ce cadrage en coin, la capture des lumières est parfaite, le piqué précis, une photo qui révèle les moindres détails de cette architecture aux teintes ocres et jaunes. Un POV ben choisi ainsi que le format vertical pour la photo.
Amicalement.
