Hall of Gold Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Old Upper House Hall, where Hungarian parliament is held.

This is one impressive hall - so much gold covers everything that even though the lighting conditions are low, it is quite illuminated.

Hi Chen, I´ve been to Budapest many times and never made inside the parliament. Fish-eye lens very appropriate for this place. Very nice colors. The lights seem to be a bit overexposed. Anyway, it´s a photo I like :-)

Best regards,
Adrian

PS: how do you do the bold letters (in note) - which html tag/s do you use?

Hi Chen,

Very interesting with with that fisheye. For these kind of pictures such a lens is perfect. I not only like the light you have here, but even more those extreme distorted lines, they give a strong dynamic feeling inside the picture...i like this one a lot.

Regards,

Henk

Shalom, Chen -

Nice interior shot of an, as you say, impressive hall. I see why you used fisheye; you might try correcting that effect in post-processing and see if you like that better.

Best,
Dan

Hi Chen,
I agree with you that it is better do not touch the Fish eye effect, in that case. The High Iso on 20D is really excellent. I also visited Budapest but have not been inside Parliament.
Very nice.

Hi Chen,

Very impressive and beautlful hall. The golden tones truly enhance the feeling associated with this type of architecture. I am guessing you used a very wide angle lens here and it worked perfectly to give us a complete view of the place. Nice work :-)

HI Chen
The effect of the fisheye works well enhancing tha natural curves of the place, good sharpness being hand held but the lights are overexposed.
Have a nice day JY

Hello Chen
Wonderful use of the fish-eye...the accentuated curvatures especially of the benches look great. The richness of details in the ceiling & the walls make this eye-catching. Good work!
