Viajé la semana pasada a Budapest, a la reunión de fotoblogueros europeos. La quedada fue un éxito gracias a la organización de Alfonso Paras y a los buenos oficios del amigo Balázs, que nos procuró una visita especial a la construcción de la línea de metro por debajo del Danubio. Pese a la crisis económica acudió gente de Rumanía, Suecia, Alemania y, cómo no, España, que fue la representación más nutrida con cinco participantes!
La ocasión fue perfecta para estrenar una nueva lente, la Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM. No suelo comentar cosas de equipos fotográficos, sobre todo porque no entiendo casi nada de tecnicismos, pero cuando tienes algo especial entre manos lo notas. Para fotografía de calle tiene una distancia focal perfecta sobre una cámara full frame, y la luminosidad del diafragma te permite salir tranquilamente a fotografiar de noche.
Past week in Budapest to the Europe Photobloggers Meeting. The gathering was a success thanks to the organizational capabilities of Alfonso Paras and thanks also to the excelent services of the friend Balázs, the Hungarian hostess. He organized an special visit to the new subway line under construction which crosses the Danube river. In spite of the economic crisis, there were photographers from Rumania, Sweden, Germany, Hungary and, of course, Spain, which was the largest delegation with five members!
I have to add that this was the perfect occasion to make the debut of a brand new Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM lens. I don’t use to comment gear because this photoblog intends to be that, a site dedicated to photographs. But this lens is something special, believe me, for street photo. Focal distance is perfect to catch everything on a full frame camera, and diaphragm aperture makes it special for night shooting.
Hi Luisa,
nice pictures here from our meetup!
Just a small correction to your text above: there were no Germans but two Austrians 😉
Greetings
Andy

Hi Birgitta, thanks for commenting!
Yes, I visited the House of Terror and it was interesting but I found there were few signs in English, you had to get those sheets with comments difficult to read on site. On the other hand, all presentations were a bit biased, «the museum portrays Hungary too much as the victim of foreign occupiers and does not recognize enough the contribution that Hungarians themselves made to the regimes in question as well.» (Wikipedia)
