Danube moments
This mighty river is the artery of Budapest. Visitors are drawn towards it, at all times of the day. From dusk to after nightfall, it is especially alluring.
I found its bridges framed by a dramatic winter sundown, while traffic streamed across the Chain Bridge after darkness had fallen.
Clamber up Castle Hill, and you can see the city set before you. The iconic Hungarian parliament building stands out like a magnificent birthday cake, while just beyond the river bank in Pest, St Stephen’s Basilica looms large in the night sky.
Many good reasons for walking around the city with a tripod slung over your shoulder…

Wonderful images, love the colour and the lights but the B&W would have to be my favourite.

Thanks very much, Richard! Yes, he certainly did :-) Some of these buildings are so intensely illuminated that you can capture them hand-held with a quite short exposure.

Fantastic series Mike…..you were certainly blessed with some great skies, but you still have to make the most of them, and you certainly have.

Cheers Mark, I really appreciate that. Yes, it was quite a spectacular dusk that evening. And Budapest’s night views are pretty beautiful. I’d highly recommend a photo trip.
