Something new for the blog today. A flash based panorama of Budapest. We’re under 40cm snow and more coming. I hope you like it. You can zoom in a lot, the photo is really high resolution. This is the best panorama I took holding the camera in hand. [...]

Amazing amount of snow at Budapest

Mice007 — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 18:23:39 +0000

I cannot really remember this amount of snow in the last 10 years… We have around 30-35cm how around here, today I took some photos of Perdi and the snow. She love playing in the snow but this amount was a bit too much for her and she was able to walk only on the [...]

I always liked Apple products and today I also curious and can’t wait to see the new stuffs but if the rumors are true about the new tablet (iPad or iTablet or iSlate, we will see) then I think this will be something I cannot imagine for myself… I have an iPhone already [...]

New year, big changes

Mice007 — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:28:02 +0000

Not just the dog and stuffs but I made a big decision about bluhour.com site. Due the lack of search engine hits I decided to fix a mistake I may made when registered the domain name for it. So today I registered a new domain and now the site is available under: www.bluehoursite.com. Of course [...]

The toy-dog

Mice007 — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 23:23:21 +0000

We rolled the idea about getting a dog in front of us for a while ago… but around the end of last year we visited a West highland white terrier breeder and immediately fall in love. (If you like dogs but don’t want to buy one yet… NEVER EVER VISIT ANY BREEDER!! ) so [...]

Mice007 — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:25:07 +0000

Yes! Finally I replaced the bluhour.com website to a brand new one. The look & feel is similar I made a year ago but now it has a nice content management system (drupal) int he background. What does this means to you? Well a lot! Now I’ll be able to put articles on the site about digital [...]

Very good photography forum

Mice007 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:28:47 +0000

I’ve found this forum yesterday during some googling. I recommend you if you’re interested in photography and in learning photography…or just to help others. They have pretty good contests, weekly themes, and article collections. Have a look at this community at: Photo Forum

Esztergom

Mice007 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:00:51 +0000

One of the oldest towns in Hungary. Estabilished around 970. It is only a hour of driving from Budapest so really easy to get there. Of course there are other options like a nice train or bus. I’d recommend everyone who travelling to Hungary to visit this place. It is easy to spend a full [...]

Few hours at Szentendre

Mice007 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:17:00 +0000

My mom had a class reunion in a restaurant at Szentendre. She asked me to bring her back to home when the party is over so I thought it would be good to have a walk there and to take some photos too at the most prettier part of this place. We were there for a [...]

Santorini – a beauty must see

Mice007 — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:04:21 +0000

So… finally a new post but from an old subject. We were in Santorini and Crete in 2005. Today I dug in my galleries on the hard drive and went through these photos too… and decided to put online some of them in a new post. If you did not decide where to go on [...]

We had a nice day in the castle

Mice007 — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:21:55 +0000

Finally we have good weather and also we decided to visit the Buda Castle in Budapest. The historical castle first completed in 1265. Buda Castle is famous for its medieval, Baroque and 19th century houses and public buildings. Buda Castle is part of the Budapest World Heritage Site. A few weeks ago I’ve bought a new pocket digital camera. [...]

iPhone + iTunes + ESET Smart Security + Vista

Mice007 — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:02:42 +0000

Well as an iPhone user I’ve upgraded iTunes to latest (8.2) version in order to make it compatible to the upcoming iPhone OS 3.0 update. Everything went fine, until the first restart. After Windows boot and log in it said I do not have any network connection. This was weird so I’ve checked all my cables and [...]

The new – old Szabadság híd or Liberty Bridge

Mice007 — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:56:25 +0000

The Szabadság híd or Liberty Bridge (sometimes Freedom Bridge) in Budapest, Hungary, connects Buda and Pest across the River Danube. It is the third southernmost public road bridge in Budapest, located at the southern end of the City Centre. The reconstruction work is finally done after a half year lag. It looks better than before, not [...]

Spring (or summer?) is here

Mice007 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:10:58 +0000

So I was a bit away from my blog because the good weather is finally here. Of course this is good for viruses too so I just got something but still alive. To celebrate the spring we went with a couple of friends to the Zemplén. This is a big national park in the north part of [...]

Discussion forum

Mice007 — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:50:51 +0000

I’ve opened a discussion forum under bluhour.com about night photography. I hope it will be useful and it can create a little user community around this site and blue hour photography. I think it is a good platform to share ideas, technical problems, and photos with each other. It is also a great way for beginners [...]

How to develop blue hour photos?

Mice007 — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:24:24 +0000

Taking the photo is only the first half of the process. If we have enough luck and good weather conditions the photo will be nice but it will also contain a lot of possibilities, especially if the camera supports and we used RAW file format. This feature is available in a few compact cameras but [...]

New design

Mice007 — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:25:21 +0000

I’ve found a nice skin for Wordpress today and just customized it a bit to fit my needs. I hope you’ll like it and you find using it more exciting than the previous one. Also I’m working on bluhour.com in the background. I’d like to put online the 2.00 version soon with some major web2 improvements.

Trip to Italy, part 4: Garda

Mice007 — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:16:43 +0000

I’m just realized that I still owe you with the final part of our trip to Italy. So lets see… first a few words about the place: Lago di Garda (or Lake Garda). It is a narrow lake in the alpine region, north Italy. The upper half of the lake is surrounded by mountains and [...]

bluhour.com updates

Mice007 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:26:56 +0000

Finally I had a little time to do some updates on bluhour.com. I received several requests about morning blue hours so I’ve added it. I’m sure I will need to test and fine tune this but I hope it is already accurate. Another major update is the mobile version of the site. Again, several requests received [...]

So let’s see: You need a camera (I’m using digital camera so I’ll focus on this in my guide) a good and strong tripod and of course a good place to take photos. The camera The three most common types are compact, [...]
