My picture gallery of Budapest - Hungary Photo Tours

You’ll find images of Budapest, the capital of Hungary in this gallery. I took all of these, but I guarantee you that you’ll be able to take similar pictures if you attend my night photo tour.

The principles of nighttime shooting are very easy, and once you understand them, shooting will be fun! 🙂

You don’t have to have an expensive camera… Any camera will do that has Manual mode.

Photos of the Chain Bridge:

Chain Bridge, finished in 1849 is an iconic bridge of Budapest, which makes it appearance on almost any shots of Budapest!

Chain Bridge and St Stephens Basilica from the funicular in Budapest

The geography and traffic around the bridge makes it just ideal for making long-exposure lighttrail shots.

I have a detailed tutorial on how to merge lightstreaks together with stacking technique – no need for an ND filter!

Chain Bridge Clark Adam square roundabout at night lighttrails

Lighttrails at chain bridge — The infamous lions of the Chain Bridge in Budapest. You’ll hear the story that the sculptor committed suicide after he was publicly ashamed not sculpting tongues for the lions. Good story – except it’s not true. They have tongues, and he didn’t commit suicide 🙂

Pictures of the hungarian Parliament:

Budapest Parliament with reflection at night — My all-time favourite photo of the Parliament. I’m not a B&W fan, but with this one, I prefer B&W
