| Castle Hill, Budapest, Hungary © Doug Hickok When walking around Castle Hill of Budapest one morning, I was initially attracted to this scene by the warm yellow color of the old stone walls. But then I became intrigued with the open door, which allowed a glimpse through the dark corridor into a courtyard garden. It reminded me of Charleston and secret gardens hidden behind the facades of historic houses. And that made me think, you never know what's behind outward appearances. Quick take: Here's a link to a short article about shooting street photography with a rangefinder camera. The article opens up an interesting commentary/discussion on the pros and cons of film vs digital photography. |

ReplyDeleteSuch an important lesson in life...to look past the exterior into the depths.
ReplyDeleteVery suggestive photo, Doug! I also like to see what could be behind doors...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene, Doug. The partly open door makes it intriguing. Checked the link to the street photography article. Having grown up with the limitations of film, and being delighted with digital, I would never go back to the former, myself...
ReplyDeleteYes, Castle Hill! :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite places. I travel to the capital every year at least once to take some pictures there.
I also have some similar images like this nice one. I like the composition and vivid colors.
I like the composition you created with the placement of the principal items in your shot. Nice arrangement and fine capture of the great looking yellow.
