Fabulous!

Now, Fahim, any pictures of the Buda Castle or bridges or river views? BTW, what camera did you find most useful here and did you take people pics as is your custom?

Doug, Asher..thanks for your generous comments.

The trip was done with a D700 and a ZF 50/1.4. And Ayesha's D-Lux4.

Somehow, I do not seem to have that many ' people ' images..Come to think of it, I find it strange.

A previously posted image; reworked...

Yes, I remember this picture, That's where I fell down the steps in the very top of the Castle when the guard suddenly turned round and yelled at me that photography was forbidden!

Luckily, my Canon camera broke my fall and allowed me to clunk down until I was stopped by friction, with just the front of my 24-105 needing to be replaced!

Nice photo. We will be driving past Hősök tere tomorrow morning. Hopefully, with less clouds. The second pic looks like the Pest side near the chain bridge. We looked at a flat in that area recently but ended up finding something a bit further from the Danube. Still in the 5th, though.

Hi, Asher,

One of my favorite shots (can't find it anymore) from the 1960s is of of a guard in some large conference hall in Paris, a ways down a dark hall, running toward me waving frantically and shouting, "Non! Non! Le photographie c'est interdit!"

I think it was shot with my Yashica Lynx 5000.

Best regards,

Doug

Hi George,

How you keeping? Been sometime since saw you around these parts. Glad to see you though.

I liked my visit to Budapest. But can't say I am familiar with the city though.

Thank you for stopping by.

Fair to middling, just moved back to the city. Budapest is a treasure trove of photo opportunities.
