Recent trips

Bory vár (13 April)
Soon...
Szilvásvárad (13-16 March)
Our hotel Szalajkaliget was a typical example of recently built "wellness-hotel": nothing special, but kind of OK.
Komárom (2 January)
Quick visit in Komarno, just to spend the rest of my Slovakian Koronas before their switch to Euro was over. Buying some beer and cheeese did the trick. More on that in my blog, if you happen to understand Hungarian.

Recent years

2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999

Some plans for 2009:

We plan a short trip to Balaton in the summer and another one to the sea in Croatia. We also hope to be able to go to Vienna for a weekend without the children. Otherwise there will be shorter trips throughout the year, hopefully.

Pictures:

Northern exposure

Digital Camera

I bought a digital camera (Fujifilm S6500fd, 28-300/2.8-4.9) this year (2007). I am uploading a selection of the pictures taken with this camera to a web photo album. Here it is:

picasaweb.google.hu/promontor65

First I was using kep.tar.hu to upload my images, but no pictures can be uploaded right now due to "maintenance" and after my query they just gave a no-info excuse without being able to give any deadline for the "maintenance", so I gave up on them. Still, you can see some older pictures there:

Film Camera (SLR)

The pictures below originate from the years when I was staying in Finland: a happy period when I had enough time to play with scanners and image processing software. Since my return in 2000, I have not been able to find enough time to scan and process my photos taken with my SLR camera bought in 1997 (Minolta X700; Lenses: Minolta MD 35-70/3.5-4.8 and Minolta MD Rokkor 50/1.4, this one I bought via eBay in 2003; Various films, usually Fuji Superia 200 or Kodak Gold 200). In fact, I have not even had the time to put them into a proper photo album. (That is why I decided to switch to digital.) This is a pity, as I have visited some beautiful places and I surely have some pictures of acceptable quality to show. Hopefully, sooner or later I will add some new pictures here. Until then, enjoy these oldies!
