NX300 Explorations: Enchanting Architecture and River Views in Budapest, Hungary
June 18, 2017 By  Allie Roqueta With  0 Comment
In  Budapest  /  Europe  /  Samsung Camera

 

 

Hungary is full of beautiful architecture from intricate building details you can easily spot oh the street, to the impressive river vistas that stand out from across some of its famous bridges.

NX300 | 1/250 | f/6.3 | ISO 100 | 35mm The Fisherman’s Bastion

Black and white and sepia are a great effect to apply to ornate architectural shots. By removing color from a photo, the focus shifts toward the shapes, shadows, and gradients of a scene. With architecture, there is so much to appreciate in the details, and a lower saturation helps enhance these nuances.

Tip: You can easily shoot in black and white on the NX300 by using the Classic mode under the Picture Wizard option. Or if you prefer a sepia tone, you can set your camera to Calm mode and later adjust the saturation levels directly on your camera.

NX300 | 1/320 | f/5 | ISO 200 | 29mm Guardians of the Light

NX300 | 1/160 | f/5.6 | ISO 200 | 55mm A Relaxing Sunday on the RIver

NX300 | 1/40 | f/3.5 | ISO 1600 | 18mm Opera Metro Station

NX300 | 1/400 | f/8 | ISO 100 | 18mm Budapest Parliament Along the Danube

NX300 | 1/250 | f/7.1 | ISO 100 | 40mm Church of St. Elizabeth of the House of Arpad

NX300 | 1/320 | f/8 | ISO 100 | 48mm The Chain Bridge

NX300 | 1/80 | f/3.5 | ISO 100 | 18mm Inside the Opera House

One of my favorite sights from Budapest was seeing the bridges lit up at night over the water. Both romantic and enchanting, it was a perfect spot to just sit and watch the boats go by while also enjoying the twinkling city life on the other side of the Danube.

Tip: To capture the image below, I used the Night mode on my NX300, which creates brighter, clearer pictures in low light–without flash. It’s important to either shoot with a tripod or use a level banister or ledge to hold your camera steady and avoid any blurriness.
