My daughter and I arrived to Hungary a few days ago. We will be visiting friends and family in July, and I will be taking lots of pictures!
We spent the weekend with my brother at the Balaton Lake. The weather wasn’t good enough for the beach, but it was perfect for taking a long walk. We toured the area after a huge thunderstorm.
I used the Burnside 35 exclusively during the walk. Since I had company, I didn’t record all the data for the images, but all of the pictures were taken with F2.8-F5.6 apertures.
For those of you who don’t like to do post processing, I will show the straight out of the camera pictures first, and the second image will have minor edits in Lightroom.

Right before we entered the small forest area, I stopped at this train tunnel. I felt that the topic was perfect for the lens (largest vignette used).


It was dark among the trees and quite humid. I had to crank up my ISO, and I kept the aperture pretty open. The image with the leaves is a good example of the swirling action around the main subject.

After the brief walk in the forest we reached the beach, where I found this small marina area. I took images with all the vignette settings, and I’m showing you one with a small amount of vignette, and one with the maximum. I prefer the second one, because it draws my eyes into the middle of the picture. (The second set is edited.)

Less vignette, original image.

More vignette, edited image. My favorite.
Soon the Sun started setting over the lake. (High vignette.)
I am only sharing the edited photos of my last topic of the day: European Red Slugs. They were all over the place; on the sidewalks and on vertical surfaces as well. Although pretty harmful to the vegetation, they were great subjects for my photos. All F2.8, largest vignette, high ISO (due to the dark surroundings).​Thank you for coming on the tour with me.
