I finally got my films from Hungary developped today. I’m obviously not going to post all of my pictures since there are 308 of them, but I will post some of the highlights and better shots. I also have a roll of film still in my camera (in particular several shots from the Budapest International Wine Festival) so until I finish that film and get it developped you’ll just have to wait with (un)bated breath.
If you want a brief description of where I took the pictures below, what they are etc., just click on the picture – rather than typing out explanations in paragraphs I just attached a description to the pictures themselves. By clicking on them you can also see a slightly higher resolution version.

Nick great photos ! I’ve never been to Hungary but now I’ll have to put another country on my ”to visit” list ! Love the Pools.. Don’t u use a digital camera?
Hi Lillian, thanks! Hungary surprised me, not that many people go there (partly because English isn’t widely spoken outside of Budapest) so I hadn’t heard much about it before, but it was actually a very good trip with loads to do. I was just looking for a nearby destination for a short and cheap trip and Hungary fit the bill.
As for the pictures, I do have a digital camera, but only a small point and shoot type camera which I use for most of the pictures on my blog when the subject is usually more important to me than the quality or the photography. But when it comes to something like a holiday I prefer to use my film SLR camera, which is what I used for all of these pictures. They were then scanned when I got them developed.
I’ve got myself some favourites: The old lady on the bench, the train station, the paprika strings, the grape seller, the lion door handle (I love small details…), the boot slapping guy, the cat in the window, the chess players, and the inner dome!
The padlock tradition exists in Russia too. On a bridge in central Moscow there’s a bunch of padlocks and colourful ribbons
Hi Sara, the grape seller and the men playing chess are personal favourites of mine as well… I’d never heard of the padlock tradition before, but have to admit I kind of like it – as long as it’s not my fence/gate people are attaching them to!
