Hi, everyone! Welcome to mybeloved.camera. I have been pretty fortunate when it comes to business travels. I shifted some of the work from the team in Budapest to India while ago. As my team expanded, I hired a couple of people in Prague during the pandemic. After two and half years after I hired the first person, I finally had the opportunity to travel to Prague Czech Republic. It was my first time visiting Prague, and I only had a few days to spend there. But I found some time to walk around the city to photograph this beautiful city.
Hi, everyone! Thank you for visiting mybeloved.camera. I had the pleasure of taking another business trip to Budapest Hungary in July 2022. This trip probably would be the very last trip I take to Budapest for business. I have shrunk the operation of my team there and moved to elsewhere over the past few years. Due to flight changes, I ended up with a free Saturday in Budapest. It was extremely hot and humid. There were a lot of constructions including the closure of Széchenyi Chain Bridge. But I walked around photographing familiar sites in a day light.

I have been going through my photographs and reorganizing/rewriting my blog posts and came across some photos from my first visit to Budapest. The reason I started photography was to capture the pictures of my kids and send them to my parents living away from me. But I have to say taking pictures while traveling, especially on my business trips was the reason I really got into photography. I have to say this trip back in March 2023 started all. Looking at my photos from 10 years ago was little embarrassing in a way. I realized how bad I was back then. Nevertheless, this trip was the beginning. It was the first time I really took time on my own to shoot what I wanted to shoot. By myself. Taking the time I needed to take.
Hi, everyone! Thank you for visiting my site. It has been a long time since the last update, and this time I wanted to share what I have learned shooting soccer games. Along with travel photography, I have been shooting soccer games for my sons' teams for the past several years. It has been a great learning journey, and there are several things I have learned. Here are some of the tips.
One of the cities I had the opportunities visiting several times in the past decade for business was Budapest Hungary. It is a beautiful city, and I felt safe enough to walk around by myself with my camera gear even at night time. My mission this time around (March 2016) was to shoot the city using Lensbaby 2.0 and also to take the Chain Bridge from different angles.
Thank you for visiting mybeloved.camera!!! Today's post has to do with the iPhone set up for photographers. As a photo geek, the only reason I started using iPhone back in the day was my desire to use Gizmon iCA case. However, Gizmon has not produced cases since iPhone 5, I was using "ugly" cases just to protect my iPhone. However, I finally came across a set up I was interested in last year. As I enjoy taking photographs with my iPhone as well, I would like to share my set up this time.

After 7 years with Canon 5D Mark III, I have made a decision to upgrade my camera. Not that I was not happy with Canon 5D Mark III, but I was intrigued by new technology (much better AF and image quality) and was fortunate enough to come up with some funds to invest in my hobby. While purchasing a new gear, especially a new camera, seemed fun, it was a lengthy process and many factors to consider. I wanted to share my experience making a decision on upgrading to Canon R5.

After COVID pandemic started in 2020, many photographers must have changed what and how they photograph with certain restrictions on travels and group activities. Some started product photography or macro photography where they can enjoy at home. Some learned how to use external lighting. I lost many opportunities of taking photographs because I mainly shoot my kids playing soccer and travel photography, and I spent most of my free time not taking photos, but editing my old photographs and looked at how I store my old photographs. It is a good practice to review photo storage options as many people take a lot more photos on smartphones, image sizes continue to increase, we need to adjust the methods and sizes of our photo storages.. How are you saving and storing your photographs? In this post, I share my photo storing practices.
