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.

I took most of these night time photo while walking with my colleagues. For that reason, I did not have the opportunity to use a tripod and had to handhold resulting in high ISO and really noisy images. But for a toy lens with a fixed aperture of F8, it was not too bad and it produced images taken with a toy lens/toy camera on a film.
