Earth Hour 2011

Viktor Balogh — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 15:56:22 +0000

This year the worldwide “Earth Hour” event gave me a hint what to
shoot for the Limits equinox. They say that we are slowly beyond the
limits of our mother earth’s resources.

We consume so much energy that our earth cannot reproduce it. So
let’s just give a break to the nature for at least an hour, and turn off
all the lights for 60 minutes.

With all the floodlights turned off at the main buildings of the city it
resulted in a very soft scene to the capital of my country. I chose this
very place to shoot because I wanted to take a long-exposure picture
of our world-famous parliament and the lights turned off gave me a
chance to get some ships of long exposure on the Danube without
overexposing the building.

As you can see they only turned off the exterior floodlights at the
parliament. It was the same with the bridges: the street-lightnings
were left on not to disturb the traffic. However in the Buda Castle
everything was turned off as they organized a torch festival.

I added some small thumbnails of the most famous buildings of Budapest
for easier to recognize, you can find these at the bottom of the panorama.
Enjoy the lights!

Raday renovation pt. IV. – Living room

Viktor Balogh — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:00:33 +0000

A panorama from the 13th week again, this was made from the doorstep to the living room. There you can see our brand new front door, it has only 2 plies of ground coat. We will paint all the windows and doors next spring so we delayed the painting of this also to get the same colour for all the wooden seals.

As you can see the gas convectors are back, hopefully we can get back the gasometer the next week and can heat up the place to lose some vapour from the air. What’s left for this year: to lay the floor tiles, to set up the wall plugs and switches, to chisel the parquet, and to floor the loft with ash wood. Stay tuned, it’s almost finished, more panoramas are to come!

Raday renovation pt. II. – living room

Viktor Balogh — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 13:00:12 +0000

This panorama is also pretty old, it comes also from the 3rd week of the renovation. This will be our two-storey living room, respectively there will be the bedroom upstairs. In the corner where you can see the ladder leaned towards the wall, there will be a nice stairs and the upper slab becomes a light, soft arc. I can’t wait to move in again, hopefully they will finish it in december, before christmas. Look for the other panoramas in the “Raday_street” category, there must be some newer panoramas about the renovation!

This point of view wasn’t a right decision to take the panorama from, it has the same height as the slab and that’s why it seems like only a straight line and you don’t get the idea about space. However, here is another panorama made by that time, which was taken from the upper level. From there you have a decent lookout to the whole room.

Raday renovation pt. II. – kitchen

Viktor Balogh — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 13:00:49 +0000

This panorama is about a month old, it was made on the 3rd week of the renovation. As you can see, our kitchen was by that time pretty crushed. It was the initial stage of welding the steel frame together. There will be a bathroom upstairs, the door up there will lead to the bedroom.

Raday renovation pt. III.

Viktor Balogh — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 18:45:53 +0000

By the ninth week, the windows were already there, the door to the bathroom was also installed, and the slab of the bathroom is finished. Down under you can see the frame of the stairway half-way readied. The bedroom will be separated from the hall by glass bricks. The whole flat was designed entirely by my girlfriend, she also coordinates the construction and the procurement.

I gave a lecture about panoramic photography. I was invited to give a workshop at the
Urban 3D Modelling International Summer School. The study area was the historical town
center of Székesfehérvár (Alba Regia), the town where Hungarian kings were crowned.
During the summer school students could take part in keynote lectures, practical hands-on
exercises and fieldwork.
