I live west of Budapest along the Danube river.

I have loved photography for almost 40 years.

Photography is also part of my work, since as a development engineer I not only design machines, I also have to create brochures and publications.

This involves the use of many technical tools (studio flashes, digital technology, photoshop, etc.)

In my hobby photography, however, I like the exact opposite.

Most of the time, I only shoot on film, avoiding any kind of subsequent image manipulation. The picture must be taken on the spot. I choose a film suitable for the subject and use camera-lens filters, reflector sheets and usually 2-3 types of lenses.

Because of the many types of film, I often take 2-3 cameras with me.

I just scanned my developed pictures.

If I have time, I usually develop the black-and-white films myself.

My favorite photo themes:

- Landscapes (the big favorite)

- Interesting shapes (from regular to abstract)

- Buildings with interesting shapes

- And of course my family

My favorite photography films:

Color negative:

- Kodak Portra 400 (the warm colors)

- Kodak Ektar 100 (almost slide film-like appearance)

Black and white:

- Ilford Pan 400 (for contrast)

- Ilford Pan F Plus 50 (the precision)

- Kodak T-Max 100 & 400

Slide Film:

- Fuji Velvia 50 and 100 (the real professional)

- Fuji Provia 100 (slightly more metallic than Velvia)

- Kodak E-100 (I rarely use it, I don't know much about it)

Cameras:

My collection includes all Canon EOS SLRs produced between 1987 and 2004 without exception.

But I usually use the EOS 1V, of which I have 4.

My favorite lenses:

- EF 24-105 (the universality)

- EF 100-400 (also a universal, easy-to-use lens with beautiful colors)

- Sigma 12-24 (nice colors, slightly polarized light filtering)

- Sigma 24 art (mainly for making black-and-white low-light, wide-aperture photos)
