35 - Night

I wanted to shoot a night picture of the new National Theatre (built in 2000-2001) for a long while, but somehow I never managed it. This week's theme was a good indicator, so I went there with my tripod:
Another night related favourite of mine is star trails. I tried to shoot once, but there's a room for improvement:

34 - Movement

Although I'm not a big fan of Formula 1, I must say there is a special feeling when you are there and hear it and smell it live. I never watch it in TV, but I visited the Hungarian Grand Prix 4 times during the last six years. Of course, it is partialy due to my son, who likes it very much.
One can not find a better place to shoot movement pictures than a Formula One race, so I tried it this year and prepared ahead for this weekend of our photo contest. Obviously my equipment is far from excellent for this purpose. I shot these @200 mm and 1/100 second. This is the last turn, entering the home straight. At this point F1 cars are driving around 130-140 km/h and start to accelerate (to speed up and reach 290+ at the finish line).

I tried to find the best monochromatic solution between simple b&w and sepia to match the mood of this picture, because I felt both of those too extreme. Hope you like it...
Just for comparision:

31 - Macro

As I mentioned I'm on vacation and have no access to web, except my mobile. Anyway, you can remember that I prepared a macro shot a few weeks ago. Now I'm uploading that one:


This week I shot a few other macros, so I'll upload them next week.
