The design of the park was made by Hermann Sámuel, and the actual arrangements to build the park were made by gardener Mihály Buksa.

The artificial island in the middle of the park was made later, at the same time when the Restaurant Chios was built.

To shoot wide photos it isn’t necessary of using wide lens, we can also use a regular ones. The method to go with, is to attach more photos into one to make it wider. The best option to create this kind of photo is to set our camera into the portrait scene.

Enjoying the first snow of the year, like a child. When shooting portraits, a very important step is the attitude trough the subject. There isn’t enough to be a very good photographer, but a good psychologist as well, to help the subject feel relaxed, to get into the proper mood, to make her/him feel that’s the right place to be.

Sunny mornings are perfect for photos. For pictures during the night it is recommended very low ISO settings (100-200) for the highest details and less background noise, a tripod is essential.
 
[RO] Un efect foarte impresionant il dau reflexiile, deoarece creaza mai multe planuri de interes. Pe timp de noapte se foloseste timp de expunere lung, asociat cu trepied si diafragma mai inchisa, pentru a captura cat mai multe detali la o calitate cat mai mare. Pentru un efect cat mai puternic, trebuie cautat un unghi atins cat mai rar de alte persoane sau fotografi. Lumina are un rol foarte important in crearea culorilor in fotografie, din acest motiv trebuie asteptat momentul oportun care sa avantajeze subiectele.

If you are bored at work, sometimes improvisation can spawn some great ideas :) other times the result isn't so good.
 
[RO] De multe ori, cel mai important e sa improvizezi si sa actionezi inafara zonei de confort. Cea mai buna camera e cea care o ai la tine, deci nu e nevoia de aparatura foarte scupa pentru a surprinde cadre spectaculoase si reusite. Dar este important sa-ti cunosti aparatul foto sau camera de pe telefon, pentru a reusi sa surprinzi cat mai corect cadrul vizat. Desi majoritatea oamenilor considera numarul de megapixeli si puterea de apropiere a unui aparat sau obiectiv, cele mai importante caracteristici, de multe ori rezultatul poate fi invers, adica calitatea pozelor sa fie mai mica, cu cat se folosesc mai multi megapixeli si o dostanta focala variabila foarte mare. Acest lucru se intampla deoarece numarul mare de megapixeli duc la aparitia de zgomot in imagine sau lipsa de culoare, iar aparatele cu zoom mare au diafragme mai inchise ducand la lungirea timpului de expunere.
