Budavar Palato (the Castle of Budapest) : so much hype !

for those who would still be NOT following me on 500px (!) here is the link: https://500px.com/thomaslaunois

I finished post-processing all my photos from all last trips !

So here are the 2 latest additions with the "Budavar Palato" (hungarian version) or "Castle of Budapest" for us.

As soon as I posted it, it rocketed into the "popular" section of 500px: the snowball effect seems heavy by now on my account, which makes me happy, since it means more views on my work, but also more shares and spreading ! 

 

Have a good day looking at photos, or being inspired doing some and post-processing some yourselves !

One shot from Budapest : such a nice golden hour

I had a great time in Budapest last month. I really enjoyed being there especially to capture this scene with great lighting :

My opinion on YesYouLearn

Hello all !

6 months ago, I have been contacted by YesYouLearn, which noticed me since I was doing tutorials on "Microstocks" on Youtube.

Here is my feedback after 6 months :
After I contacted them back, I loved the ambiance of the start-up that they were launching and their project : gathering all the best e-learning training on 1 site.

I accepted to do the "microstock" lecture for them, and did my best ! (3months working on HD video productions, up-to-date and well organized). My girlfriend helped me a lot to also broadcast an english version.

So I went all-in in the project and the english version is here !!!

Have fun, and good luck selling your art and photos !!
