Mangalica Festival: Ready to buy

This annual festival celebrating the curly-haired Mangalica pig and Mangalica products took place at Szabadság tér, where the US Embassy is located. We missed it last year so I just had to go today after work, despite the fact that it was -10 C. Unfortunately, I dressed very warmly but forgot my mittens, so it didn't take long before my fingers felt like they were falling off. My husband would carry my camera for a while so I could put my hands in my pocket to try to warm them up then give it back to me when I thought my index finger could once again push the shutter.

Nikon D700 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/80s f/3.2 at 36.0mm iso3200 full exif

Mmmm, mouthwatering shot! It was cold for you fingers, Helen, but the image definitely warms up the hunger centre in my brain... V.

it's hard to take pictures wearing mittens :) better to be standing behind the counter with hands in pockets! a nice counter filled with food and great light! Nice shot! V!~

A fascinating candid image with all these details ad the eye contact with the young woman. Nice job with the exposure. "V"
