Szent István Bazilika

Hungary

While having a late lunch at Street Food Karavan we bumped into a British couple who recommended we visit St. Stephen's Basilica, an architectural keystone of Budapest and the third largest church in Hungary. It was a 5 minute walk from our hotel, and an ideal opportunity for me to try out my new Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM ultra-wide angle lens.

The weather outside was grim, so the view from the roof wasn't as spectacular as I'd hoped it would be, but the impressive interior proved to be a great practice subject for my new lens. And practice is exactly what I need! I've never used an ultra-wide before, so my composition and alignment in most of the pictures below is pretty appalling.
