This is one of my favourite nature spots in Korea. Each time I go

hiking at Juwang Mountain along the South Eastern coast area of Korea

I make an effort to visit this enchanting place. The trees growing in

the lake are unique and really cool. Even though the rain was pouring

down, my clothes soaked and camera about to malfunction, I still

managed to spend an hour here admiring the beauty.

Comments welcome...

One of my favs from 2006, an extremely high detailed capture of the

FPSO(floating production, storage and offloading) vessel parked near

my apt at the Hyundai Shipyard. The engineers were pulling another

all-nighter because the lights were on at 1am when this shot was taken.

HDR processed.

Here, the elders look upon a young girl as she learns the proper

technique of traditional bowing before she can turn it into an art

form. The beauty of the hanbok has been the Korean people's unique

traditional costume for thousands of years. Today, the hanbok is worn

on days of celebration such as Chuseok.

Trapped in the middle of this apartment complex, all I can do is look

up and snap. Hope the chosen POV won't make you dizzy.

I couldn't resist taking this photo at a wedding reception. Had the

B&W/selective colour in mind before I shot it. Hope you enjoy it.

Catching the last rays of light, Mr. Hopper here welcomes the passing

of yet another summer day.

The rainy season brings out the green in things...

Follow the path and it will lead you to that mysterious lighthouse...

Street markets are a means of economic well-being for a large

population of Koreans. In my neighbourhood, they set up market at

least once a week and then migrate to a different neighbourhood the

next day, so on and so forth.

In this scene the umbrellas really caught my eye as they bunched up so

closely together to protect the vendors from the glaring sun. I waited

for a pedestrian with an umbrella to walk by to add an extra element

to the scene.

Trying to avoid distrating the viewer too much with a multitude of

different colours, I converted it to B&W for simplicity sake.

Feedback welcome...

This was from a native indian performance in Korea. I absolutely loved

their music so I stuck around and snapped a few shots. This one, the

cheif was doing his warrior dance in front of a decent size crowd.

Decide to go with black and white cause that is how I pictured it in

my mind when I took it. Comments welcome..

It was a moody night with gloomy skies and the moon looming in the

background. Decided to look for something interesting to shoot that

would fit the mood. Walking around my neighbourhood I finally found

something decent, a church. Conments welcome...

This is from Buddha's Birthday in Korea. Hundreds of people shared

hands with all the monks in the event of lighting the lanterns in the

main courtyard of a famous temple which lasted over 30 mins. Comments

welcome..

Trapped in the middle of this apartment complex, all I can do is look

up and snap. Hope the chosen POV won't make you dizzy. I was trying to

be creative with my ultra-wide lens that day. B&W conversion via lab

colour in Photoshop. Adjusted curves and added a hint of blue to

remind myself what a cold place it felt like.

I caught a good sight of these apartment blocks from my hike up a

local mountain over the weekend. Looking at the photo later on my

computer screen I felt a bit dizzy, enclosed and unable to escape the

sensation of claustrophobia.

These are pillars of a bridge I frequent quite often. I decided to go

with the square format to make the photo a little more symmetrical

with the objects in view. They look interesting enough so I might go

and try a few different angles next time. Comments welcome...
