View of Ayajin from Bongpo


 I like the clouds, but my attention keeps getting hung on the hook of beach at the bottom left. So I cropped it out:

But now there is almost so water, so the picture became better in one way but worse in another. I'll keep the picture on my hard drive, but I don't think I'll print it and it won't be going into any portfolio.

Wooden Platform

 

I had the camera set to Monochrome when I made this photo, but I switched to colour after I reviewed it a few times. The brown/grey of the tables is a contrast to the green plants.

This sort of table, or platform, is easy to see in the countryside. People sit on them to drink or have a picnic. These have a hole drilled in the centre, probably for a parasol.

Woman on Boardwalk

 

Yeongnang Lake, Sokcho.
Compose and wait. I framed this scene from the bench where I was taking a rest and waited until she was in mid-stride. By chance, and good luck, she happened to stretch her arms behind her as I pressed the shutter button.

Sangdomun Village

A trip to Sangdomun Village with my Nikon Z50II and F80. The film from the F80 won't get developed and scanned for a couple of weeks because of the upcoming harvest festival holiday. That's two days off for the lab just before the weekend and then they will be behind in their work. I can share the test shots I made with the digital camera and added film presets to in Lightroom.

Bicycle leaning against café wall.

Exterior wall of a residential property. 

Tractor next to a field of vines and weeds.

There are lots of cats in the village. I think this one was hoping for a handout.

Agricultural Songs Preservation Institute

This seemed more interesting when I was making the photograph.

Dancing Crane Pavilion

I usually take a rest at this spot in front of the pavilion. You can see the F80 on top of my bag. A moment later I took a picture of the Z50II on top of the bag using the F80.
