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.

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.

Passing Car

 

I noticed the three arrows in this scene on my way from the harbour to the high street. I followed the advice of one of my photographers Sam Abell and composed and waited. Several vehicles passed that didn't fit or were going too fast but eventually I clicked as this small white car passed. I was pleased with this one.

A Few From Seoul

It was too hot to do much proper photography while I was in Seoul last week. I mostly took snapshots to share with friends, but a few, I think, are worth sharing on the blog.

 

The bus to Seoul stopped at a service area for ten minutes. Enough time to use the toilet or get something at the convenience store, but not both. I chose to get something to drink and on the way back to the bus I noticed a couple of transport trucks hauling cars for movie sets. In addition to a Ford Granada V6 was this Opel Rekord 1900.

The neighbourhood of Itaewon is full of steep hills. It was too hot to go up and down them, so I took photographs from the tops of stairs. Itaewon is a foreign quarter and there are many international restaurants such as the Russian one advertised by the sign in the top left.

Riding the subway on my way to see a Martin Parr exhibition at the Seoul Photography Museum.

My hotel was in a neighbourhood full of construction and small industrial shops so the view wasn't very good during the day. But at night I discovered an interesting photo opportunity from my window. This picture was made handheld through glass, so maybe don't look too closely . . .
