Looking Out to Sea

 

Chair Next to Lighthouse, Jangsa Harbour

Life Preserver Box, Sokcho

Yesterday I received a packet of 4x6 prints from the lab in Seoul. Browsing photos on a computer is fine, but nothing beats holding a picture in your hand. It's like the process of creating a photograph isn't complete until you can see it on a piece of paper.

Photo Notes: Both photos were made on my Nikon F6 and are from the same roll of Kentmere 400.

Beaches

 

Off-Season, Baekdo Beach

Beach Grass

I like beaches when they are chilly and deserted. Especially the small beaches of the Goseong County coast. It's like being at the end of the world. 

Yongchon CU Convenience Store

 

When I want to take a bicycle ride but don't want to go far, this is where I usually end up. The Yongchon branch of CU convenience stores. When the weather is nice, I sit at one of the picnic tables next to the building. When the weather is un-nice, I sit at one of the tables inside and have a tin of coffee while writing in my journal or reading. 

I'm too lazy to look it up, but judging by the 5:4 aspect ratio, I would say this photo was made using my Nikon D850. I straightened up the lines a bit before posting it here.

My Bicycle, Five Times

 I like to ride my bicycle when the weather is nice. I especially like to visit Yongchon because it's mostly fields and one sees more cats and cows than people. I don't always see anything new to photograph so I just take a picture of my bicycle.

Nikon Z50II. A light and convenient camera, but you can see in this picture that the kit lens distortion is pretty bad at wide angles.

Same camera and lens. You can see the distortion in the concrete shed, though it might actually be leaning a bit in reality . . . The only person I ever see on this road is an old lady who pushes her gardening tools around in a stroller.

Nikon D850 and AF 28mm 2.8D lens. I was lucky with the clouds. 

Back to the Z50II. This is next to Yeongnang Lake, which I pass on the way to and from Yongchon.

Hipstamatic app on my Apple iPhone 6s+. Sometimes I feel like throwing away all my camera equipment and just using the phone.

I haven't posted in a long time because I've had nothing worth posting. The weather is cool now, so that may change.
