2015.08.31~09.01 @ 용산, 한강 & 수원 [Yongsan, Han River & Suwon]

I recently invested in a wide angle lens for my camera. It's been treating me quite well. Here are some test shots from the day of and after purchasing.

Canon 6D with Samyang Fisheye Experimenting

6D with Fisheye
2015.07.05 @ 수원 [Suwon]

After one of my walks, I decided to test out my fisheye lens on my new camera. The lens is not made to be used on a full-frame camera, so it ends up giving some very interesting results. The shot is so wide that you can see the built-on lens hood in every shot. It can be cropped out, but I think these are kind of neat when uncropped.

The Big Chill 2015

The Big Chill
2015.01.31 @ 수원 [Suwon]

We don't go to the Big Chill very often, but when we do, we usually have a good time. When we arrived in late January, we were able to watch the exciting conclusion to the Asian Cup Finals between Korea & Australia. Unfortunately, Korea lost in overtime. It didn't stop us from having a very good time.

How to get The Big Chill:

Suwon Station [수원역] (Seoul Subway Line 1) - Exit 4

Go out exit 4 and follow this map, or you can take a taxi to Paldalmun and walk. You can tell a taxi driver this to get you close. It'll take you to the rotary that surrounds Paldal Gate. "Paldalmun ka-ju-se-yo." "팔달문 가주세요"

( Look for this building. )

Yongma Land - Abandoned Amusement Park in Seoul

Yongma Land
2014.10.11 @ 서울 중랑구[Seoul Jungnang-gu]

Awhile back, I saw an incredible set of photos from an abandoned amusement park in seoul, and I sent a great deal of time wanting to make the trip out. Ben, Andy, CJ, Ryan & myself had a little boys trip out to the park. Mr. Yoon charged us 5,000won each for entry, and we payed a little extra to have some rides lit up at night for us. It was a really fun trip, and I definitely suggest visiting.
