Winter Sonata is one of the most famous Korean drama few years ago. Since that people start notice this country.

On our first day travel in Seoul, we went to tour Nami Island. But so sad I have not seen the drama. So I have no idea what is it all about?

The Island of TREES

The island was a gift to a well known general by Korea king. After the general pass away, the island keeper plant lots of trees around the island. Sorry, I have forgotten what’s the name of the tree?

The tour guide told us not to stop during our way to the main scene. He said just 10 minutes WALK, but it is actually RUN for us. Korean ‘WALK’ really fast. Remember, when Korean tell you 10 minutes walking, you as a Malaysian should give it 20 minutes.

Winter Sonata Scene

Unfortunately it was Sunday, full of Korean having their family day there. So, I was unable to capture clear two row of trees (winter sonata classic moment).

Anyway, still have some good shots (i think). At least, you won’t see row of rainbow colors umbrella hung on the trees here.

The classic moment, two row of straight trees. Heard will be more beautiful when all leaves turn to red color during autumn. 10 minutes of WALKING doesn’t make me faster than these Korean ladies….

The island is not very big. You can travel one round within an hour or two. There are some shops for short break, take a cup of coffee or ice-cream. The ferry service to the island is fast and convenient too. Don’t miss it if you’re Winter Sonata drama fans.

It is not easy to snap photo of bird, even with a 200mm telephoto lens. Don’t say my 18-55mm lens, not even reach the edge of bird shooting.

The dragonfly photo below is my first insect photography. I shoot it using a normal 55mm kit lens. Fortunately the dragonfly don’t afraid of me at all.

It flew and stop on the plant. I get closer and closer to get the most detail photo. The best part is it don’t fly away even I so close.

It was taken during my visit in Korea MBC Studio (Dai Cheung Gum). Maybe the dragonfly already use to tourist around since it is one of the travel attraction point. Or some cold wind make it lazy to fly away?

I have took about 2000 photo with my Nikon D60 gear during travel in Korea Seoul last month.

This is my first travel shooting experience since I got DSLR. I carried the camera all the time except sleeping.

Our travel experience in Seoul starts here…

Incheon Airport give feeling of Art. Soft classical music and art decoration make me press down the shutter. It was about 7 o’clock in the morning but look at the strong sunlight, it is like 10 in the morning.
