Follow by Melaka Tallest Bridge night photography, I have captured more Melaka night scene in the town. Post up one by one for your eye viewing pleasure.

It is not easy to capture night scene saturated with car drifting light. Timing is vital. Set the shutter timer to 2 seconds to avoid button touch movement. Estimate when the cars will pass by the scene and shoot before the car lights are in.

I tried different settings and these are the most satisfied Stadhuy’s (Red House) night scene, without Photoshop ok.

Five to six seconds exposure is enough to capture car drifting light with sharp town lights. Longer time might get your photo over expose. I like 2nd photo the most, the lights are averagely saturated. Which one you like the most? Please tell me in comment below.

HwaSeong Fortress, an early modern military architecture that built 200 years ago. It is now listed under UNESCO World Heritage.

The fortress built surrounding the city on hillside. Bright sun with huge clouds are perfect for landscape photography. The Watch Tower on top of the hill.

Strong sunlight falling. Should take the photo with tripod and make HDR effect photo. Too bad no experience. Anyway, it still my favorite composition on Sky.

The carving art of Korea Palace similar to China palace. The fact is Korea was under the power of China ancient Emperor. In simple words, it was a subsidiary of China.

Don’t you think the carved word on the roof looks like Chinese word “禾”. Which mean standing grain, the daily basic food for Chinese – rice.

Hangang River Ferry Cruise is one the the best ways to enjoy the scenery around main river that flow through Seoul.

We went on evening, so have chance to enjoy the sunset. The cruise station just beside the tallest building in Seoul, Korea Life Insurance with only 63 stories. The building looks great when it turn to golden color reflected by sunset color.

Seoul is full of bridges along Hangang River. We manage to pass by about 5 bridges during the cruise tour. I’m too tired until slept on the cruise.

One of the best scenery taken after come out from the cruise. The lights and water reflection make the photo looks great! What do you think?

On third day in Seoul, we visited Kimchi School aka Dae Jang Geum Traditional Culture Center. There you have chance to learn last step to make Korean traditional food – Kimchi.

We didn’t buy Kimchi sauce because my wife know how to make. She learn from a Korea sister. After the short lesson, time to take photo. You can wear Korea traditional blouse for photography free of charge!

My wife in “HanBok” (Korean traditional dress) looks so sweet and pretty.

We travel to Korea Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Peace Park on the 2nd day. It was really hot sun. I think My Nikon D60 can’t perform well without a CPL or ND filter.

Anyway, we just have too little there. That’s the problem you follow group tour. We get some brief introduction on the Peace Park, snap some photos and that’s it.

The Broken Bridge

It is not exactly the DMZ zone, yet surrounded by watch tower and soldiers. Nobody can go beyond the fences.

There was a bridge connecting South Korea and North Korea. It was built to exchange prisoner of war. After that, they break the bridge and now become The Broken bridge. The wood of the broken bridge was use to build a short bridge in the middle of the park for people to remember their friends and family over the river.

As photo below, the land on the other side after the river is North Korea. We even can see buildings behind the mountain with eye view.

Not easy to take photo for the flying blessing when wind blowing. Fortunately my Nikon lens focus speed is fast enough!

One of the old market is ChunCheon JoonGang. Items here are much more cheaper than Seoul.

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.

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.

My first outdoor photography artwork. It is quite difficult for full time worker like me to take outdoor photo during daytime. Sky is always dark when I go home.

Last Sunday I manage to go out in the evening for some shooting at seaside. This is where the fishermen park their wooden boat.

The weather covered by haze on that day. No blue sky and clear view. I increased Exposure to make it brighter. But at the end still choose this one without additional Exposure (0 EV). Why? See next photo to get the answer.

Darker image could produce better feeling with “ink sketch” effects. Is it great if print out the ink sketch version and sell in art gallery?

I use Paint.Net to apply the effect. No extra work, the effect just Great!
