Gaeam-sa & Naeso-sa Temples

Yours truly is on-assignment in Byeonsan Bando National Park for the December issue of SEOUL.

The photo-taking was pretty good today — as usual, I’m reserving the best for the magazine, but as a bit of a preview (and because I like posting pretty pictures on my blog), here are a couple shots for your viewing pleasure.

Bodhidharma, Gaeam-sa Temple

French Marigolds, Gaeam-sa Temple

Living Quarters, Naeso-sa Temple

Door, Naeso-sa Temple

A Cup of Tea, Naeso-sa Temple

As always, you can check out those photos in all their 1,200px glory via the Flickr slideshow.

Oh, and a note about the photos… or at least the software I used on them. The GIMP team has released the latest version of their open-source photo editor. And it’s pretty nifty, especially if you’re in a PC room far from home (and Photoshop). Give it a try — you’ll like it.

    Award winning, especially the first, third and last. I could care less for the flowers.

    For these, I did a white balance, followed by a color enhance and finished with am unsharpen mask.

    You know, one could download your great shots and make postcards of them. Though it would be a bit more than what one gets in Insadong, your pictures make a difference. (Robert, check out moo.com)

    November 12th, foliage has peaked, and I think all the mosquitoes
    are dead now, finally.
