Yongsan Station at Night/Photo & Travel Links

DSC_2302

One of the frustrating things about Nightview is that so many of the shots are taken in hard-to-reach, undisclosed locations. This spot, however, is easy to reach.

Deoksugung Palace

We had some snow and cold weather recently in Seoul. Sadly, I didn’t get much time to photograph the snowy scenery, but I did run over to Deoksugung one lunch hour to shoot the winter-white palace.

The photo above was taken from a point that is obviously somewhere near Myeong-dong Cathedral on Sunday. I initially went to the UNESCO Building as I’d heard there’s a roof garden up there [...]

Dongdaemun History & Culture Park at Night / Photo & Travel Links: May 28, 2011

Dongdaemun History and Culture Park

Got my sensor cleaned — no, that’s not some crude sexual reference; there was serious dust on my sensor — at the Nikon service center in the Korea Chamber of Commerce Building in Namdaemun today. Had some time to kill in the evening, so I swung by Dongdaemun History & Culture Park to take some [...]
