Scott, Erica and I had this song going through our heads all day.
This was up in Junju. Geoje Scott, Warren, Olli, Danial and I met up with a bunch of Hashers in Junju. Some of my Iksan buddies and a some of Scott's Seoul buddies met us there too and in the end about 20 of us hiked fairly drunkenly for 7km. The party moved on to a restaurant and then into the bars. It was a damn good time!

114|365 Zen Zone ~ Random
Theme: Random
My home is slowly evolving into the sanctuary I envision in my mind. Atmosphere has always been important to me. I like to feel comfortable and have other feel at ease when they come visit me. A home can say a lot about a person.
Now that summer is on the way I've removed the sliding doors to the greenroom-ish area of my apartment. Since day one I have imagined myself and my partner (whoever that may be :) sitting out there sharing coffee and reading on a sunny Sunday morning. Ivy will be hanging down from the cloths rack above out heads and there will be beautiful flowers and bush green plants all along the windows...
That dream is getting closer. I took a clipping of ivy and got that started last week. It's actually taking too! I grabbed a discarded sheet of glass from work and put it on the Tupperware crate I moved here with. Those two bulbs next to me will soon be in full bloom and the big vase of reed stems are the leftovers from the ones decorating my apartment. Total cost? Large vase 10, bulbs 5, pots 6, ivy 0, reeds 0, glass 0... total = 21 bucks. I think decorating on a budget is way more fun :D

113|365 Just Did It ~ Self Improvement
Theme: Self Improvement
The sweat is real. This is me JUST AFTER running 5.13km with my buddy/neghbor/coworker Scott. I'm not much of a runner, but these days I'm hitting the gym 3 times a week and trying to do a little cardio every day. We ran 5.13km averaging 11.73km an hour. Scott was totally holding back for my sake.
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. 11-16mm is way too wide for a full body shot. To get a decent shot I feel one needs an 85mm lens and minimum 10 meters space. I find full body shots harder to shoot, light, and make interesting.

109|365 Bad Day ~ Rain
Theme: Rain
It wasn't really a bad day, it was an excellent day because I did a proper shoot in the rain!
It was just pissing all day so I figured why not make the best of it and try shooting in the rain. It was a little scary bringing my DSLR and brand new wide angle lens out into the storm but luckily I had my Z-28 Professional Rain Shield by Como.
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. Even though it was heavy rain, it didn't show up well on the wide angle at low shutter speeds (I had to apply KaCey97007's texture - thanks for that!). Must experiment and figure out how to capture rain. I'm guessing flash and a high shutter speed...

The are certain protocols that simply must be followed upon the acquisition of your first super-wide lens; such as putting your brand new, pricey piece of glass inside the wet, damp, cold, sticky refrigerator so that others my finally understand how your fridge sees you.

This was by far my worst 365 to date. I was biking to the bachelor party and saw this farmer burning his grass. I wanted to get a shot standing in the smoke but by the time I was set up it had pretty much cleared. I got one shot off the whole day, and when I got home I saw everything about it was bad... the angle, lighting, color, composition, everything! So I threw on my own smoke texture, taken during my smoke theme, changed the layer blending mode and added some text. I think I saved it :D

092|365 Annie Leibovitz at Work ~ Learning
Theme: Learning
The book I'm reading is Annie Leibovitz at Work. My sister gave it to me for Christmas and it's the first time I've sat down and gave it a serious read. It's a biography, but there is a lot that can be gained from Annie's photos, stories, philosophy, methodology and insights into photography.
She really is a master at capturing the essence of a person on film, a skill I want to learn above all else. What surprised me was that she spent a minimum of two days and sometimes even months with her subjects getting to know them.
Perhaps this explains part of the reason I found my photo shoot for Modern English Studio difficult. I was working with people I didn't know, under tight time constraints, all were English teachers, not models, and they weren't being paid for their time. In retrospect, a recipe for unnatural photos.
Another thing that appeals to me about Annie's photos is that while the earlier ones were self admittedly lacking in technical ability, she captures interesting moments none the less. She always tries a new approach contrary to what the majority of photographers next to her are doing. I focus too much on the technical, and often forget to LOOK, to SEE what is going on around me. She puts people at ease, by taken their ideas and embellishing on them. I sometimes get too caught up with my own concepts and fail to listen to what my client wants.
So this photo is me trying to simply capture a moment rather than create one.

I've been coming across a lot of water drop pictures recently. Ronnie Rabena's gave me the push I needed to give it my first shot. The reflections you see hear are all real, the only thing I did in Photoshop was merge the 5 individual images together. The pink gradient backdrop is actually my skin from one of the images up close and out of focus. Oh, and I used a syringe because timing drops, with the proper focus, for a self portrait... it would have taken all night :)

1 Vivitar 285 HV @ 1/16 at about 11 o'clock with DIY grid spot aimed at my face, not at the drop. Used all 200mm of zoom on my Sigma + 3 filters to get the image as large as possible. I wish I had a proper macro lens!

Thanks to kodiax2 for Texture9564.
A bit of a funny story behind this shot. The first church I visited, Korean church goers kept coming over to me to ask where I was from, what I was doing and if I had time for coffee or dinner. This made it very hard for me, impossible in fact, to stand around wielding a huge cleaver. Everyone thought I was an extremely devout christian and just taking photos of their beautiful church :) So I ended up going to the church in this photo and by then the sun was long gone but, I like the darker image anyway.
