1. Koreans really don't like it when you spell out "Happy Birthday" with flour on the rocks at their sacred locations. I think they thought it was paint :P

Theme: Random
Good party Sunday night. Bad dishes Monday morning.
I've been super busy with final tests, grading and such this week and thus not able to spend as much time on pics, replying to comments and surfing your streams : The frenzy should end by Monday...

116|365 Sunday Night Dinner Party ~ Random
Theme: Random
After us boys got back from the hash we decided to throw a little dinner party at my place. It was an interesting mixture of cheese, wine, olives, crackers, potato wedges, fried onions, hot-dogs and karaoke :)

115|365 Jizzed in my Pants ~ Random
Theme: Random
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!
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. ISO 1800 quality looks way better on the camera LCD than on the monitor :)

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.

1 Vivitar 285 HV @ full power at about 4 o'clock shot into a reflective umbrella positioned at about my shoulder.

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...

108|365 Dog Cam ~ Wide Angle Protocol
Theme: Wide Angle Protocol
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "Wide Angle"? Pictures of dogs sticking their noses in the camera of course! This week's theme being both wide angle clichés and 365, I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and play the part of the dog... it wouldn't be the first time ;)
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. Wide angle is most definitely harder to compose and seems to need more light.

107|365 Fridge View ~ Wide Angle Protocol
Theme: Wide Angle Protocol
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.
I'll be churning out the wide-angle clichés over the next few days to pay homage to the Gods of Wide and to get these damn images out of my system!
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. A cork works as an excellent lens support on a Canon 350 D

107|365 Chin Strap ~ Random
Theme: Random
Tried my first chin-strap ever and man was it tough. I spent a good hour trying to get straight lines and just kept shaving things shorter and shorter. Eventually I just had to stop and give up if I wanted anything to be left of it.
--- Lessons Learned ---
1. Beer makes an excellent gel
2. Start with the bottom edge of the chin strap and then shave progressively shorter from the top until it looks right. Leave the goatee large.

1 Vivitar 285 HV @ 1/4 at about 2 o'clock fired into a reflective umbrella. Another Vivitar 285 HV @ 1/4 at about 6 o'clock behind me shot through a glass of beer and then tweaked a little in photoshop.

I had to wait at the bus station for four hours after the bachelor party, all the tickets were sold out for the earlier buses. I found out really quickly that Shinsege Department Store doesn't like you taking pictures. They wouldn't even let me shoot pics of giant cosmetic
Apologies to the creator of this texture, I lost the link to your work. If you find this let me know!
