Yeonggwang

Navies of fishing boats docked at the harbor. This shot was taken using a Cokin P122 Graduated Blue filter, resulting to a darker hue of the sky.

Rock filled coastline of Yeonggwang, after sunset. This is the most difficult shot of the trip. Exposure was set to 30 seconds, and the lens was equipped with an ND8 filter that gives me 3 F-stops light reduction. Aperture was set at F8, and camera was on Velbon 888 Tripod.

Yeonggwang Nuclear Power Plant at Night. Exposure at 30 seconds, with an ND8 Filter.

Fisherman and the Sea- this shot was taken using a Cokin Graduated Flouro Red filter. I was waiting for this guy to throw his hook on the water for a better silhouette, but i waited in vain :(

A long exposure shot of the beach, minutes after sunset. Same settings used as the previous photo on the same subject.


All these photos were taken during y visit to Yeonggwang, a coastal town 1.5 hours drive from Gwangju. The town is known for its sunset and also because it harbors a Nuclear Power Plant for the Jeolla region.
