EF 10-22 @ 12mm, F 5.6(click image to enlarge)
In time for the celebration of the pagan holiday Roman Saturnalia and Feast of Sol Invictus ( also called as Christmas by Christian fanatics ) where everyone is on a festive mood, i went out for a solo adventure trip. I think i deserve one. Since my Christian friends have their ways of celebrating it, then i guess i should do it my own way minus the rituals.
This time i visited the highly revered city of Busan, the largest port city in South Korea (fifth in the world), and Korea's second largest city. The trip from Gwangju to Busan took approximately 3 hours plus a few minutes. No nice sceneries along the way, good that i brought my iPoD with me listening to an audio book about the philosophies of Baruch de Spinoza, which made me more heretic and unchristian. By the time i reached the terminal in Napodong, i shifted the audio to the best of Snow Patrol. From then on, im a typical nice guy again (minus my bitches about the hypocrisy of life).
I took the photo above from the Busan Tower, which is a 120 meters tower sitting atop a 69 meters hill. Aesthetically, its a clone of the Namsan Tower in Seoul, but with a much more breath taking view. I was supposed to continue my trip to Gyeongju (capital of Silla Kingdom), but then to my dismay i realized i forgot all my Cokin Filters for my camera. Also the low temperature and wind is unforgiving, which made me think i should invest on a more sturdy carbon fiber tripod. The Velbon 888 that im using is heavy and unstable.
Nightscape in Busan as well as the Cityscape is awesome. A photographer's utopia. I'll go back for sure, with much more gear.
