Royal Spring
April 30, 2008
SEOUL selected my snap of the changing-of-the-guards ceremony in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace for this month’s cover shot. Needless to say, I am pretty happy about that. I really liked the way that pic turned out. You can view the larger version here. The original is a little more vibrant. I tend to de-saturate my pictures – a technique I may have overused somewhat lately.
The photo below is from the magazine’s gallery section. I took that at Changdukgung Palace in a secret garden. It is absolutely beautiful during spring and summer. If any of you haven’t been to Changdukgung Palace make sure you do visit. Hands down, it remains my favourite among Seoul’s five grand palaces. You can purchase the poster format here.
