Royal Spring

Seoul Selection selected my snap of the changing-of-the-guards ceremony in front of Gyeongbok Palace as the cover shot this month. 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. I’ve tweaked it a little. The original is a little more vibrant. I tend to de-saturate my pictures - a technique I may have overused somewhat lately.

You can download the May issue here. The photo below is from the magazine’s gallery section. I took that at Changduk Palace in a secret garden.

    I finally got the book when I was taking a stroll samchungdong this afternoon, I found the underground multi shop, seoul selection, I immediately went down in order to get the book your photos including in. when I opened the door, I was busy finding the book, now i finally got that book. yeah it’s totally amazing great job indeed, I’ve had an experienced that one of my photos almost selected but couldn’t go to the final, but I was so happy to be acknowledged from others. hmm well, I feel sad that the photos in the book are not good comparing with your original one but I am ok because I can see origianl ones and the rest of photos of the palace or else on this site. that’s why I am calling myself the luckest :) still need your autograph on that book. wish the urls of your forum or flickr was printed on the book so that many people can see your great work. all I can do for you is to give you compliment. anything else you need from me? as a friend??
