Ryan’s Assignment
Oct 15th
My buddy Ryan was given an assignment from one of his teachers to create a marketing video. They get a higher score depending on how many hits their video gets. Check it out when you have the time!
Suwon Festival Parade Characters
Oct 15th
We finally made our way to the parade and it lasted a lot longer that I thought it would. The first part was more like a contemporary parade and then it concluded with a more cultural type of parade.
These pretty Korean girls were very popular with the crowd and probably the photographers as well
The rest of the photos are from the more cultural part of the parade. I took a bunch of photos and have already posted a few, but here are a few more.
This photographer was quite interested in getting a good shot of Derek and I. I would love to see what she came out with.
All in all it was a good day. I got to take a lot of photos and learned a lot.
Short Skirts, Horse Riders, and Foreign Students??
Oct 14th
This is the third part of my photos from the Suwon Festival. We moved on to the parade and set up near an alley. There were a ton of colorful characters in the parade. This was actually my first parade to attend in Korea, besides the cultural part of the parade it was not too different from a parade back home.
I really missed a lot of shots because of a slow shutter speed. I really need to get out of AV mode. I think that I also bumped my focusing distance on the 70-200 and got a few too many out of focus shots. Here are few of the better ones.
These girls were fairly popular with the crowd. haha Reminded me of when a cheerleader at the high school ,where I taught a few years ago, would play in the band at halftime.
I really don’t know if these guys were students studying in Korea or not. I joked that they could have been enticed to come to a parade and were tricked into being part of the show.
I gotta learn to vary my aperture, so that I can get a different depth of field. I have the same shot on all 3 of these guys.
