Suwon Test Shots
2015.04.07 @ Suwon [수원]

I took a walk around my neighborhood. Then, I went down to Hwaseong Fortress with my tripod to try for some night shots.

Easter 2015

Easter 2015
2015.04.05 @ Erik's Place in Cheonho [천호]

It's become a bit of a tradition to have an Easter celebration at Erik's place. He always cooks, and all of his friends bring food and drinks for the group. It was a great day in Cheonho.

New Camera [Canon 6D]

New Camera Day
2015.04.04 @ Yongsan, Noksapyeong Suwon [용산, 녹사평 & 수원]

I finally pulled the trigger and updated my camera to a full frame, Canon 6D. After some research, I decided on an old L-series lens to save a little money. I ended up purchasing the 28~70mm f/2.8. This post and Thursday's are going to be pretty much unedited test photos. There will be very little in terms of a theme for these posts.

How to get to 주락 [Jurak] or our 고깃집 [meat house] in 북수원 [North Suwon]:
Hwaseo Station [화서역] (Seoul Subway Line 1) - Exit 1
Exit the station and get in a taxi. Tell them to take you to 마라도횟집 [Marado Raw Fish Restaurant] in 정자동 [Jeongja-dong]. 

This should get you there. It means, "Take me to Jeongja-dong Marado Raw Fish Restaurant, please."
"정자동 마라도횟집에 가주세요." [Marado hwayt jip kajuseyo.].
