A hike in the mountains in Seoul

A few more older images from Korea.

These are from a hike in the mountains in Seoul during November. Quite cold and we had to watch for ice on the track.

Beautiful shots. Really like the light and colors in the first one.

G'day Alan

Beautiful scenes for us matey -- for icicles like that in #4 it must be damn cold at night too

Thanks Phil. It was about -1 when we started the hike and can go down to -20 or below in winter, but this was only November.

Beautiful photos Alan. Colours in all are great but #1 stands out. #4 is a gem with good clarity and contrast. 1/40th was a good speed to get the water look and you got a good background to shoe off the hanging ice.

Thanks Isac. I'd only given #1 a very basic process and crop, and only now came across it and reprocessed it to bring out the light and colour. With #4 it was a matter of balancing shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Today I wouldn't hesitate to go higher on the ISO if required.

[Isac]

You did well with all of them Alan. I can always live with a higher ISO nowadays with much better sensors that can handle it.

Nice series. I would like to visit Korea one of these days

Thanks Hazza, it’s an interesting place.
