Nightscape Pictures Taken Manually While Fighting the Bitter Cold
Seoul, Korea – On January 15, I rode on my bicycle to Yeoksam-dong during the day to take care of a few tasks, and on the way back at night, I felt the weather gradually getting colder, despite it being warm during the day. My hands and feet started getting cold because I didn¡¯t wear thick clothing due to the warm daytime weather. Still, I noticed how beautiful the night scenery and full moon was, and despite the bitter cold, decided to stop and take a few pictures for a couple hours, starting on my way back from Cheonho-dong, following the Han River¡¯s night scenery.

Even though I tried my best given the circumstances, I couldn¡¯t find a single picture of being worthy during those two hours. I began to realize that I was still a long ways away from becoming a photography master.
Although my camera¡¯s battery was at 50% when I started taking pictures, it soon went dead after taking so many pictures. After a while I began to get hungry and felt too cold and decided to head on home on my bike back to Cheonho-dong.

Yeongdong Bridge, the bridge across from Chungdam Bridge. The blue lights usually come on one by one, but as luck would have it, they all came on the moment I took this picture. This picture was taken on top of my bike¡¯s saddle by using a timer, while blowing warm air on my freezing hands.
I had to sacrifice composition because I couldn¡¯t level off my breathing..
