Exploring the Beauty of Underdeveloped Streets in Yongsan-gu, Seoul

As a novice photographer, I'm always on the lookout for unique and interesting places to capture through my lens. When I found myself walking near Sunrin Internet High School in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, I couldn't help but be drawn to the older, underdeveloped streets in the area.


While these streets may not have had the modern amenities or polished look of newer areas in Seoul, they had a certain charm and character that I found captivating. There were old-fashioned buildings and storefronts, narrow alleyways, and small parks that all added to the area's unique ambiance.



Of course, there was some discomfort in walking through these older streets. Some of the buildings were in disrepair, and the lack of modern conveniences could be challenging at times. However, I also felt a strong emotional connection to these streets. They seemed to hold a piece of Seoul's history and culture that was missing in more modern, developed areas.



Through my photography, I was able to capture the beauty and essence of these underdeveloped streets. I took pictures of the old storefronts, the intricate details of the buildings, and the everyday people going about their business. Each photo seemed to tell a story of the area's past and present.


Exploring underdeveloped streets can be a unique and rewarding experience, despite the challenges. By taking the time to appreciate the character and history of these areas, we can gain a deeper understanding of the culture and people that have shaped them.


In conclusion, walking through the underdeveloped streets around Sunrin Internet High School in Yongsan-gu, Seoul was a truly unforgettable experience. While there was some discomfort and challenges, the emotional connection I felt with these older areas made it all worth it. And through my photography, I was able to capture the beauty and essence of this unique part of Seoul for others to enjoy.

Amateur Product Photography: Tips and Results

How I Created Pseudo Close-up Product Photos with My Nikon Z5 and 24-200mm Lens I suddenly wanted a Z 105 MC lens. However, my photography skills are not yet at the level where I can utilize all the features of a high-end lens and micro lens, so I decided to settle for playing around with the 24-200 lens to combat shortcuts. The 24-200mm lens has a shortest shooting distance of 0.5m at 24mm and 0.7m when zoomed to 200m. Obviously, it's not a short distance, so it's difficult to take a photo by holding the lens incredibly close to the subject as the dictionary definition of close-up, but if you zoom in and hold the object large, you can take a large photo at a relatively close distance, so it's not a full-fledged close-up, but it's a pseudo(?) close-up.
