Hangan park photo

Review of Han River shooting using Canon EOS M50. I used only the bundled lens and took pictures using both manual exposure and AI functions. Afterwards, corrections are made and the final result is shared.

cannon eos m50을 이용한 한강 출사 후기. 번들렌즈만을 이용하였고 수동 노출과 ai 기능을 병행하여 사진을 찍었다. 이후 보정을 진행하여 최종 결과물을 공유

1. 한남대교 (hangang Hannam Bridge)

2. 잠수교 (Jamsu Bridge)

First outing since buying the eos m50. For a change of mood. I took a lot of pictures, but only three looked good to me.

Because I walked, I only took pictures from two bridges. I’m contemplating whether to go to Incheon’s Chinatown or take pictures of other parts of the Han River that I haven’t seen before.

eos m50 을 사고 난 이후 첫 출사. 기분전환 겸. 정말 많은 사진을 찍었지만 내 눈에 괜찮아 보이는 사진은 3개뿐이었다.

걸어서 이동하였기 때문에 2개의 다리에서만 찍었다. 이후에 인천 차이나 타운을 갈 것인지 못가 본 다른 한강의 모습을 찍을 것인지는 고민중
