Mita-won Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Click here or on the image to see the large version.

I took this photo at Mita-won, a Buddhist temple and charnel house which was too crowded with visitors on Buddha’s birthday.

The white paper lanterns are to pray for the Gukrakwangsaeng (easy passage into eternity) of the deceased, and the colored paper lanterns are to pray for the wealth and honor of the living.

This picture is a negative film scan (Fujifilm X-TRA 400) using an Epson 4990 scanner.

안녕하세요 응봉님 조용한 주말입니다. 부처님오신날 이군요.
광각 구도 참 좋습니다. 하지만 사람 하나하나 색감이 선명하지 않아요.
좀더 콘트라스트를 높이면 좋을 것 같아요. 포커스를 정확하게 잡는다면 훌륭하지 않을까 개인적으로 생각합니다.

Hello my dear Eungbong

Nice shoot from unique idea again.
Usage of wide focus lens and bold cropping are very very effective.This is your own own world !

Thanks for sharing and best regards,

Dear Eungbong,

In my message a few minutes ago, I addressed you as Khun, because I though you are Thai, but now I see you are Korean. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Coming back to your picture above it really is an excellent shot with a lot of DOF created by the countless white lamps. You have captured the atmosphere perfectly. Very good work.

Have a great day

Best regards
urs

안녕하세요 Eungbong

Good repetition of the white paper lanterns & well framed & composed. The diffused light allows maximum shadow detail.

감사합니다!
