I think I agree with you regarding the interior shots - the Nikon just doesn't deal well with the interior lighting in comparison to the Canons used by the other journalists. However, I prefer the softer use for those outside photos (Sangah and Much etc.) I'm thinking I'll just mix it up until I upgrade.

The girl in the photos is Sangah - she's a Korean fan who I met a long time ago, but lost track of a while back. She just turned up again today and it was lovely to see her again.

Exactly. For outside photos, keep the real image untouched, and do not apply the sharp filter on photoshop.

For the interiors, do it, since Nikon lighting handling fucking sucks.

Tell me about it lol. I lament choosing Nikon over Canon sometimes. It's really good that I did experiment though to find out which works best Thanks for the feedback.

Great photos as usual; I just love the surreal lighting on those in booth shots. Grats on the new icon and star

Hahaha - he's so polite. When I did my first shoot with him a little while ago I spoke in English and he was laughing and saying 'Slow, slow please!' He bowed to us yesterday which was nice of him too.

I wouldn't say they weren't pretty attractive, they're just very young. Skin is basically a giant biological pool, and at most programers ages, they can't help getting dry skin, acne, etc.

If you analyze the photographs, you might realize how unbelievable it is that these teenagers and young (very young) adults have created a million dollar sport in Korea.

I'm a fan for truth in design, and art. If sharper photos look better, despite the people in them looking un-pretty, keep it.

Great photos btw. I love the color, something I've never been good at creating.

I you want I can give you a little highpass trick I do in photoshop that will sharpen better (and WAY more realistically) than any sharpen tool in photoshop.

I think your regular style looks way better even tho sometimes i'm not super happy with them (I'm a photographer, and a very picky one at that ^_^) Basically I think you need to find a middle ground between these way more realistic shots and your usual heavily saturated ones. I suggest messing around with Lightroom's autotone and autoexposure (autoexposure is quite possibly the greatest tool ever, I too use a nikon and feel your pain when shooting indoors T_T, with this you should be able to shoot a couple apertures lower and get the focused picture you need and then fix the lighting later on)

uhh send me a pm if you want to share photoooo techniques cuz i can go on forever here lol
Since ma jae yoon and jin young soo stabbed me in the fucking back, i've got no one to rep here.

Hey never GG, what gear do you use exactly? It seems the colours are way off in a lot of shots, too much red basically. I hope you're not shooting on vivid.. Also, the focus seems to be off in quite a lot of shots.. try focusing on the eyes when doing a portrait, I suppose you're using a prime lense at it's widest aperture.. which gets you a small depth of field. Love the composition and angles though

I think she's actually saying relative to when XellOs was traveling with the team. Relative to XellOs, even professional models are ugly.

And on that note, XellOs loses his hair in 24 hours...such a sad day tomorrow will be

Oh ya, thanks for the photos too, even if they aren't of Seo Ji Hoon.

I'm using a Nikon D40X with a Sigma EX 70-200mm lens - the colour is probably off because I think my laptop's settings make things look a lot paler to me. I'm working on getting it sorted, but my OS is in Korean so it might take a while. As for the focus - actually that's usually deliberate ^_^; I enjoy focusing on weird places upon a person's face and playing with the rules of typical portrait photography - I'm not wanting the same style as Fomos/Fifo so all this really is experimentation until I can get a better camera.

Thanks for the advice.

@iPF[Div]: Thanks - you sound way more knowledgable than me - I'll PM you tomorrow.

@Jyvblamo: Yes, we laughed so hard when he held that up. Some of the fans yesterday - especially the talented girls who drew pictures at the matches and that kid who crossed out the Hwaseung on his balloon really made us lol.

@GTR: Shockingly he made it out alive. He did leave before the end though.

I think what's making them fuzzy is either mediocre glass, or too big an aperture...or a combination of both. They're both out of your control, though (sharper lenses = more money out of the pocket, and the lighting at those events looks to be a nightmare), so whatever.

Decide for yourself. They're your photos, after all; they should reflect your own style. (:
