Hi, my name is Gilchan from South Korea and I am a working holiday maker. To save up some money for getting closer to my dream, I am currently working in Sydney, Australia.

In this thread I am going to keep posting photos that I have taken and am going to take. Any comments are welcome and hope you like my amateur photos.

I like the last one. Perhaps it would have worked better in portrait though?

Thanks for the comment and I knew someone would bring this up.

I am obsessed with the 16:9 landscape ratio. Since I got my LX3, my photos have been all in 16:9. Kind of silly, but I cannot help.

I love clouds and sunsets.

Awesome clouds

Humble beginnings.....can't go wrong with that Leica lens.

I started on a point and shoot and graduated to a digital SLR, I still keep the P+S in the bag though. It's a Canon Powershot A640.

Couple images could use some sharpening, other than that......not too bad :thumbup:

If you like clouds, come to Florida in the summertime, we have some pretty impressive thunderstorms, great for lightning photography if you have the equipment, patience and mosquito spray.

I really like that photo with the bridge, it's marvellous.

Thanks for the feedback, j-dogg.

I got myself a LX3 as a present last year. After I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, I felt I needed to have something with me.

The reason I chose LX3 is simply because it (still) is a very good camera for 16:9 photos. I know that my LX3 cannot outperform Canon or Nikon digital SLRs in many aspects, but LX3 is good enough for me to capture the moments that I love to keep.

If I have a child in the future, I would like to give my LX3 as a birthday present. In the meantime, I am going to get a mini d-SLR like a PEN of Olympus.

Very tempting. I think I must visit Florida. By the way, I am planning to go to America next year to get a training to be a watchmaker. (My dream is to be an independent watchmaker.) I might have a chance to visit Florida.

Just make sure when you come here to send me a message. I know all the good locations to shoot, you can do all the tourist crap in a couple days. The real Florida is in the middle of the state.
