[Photoes] Works with my first *smart phone*

*Smart Phone*
  It's easier to say which model I'm using thesedays, but for some reasons I'd like to keep it behind. However I really like my phone with various applications. I have quite a variety of camera apps. For now, I have 14 cameras and 8 editing (and color-changing) programs for pictures. I'm sure that I've tried 20 or more kinds of camera apps since I bought this phone.

Camera, Cyworld
  Before talking about photography, I'd like to introduce Cyworld to help you understand part of Korean culture. Actually, Cyworld is still my favorite social networking site. I'm not sure when it did appear, but I remember I started it in my middle school. It has been almost 10 years with Cyworld.
  It is a Korean website, and the company tried to enlarge the market, but I guess it failed. A few years later, Facebook and Twitter got pretty popular in Korea, when people are getting bored of Cyworld. I think if Cyworld was an American (or English-based) website, it could have grown bigger than it is now.

  When Cyworld was having great success in early 2000s, Koreans said that Cyworld made most people (especially girls) buy digital cameras. For me, it was very true. I wanted to make my Cyworld page prettier with the pictures I took. I wanted to upload more great pictures there. My efforts haven't stopped with my phone cameras. So actually I feel Cyworld gave me a hobby for taking pictures whenever I get chances.


So I'd like to share some of current pictures that I took with my smart phone.

  It is a picture of Cheonggyecheon(청계천). This one is what I took on the day I bought my phone. The couple on the right road was accidentally taken, and I think it makes the picture more romantic.  

I like to take picture in a low angle, as it looks so different from how I see in my eye level.

 It's not a great view, but at least it looks so old. I took the view over the window, which was quite dirty, so the window gave some spots on the picture.  
This is a picture of my favorite street. It's nearby my house and I have seen this street for many years, so it makes me feel comfortable.

It was taken in Gangnam Station area, but rarely people recognized it.


Do you know this popular green bottle? Although I don't really like it, I sometimes miss it when I feel depressed.


 It's my representative image for Seoul. Bright and shiny lights, buildings, and lots of cars.

 This picture was taken in one of my favorite cafes. The yellow smiles hanging in the air are so cute:)

 
 Those are taken in the same place as the picture above.



 
 I made some color effects with a color editting program.


 I pass over Hangang (Han River) to go to my college. It was so nice weather!

It's also my favorite street, which is very close to my apartment. I like this kind of mood, which seems dreamy.

 I bought four nail polishes at once! So I took a picture of them.

 I visited Namsan Korea house village (남산한옥마을). It's nearby Chungmuro Station by Line 3, the Orange line.

 This one is my favorite among pictures taken in Namsan Korea house village.

I took a picture with my phone, even the water drop on the flower appeared so clear, so I satisfied a lot with this picture.

 Actually those pictures were not taken in Seoul, but southern part of Korea. I just wanted to share some pieces of my vacation in last summer!

I'm sorry I can't get two pictures together when they're bigger than this. Please just enjoy the calmness of the beach. 

 Haha it's me. I like taking pictures of my shoes.

I'm sure now you know what Namsan Tower is. The tiny tall one is N Seoul Tower (Nasan Tower).

 It's my latest work. I took this picture yesterday. Thesedays it's great weather in Seoul, and I believe the sky of fall season is the most beautiful and clear in Korea. If you have plans to visit Korea, consider it to be in fall.
