Previous entry: When the thrush knocks | Korean candids -- Children at the Korean War Memorial, Seoul | Next entry: Doggie Launch

There were some great candid moments during my last trip to Seoul, and I used some of these to photograph some Korean kids, who are really cute and exuberant. The first and third picture were taken using my ninja skills -- I'm somewhat reserved naturally, so the idea of a tall white girl in a homogenous Asian country oh-so-obviously putting a big expensive camera in front of her face and taking pictures of other peope's kids didn't sit well with me. Solution: using a neck strap, put on an 18mm autofocus lens and set the camera on shutter priority. You're now set to surreptitiously hit the shutter and steal candids to your heart's content.

The second picture was taken the in the old-fashioned camera-against-face method -- this kid obviously was thrilled at the idea of this white American girl taking his photo! While not technically a candid, I wanted to include it because this kid's exuberance is infectious.
