Winter Sonata Photo Retouching Tip

June 24th, 2007

Have you been to the Winter Sonata Shooting Scene in Korea? The shooting scene is located at Nami Island which we need to take a short ferry to reach there. In my last Korea trip, I was very hopeful & excited before going to the island. But when we reached there, it was already 5pm in the evening. Night falls at about 5.30pm during the winter season in Korea. So we had only 30mins to explore the island before night falls. It took us 20mins to reached the famous 2 rows of trees where the exact shooting scenes were located. So we had only 10mins to take photos! It was really a rush! Luckily, we had a great travel mates who loves to take photos like us. So we helped each other to take pictures. All the photos turn out really bad :( due to the lighting condition. To make matter worse, there were many passer-by which we couldnt get rid off when we were taking the photos.

When I came back to hotel that day, I was really disappointed looking at the photos taken. So I was determine to use photoshop to help me beautify the photos.
