Travel Q&A with Bombyul
What was it like capturing your travels with your equipment?
The Alpha 7C II was intuitive and great for shooting handheld paired with the lightweight FE 20-70mm F4 G. Together, the image stabilisation was good. Plus, the lens' wider angle gave me more options and versatility when taking landscape photos.
What advice do you have for fellow travel photographers?
The best way to take good travel photos is to take a lot of them. Finding just one A-cut is important, but try taking more photos of many different moments. New A-cuts may appear in unexpected places.
What was your most memorable moment?
A memorable location was Deokjin Park in Jeonju. There were many peaceful and beautiful shooting spots. The library in the middle of the lake can be captured from various angles. Yeonhwajeong Library was also impressive with its sunny Hanok windows and stacks of books on display.
