This week, I tried to apply what I have learned from the YouTube video last week about “ISO”.

“ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization — an organization that sets international standards for all different kinds of measurements. But, when in reference to your camera, the ISO is your camera’s sensitivity to light. ISO is displayed in a number like this: 100, 200, or 400.”

(Holmes, 2019)

It is related to how much light does the camera is exposed to. If I were to take a picture outside with lots of sunlight, I have to set ISO as 100. In the shades, 200. When I use the camera indoors, I have to set my ISO at 400 and it could go up to 800, 1600, and depends on the performance of the camera can go up to even 3200.

Last weekend, I visited Sang-am, so-called the village of broadcasting stations. The reason this town is called as the village of the broadcasting station is that more than 7 stations are gathered in one place with beautiful building designs and intriguing statues. In Korea, there are 3 main public broadcasting stations MBC, SBS, and KBS, and there are other stations such as TVn, JTBC, etc. One of the main buildings in this village is MBC which has one of the biggest buildings, not just for TV broadcasts but radio stations, media stations and has a huge square in front of their buildings where pedestrians can watch the screen and listen to the real-time TV shows. I felt excited by just being here to look up to these buildings because when I was young, I once dream to become a screenwriter. Even though I changed my mind, I was fascinated by how developed and highly technological our media world is by going around the village. Here are the pictures that I took.

 

On my way back, I took another picture near my house. We have this small stream called “Bul-Gwang Chun.” They built beautiful bridges over this stream and it lights up at night. I adjusted my ISO and took the picture in the evening.

I am glad that I can go to places with my camera and try to save memories in it ❤️
