Since the works are displayed around the outdoor river,

iPhone 14 Pro Max photos of daily life in Korea

In Korea, iPhone 14 was released on October 7th, a little later than other countries.

I would like to briefly introduce the daily photos I took after receiving the iPhone 14 Pro Max on October 7 and using it for a little over a month. 

In my case, the previous iPhone was the iPhone XS MAX, so I am very satisfied with the camera while replacing it with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

It has a separate high-end model camera, so the iPhone 14 Pro Max is really using it like a sub-camera for everyday photos.

Most of the photos below were taken with Apple ProRaw and edited with Lightroom CC.

It was autumn in Korea when I received the iPhone, so it was nice to be able to capture the beautiful autumn leaves around my house in my daily life.

My son is obsessed with the novel Wings of Fire these days, so I often draw dragons. It seems to draw pretty well to me.

When I received the iPhone and went for a walk or moved around the house on the weekend, I captured a lot of beautifully colored autumn leaves, but the quality of the photos is definitely higher than that of the old iPhone I used before. Apple ProRaw is also satisfactory.

The wide-angle camera has been around since the iPhone 11, but it's the first time I've used a wide-angle camera since I used the iPhone XS MAX.

Even the existing high-end camera lenses do not have a wide-angle range, so I really like the existence of this camera.

Fall is too short to capture it with a camera. Now, with the iPhone camera that I always carry with me in my daily life, I was able to capture more short autumn photos.

I was lucky to be able to capture various autumn scenery while walking around my apartment and walking trails, and it was also good that I was able to take pictures that were difficult to capture without at least a mirrorless camera.

Since I can't always carry a camera, I also tried to capture the commute to work that I couldn't usually capture.

Even if it's not necessarily a night photo mode, it's also an advantage of the iPhone 14 Pro Max camera that the surrounding details are well expressed when the brightness of the night photos taken in RAW is adjusted with Lightroom.

I think the comfort I feel after buying the iPhone 14 Pro Max is that there are now more photos that I can take as I want to express myself without having to carry a separate camera in my daily life.

Compared to crop-body mirrorless or full-frame cameras, the cameras of the smartphones I used before were always lacking a little in the quality of photos and there were a lot of unsatisfactory parts.

In Case of Iphone 14 Pro Max Camera, you can say that you are satisfied with 85 % of everyday photos with 3 lenses and software complement.

It seems that the number of times I carry a heavy camera and lens when going out will decrease a little bit.

iPhone 14 Pro Max everyday camera

The improvement of the iPhone 14's camera performance seems to have changed my photography life a bit. In everyday life, most of the cases do not carry a camera, so even at the moment when I did not take a picture, I trusted the iPhone 14 Pro Max and took a picture. As a result, there are more daily photos than in the past. The photos below are daily photos taken over a period of less than a month. Most of the photos were taken with Apple ProRaw and converted to jpg with Lightroom. Even when I see fallen leaves falling under my feet, I take pictures of things I would otherwise have missed. In a low-light environment such as at night, if it was my previous iPhone XS MAX, I would not have attempted to take a picture, but I do not hesitate to take out my iPhone and take a picture. Even in environments like the dark basement like the one pictured above, you can capture satisfying photos with plenty of detail. Of course, recent mirrorless cameras will show better image quality in low li

Siheung Shinsegae Outlet Christmas Cookie Run packaging store

Premium outlets in Korea are decorating their shopping spaces with unique concepts for each major company. In the case of Siheung Shinsegae Premium Outlet, the entire shopping mall is decorated with the market concept of a small and medium-sized European city. Siheung is about 40km away from Seoul and takes about 50 minutes by car. This outlet has become a very beautiful space with Christmas decorations featuring a Cookie Run pop-up store during the Christmas season. My family and I stopped by to have a weekend dinner and do some shopping, and we looked around the central square because the Christmas decorations were very well done. The central plaza is decorated with a Christmas tree, Cookie Run characters wearing Santa hats, and various Christmas decorations. This blends well with the image of the original European concept Shinsegae Premium Outlet, creating a proper Christmas atmosphere. It seems that there are many people who purposely visit to see this decoration. There are photo z
