Carp, Jeju Korea

Posted by Aidan Hammond (Seoul, South Korea) on 3 December 2006 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

One of my favourite subjects. I love trying to capture the colour and movement of these fish as they move around. These fish are much bigger than one would expect - most are approaching 40cm in length. The sound, as about a hundred of them compete for morsels of food, is like a popping or sucking sound. This was the most surprising of all. I expected just a splashing sound.
