Hyundai Shipyard, a photo from Ulsan, South

Photographer's Note

The start of the Korean industry began in earnest in 1968 when Pohang Steel Mill was established.The government is beginning to wonder where to spend the huge surplus of steel products.. That is the construction of the shipyard and the automobile manufacturing plant.
At that time, Koreans' per capita income was lower than the African average.

At that time, Korea had no capital to build a large shipyard. Hyundai Group founder Chung Ju-young went to borrow capital from the UK, and the answer was, "How can we build a large tanker without technology and shipyard?" That's too much to ask. If someone orders an oil tanker, they can borrow it." "
Jung Joo-young is disappointed. He thought about it for a few days and went to see the Greek shipping king. He was Livanos of Greece.
He ordered two 260,000 ton oil tankers when he saw a picture without a shipyard.

Hi Jang,A big economic boom therefore, passing from a starvation income to one of the richest nations in the world, while in the northern sister things are still as 100 years ago thanks to communism and dictatorship. but which is the symbol of this great economic adventure. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hi IJ,
Nice POV on this view to present Hyundai Shipyard. Nice effect with all these lights well captured, maybe for the presentation you can crop a bit the dark bottom of the view, just a suggest.

Hello Jang,

What a difference between the Korean economies!
One progressive, the other a closed dictatorship!

I thought, at first, that there was too much shadow in the f/g but found how important it was was, when I viewed the scene with it reduced!
The multitude of pinpoint lights give the photograph a sense of movement and industry.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jang

I enjoyed my trip to Ulsan. The tourist guides were not encouraging people to go there because it was mainly an industrial town, but I found plenty of natural sites to film. Tfs!
