Sungnyemun(Namdaemun)
Constructed in 1395, Sungnyemun is the first among National Treasures of South Korea…
The city gate that stood by us firmly for years…
… severely damaged by arson in February 2008.
Awaiting for the day when the gate will stand high by us again…
I would like to share my humble work.
CHUJA, mechanical pencil lead craftsman…

Pencil lead is weak and trivial,
While diamond is strong and precious,
Or so everyone thinks.
In fact, pencil lead (graphite) and diamond are composed of the same carbon.
Same roots, but treated so differently…
I aspire to making pencil leads more valued than diamond.
I want to create delight with pencil lead, more than diamonds can do.

Welcome to Canada – ‘s AutoShow 2010!

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.
Hello, there. :)
I’m Rach, currently living in Toronto, Canada. SamsungImaging gave me a chance to use Samsung ST1000 (CL65), so I would like to share my sights with you – not only Toronto, but also wherever I go and whatever I do in days. :)
To celebrate getting ST1000(CL65), I decided to go AutoShow 2010 with my friend. AutoShow is open annually at Metro Toronto Convention Centre, but this is my first time to visit the show – made me so excited!

Welcome to the show! The show closes at 10pm so my friend and I went to the show around 6pm. However, a lot of people were still visiting the centre.
The first booth welcomed us were Acura and Honda. I like both Honda and Toyota lines but I like more sedans for Honda or Acura, and SUVs for Toyota or Lexus. Personally, I like SUVs in general. :)

Next, the ‘noble sport cars’ from Italy – Maserati vs. Ferarri! Which one do you like better?

And my favourite car brand – Infiniti! I love their G, EX, and FX series. This one was their ‘concept car’ – Essence – for this show. Looks like a batman car, isn’t it? :)

Next stop were Toyota and Lexus. Even though there was a lot of news about ‘recall of Toyota’ in these days, their booths were even bigger than other brands from Europe.

Toyota’s hybrid car, Prius. It was pretty interesting that you can drive for a while just charging it with electricity!

At the Lexus booth, I saw hard-top convertible car changes its roof for the first time! That really WOWed me with its cool surrounded sound system.

Is there anyone interested in racing car, Shelby? There was a special space for Carroll Shelby’s racing cars – from antique to the unique versions.

Hyundai and Kia did an event to win a car by entering the ticket number they gave us. We participated the event too and hoped to have luck to win! :)

Hyundai’s booth was neat and big enough to exhibit their models. Genesis – Hyundai’s next generation – was there too.
clip_image030
ST1000(CL65) 1/45s l F3.6 l ISO 200 l 6.3mm
It was great to see Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and other luxury brands from Europe but those booths were too crowded unlike others. What a shame that I couldn’t see them in various but meeting Jaguar – the gentle-sports car from England – was a pleasant because I can’t meet them on street so often compare to others.

It was snowing when we came out, but didn’t feel cold since I had so much fun at the show. Hope you had fun like I did with those pictures! I’ll try to take better pictures next time. :) Until then, take care!

Las Vegas, und tschuess!

Hello folks,
Today is the day; I’m going to post my very last post on SamsungImaging.net
Although, I only published three articles, and none of them were really interesting, I enjoyed writing for this blog.
In my last post, I won’t explain stuff, however, something which all other bloggers do:
Uploading pictures, telling you how great the place was and so on.
As some of you may know, I went to this year’s CES 2010 in Vegas, and I actually wanted to share some photos taken in Vegas.
To be precise, this was my first ever time in Las Vegas. I went to other cities in the States; however Las Vegas was completely different from all the other cities I’ve ever visited.
First of all, Las Vegas houses a very special ambient.
Bling bling everywhere, fast-food shops hidden inside Casinos, no casual malls and lots of hotels.
Anyhow, my flight to the Vegas was as spectacular as the city, itself. In L.A., I almost lost my luggage because of an airport staff member, who insisted that I had to leave my luggage at the exit. Then after arriving in Las Vegas, the cap I took ripped me off, something the staff at the hotel told me after I paid more than 40 bucks and as if this wasn’t enough, I was jet-lagged.

The first day in Vegas. That’s the hotel I stayed in. Everything was alright, expect the prices.
clip_image004[Samsung WB500 1/8ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 640ㅣ4mm]
That’s what I’m talking about. Burger King all the way. Since the burgers here were much bigger than any of the burgers I’ve experienced so far, this was probably the greatest thing I’ve faced in Vegas.
clip_image006[Samsung WB500 1/8ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 640ㅣ4mm]
A great gadget. Can’t remember which company built this, but the technology and fact, that it could be controlled with the iPhone was awesome.
clip_image008[Samsung WB500 1/8ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 640ㅣ4mm]
The monorail station at the venue. The first time, I actually used a monorail but wasn’t that amazing. However, the stations looked cool.

New York in Vegas.
clip_image012[Samsung WB500 1/8ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 640ㅣ4mm]
The streets of Las Vegas.
That’s about it, for today and tomorrow. I have no idea, if I’ll ever get the opportunity to write a blog again, however, it was a pleasure and privilege being a part of this blog.
Thank you for reading,
but most of all, thank you for not flaming me.
May the force be w/ you all.

Tag your Memory EP3. Are you a fan of Geotagging and Social Network? Than, ST1000(CL65) is your answer!!

clip_image002

In my last two postings, we took a look at how to use ST1000 (CL65) for geotagging. Today, I would like to share three characteristics of ST1000 (CL65) before finishing my series on ‘Tag your memory’.
I will be covering the following three features today.
l How to do real-time location logging (geotagging) using Wi-Fi and GPS and post real-time on various web albums
l How to take pictures at various modes using Smart Auto function
l How to select menu and flip through photos by tilting the camera to the front, back and to the sides with Smart Gesture UI
1. Wireless network – GPS, Wi-Fi
I went over in detail the wireless network functions of ST1000(CL65) in the previous two postings. In particular, uploading photos through AP access, uploading to social media (not accessible of web authentication is required), and geo-tagging using GPS are key features of ST1000(CL65).
Use Wi-Fi to e-mail photos that you took to your friends and upload them to Picasa, Facebook, YouTube, Samsungimaging, Flickr or Twitter. ST1000(CL65)’s Wi-Fi enables you to quickly send and share photos cable free, even when you are on the move .
You can also use GPS function to match the photos you took using web albums such as Panoramio and Picasa with Google Map or Google Earth. Uploading photos that you took while traveling or of nice restaurants and sharing them with your friends will be tons of fun.

clip_image004

Take note that battery lasts shorter with GSP function on. If you are planning to use GPS function for a long time, make sure to take along extra batteries with you!
2. Smart Auto
Many of the recently launched Samsung Cameras have smart auto function. This function automatically analyzes the surroundings at the time of shooting and helps to capture optimal results. For example, if you are taking portraits, the camera will automatically apply beauty shot function to correct the skin. During night time, the mode is set to night mode and would flash an icon recommending the use of tripod.

clip_image006


3. Smart Gesture UI
Have you ever tried G-sensor? Many gadgets including mobile phones come with G-sensor, which is a motion sensor. ST1000(CL65) is no exception! If you shake your camera or turn it this and that way, the pre-set functions will run automatically. This means that you can turn on or turn off a certain function with one snap, without ever having to press buttons multiple times!
With ST1000(CL65), you don’t need to manipulate with force for accurate recognition. Simply shift the direction and the functions will come into action. If you tilt the camera sideways under photo album, you can flip through the photos back and forth.

clip_image008


ST1000(CL65) offers many other functions not described here. Yet, these three are the key differentiating factors.
ST1000(CL65) will be the best choice for not only SNS users but also those who love to travel or those who want to share information with many others.
Thank you for staying tuned to Tag your Memory. If the opportunity allows, I hope to see you again to introduce features of other cameras.
Thank you again!



NX10, and its image sensor!

Hello everyone,
WHOA…time’s fast. Four months already passed since my last, ehm, my first post and finally I’m sittin’ here writing my second blog post.
So what happened during the past four months? Besides going to Vegas in January (YEAH $_$ ALL THE WAY) to attend this year’s CES 2010, nothing special happened. Meaning, I have nothing to complain about, if someone should label me as lazy.
I assume you can imagine that this article is about CES 2010, and you’re right.
This post is more or less directly related to CES 2010. To be precise it’s related to one product:
The Samsung NX10 digital camera.

[CES2010]SDI_Day-1_089
“There are tons of articles and news on other sites, so why should I consider reading this article?”
YES, there are tons of articles spread on the internet, and I also know that there are way more interesting topics I could talk about. But, once in a while, I guess it’s not wrong to do the job I’m supposed to do.
Anyways, as said, there are tons of articles, but most, NOT ALL, articles are introducing the NX10 as a Micro Four Third camera.
But let’s get it straight, the Samsung NX10 is NOT using a Micro Four Thirds system, nor has it ever used one. Thus meaning, articles which introduce the NX10 as a micro four third camera are simply wrong.
The Samsung NX10 is a digital camera using an APS-C sensor, the APS-C stands for Advanced Photo System Type-C.
So what is the difference between APS-C and Micro Four Third systems?
Spearheading:
If you’re really eager to know, read this amazing article published by Popphoto.com. Because explaining technical stuff, I don’t even understand doesn’t make sense to me at all, and I don’t want to expose any wrong information’s.
However, what I can tell you is, that the APS-C image sensor is bigger than micro four third sensors.
The increased size of image sensors results in improved low light performances and greater dynamic range. Thus meaning, the image quality of the pictures taken with an APS-C are theoretically better than the ones taken with a Micro Four Third sensor.
The point is, although the differences of both technologies are significant some sites categorize the Samsung NX10 among Micro Four Third cameras, which is simply misleading.
I mean, that’s like saying a usual VW Golf equals a Ferrari because it rolls on 4 tires.
It simply doesn’t make any sense.
So, concluding my post of awesomeness, if you should consider buying a camera, providing better image quality than an usual digital compact camera, but more portable than a DSLR, the NX10 should be your pick.
P.S. Dear authors of the sites, I’m addressing only those who stated that the NX10 is a Micro Four Third camera, please make some corrections or add at least a phrase that the NX10 is using APS-C.
P.P.S. I’m still bad at taking pictures!

EP2. ST1000(CL65) meets Twitter

Hi! It’s been a while since the last posting. Last time, we took a look at geotagging using Intelli Studio. Today we are going to take a look at uploading the geotagged photos directly to twitter using ST1000(CL65).
ST1000(CL65) has built-in functions that enables you to use Wi-fi to upload pictures to Picasa, Facebook, YouTube and Samsungimaging.com. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support updating pictures to Twitter. That is why I want to guide you through how to use the e-mail function in ST1000(CL65) and Flickr2Twitter to upload pictures.
First, go to Flickr2Twitter(http://www.flickr.com/account/blogs/add/twitter) to sign up for an e-mail account. If you use the e-mail function of ST1000(CL65) using this e-mail account, you can upload both to Twitter and Flickr. This is how you do it step by step.



Move to the Authorize page of Flickr2Twitter.



Select ‘Allow’, of course.



If you are done with this process, you will receive an e-mail account that allows you to
update using mobile device.



I guess you had no problem following me up to this point, right? Now, let’s turn on ST1000(CL65). Go to Wireless Networking Mode.



Using the e-mail account you received, send the pictures via Wi-fi. After a few minutes, you will be able to see that the pictures have been uploaded to your Twitter and Flickr account.



However, Flickr will only show a message saying that the photo has been sent from ST1000(CL65). You simply need to correct this at Flickr.
If you were to activate the GPS function, you will be able to record the location of the photos you took using Flickr.
Of course, with ST1000(CL65), you can use Intelli Studio to upload directly to Flickr or to Facebook.
In the next post, I will introduce how to share geotagged photos using Picasa. Of course, if you have any questions or know-how, please do not hesitate to comment!
