Samsung NX100 – Bean Pole Edition: Creative Meets Classic

On February 9, a somewhat unique model contest was held in Seoul, Korea. A ‘KOREA PHOTO MODEL CONTEST 2011!’ was held celebrating the launch of the NX100 Bean Pole Edition. The models who participated in the event had the stage to themselves with the NX100. What is the NX100 Bean Pole edition that received the spotlight on this day?

The popular NX100, which was announced last year, is differentiated in design and features, and promises quality photos for everyone. In particular, the i-Function lens enables easy adjustment of various features such as ISO (sensitivity) and WB (white balance) for a much better photo quality.

The creative outer design of the NX100 also distinguishes itself from the pack. The motive of a tree leaf is expressed in an elegant curve while ensuring better user convenience.

This NX100 collaborated with the Korean apparel brand Bean Pole to come up with the limited edition NX100 Bean Pole Edition in Korea. It is receiving good reviews!

With its accessible yet sophisticated image, Bean Pole has become a popular brand across various ages and its brand logo, PENNY-FARTHING, has its roots in the early bicycle which looks like two British coins placed on top of one another. The Bean Pole logo reinvents classic yet modern image of the UK.

Recently, Nicholas Hoult, an actor who appeared in films such as ‘About a Boy’ and ‘Single Men’, and the UK drama ‘Skins’, modeled for the collection, creating much fuss. The leading teenage star Nicholas and the British heritage of Bean Pole made a perfect match, well illustrating the unique feel of the brand.

The NX100 Bean Pole Edition half case (made from ostrich leather) has a classic design and its striking balance with the modern NX100 leaves the combo ever sophisticated. However, style is not everything. If you place the slim NX100 into the half case, it gives a better grip of the camera, making it easier to use the product, protecting it from scratch and from external shock.

The exclusive half case only for the NX100 will surely add to your personal character!

Happy Christmas in Hull…

Hi! I am ISEUL, currently living in Hull, a city located in North Eastern UK. I am studying in Hull University as an exchange student. I bought a new camera when I came here and it’s Samsung ST500(TL220). The last camera I had for 2 years was also by Samsung and I was satisfied with it so I went with Samsung again this time. I like taking self portraits and the dual LDC function in ST500(TL220) was the crucial factor in making my decision to buy this camera.

I took this first picture with my old camera. I always carry camera in my bag. Not only ST500(TL220) is small and lightweight, but the design is so pretty that I can’t wait to take it out to take pictures whenever, wherever. And to the young generations these days, digital camera is a must-have.

I went to the Hull city centre today. The building with the emerald-colored-roof in the picture is the Hull city centre. It is located in the heart of the city so if you ever visit Hull, you should visit the information center (for guides and tips) and start your travel.

These are the buildings found in the city. One of the things that impressed me the most living here was the architecture. Each individual building has its unique charm and style that you never get bored looking at it. You can see the lighting decorations on the building for the upcoming Christmas. And there are Christmas markets opening in the front one by one.

One of the most popular sports in UK must be rugby. There is large screen installed in the middle of the city square and they play live sports games. It’s fun to look at people stopping on their way to watch the screen.

The center of the city was lined with Christmas markets. They were selling all sorts of chocolates, candies and hamburgers. But perhaps due to the cold weather, people were just passing by and I felt a bit sorry for the merchants.

One side of the street was rides for the children. The parents looking at their children enjoying the rides seemed a lot more excited than the children actually riding themselves.

This is a picture of a Santa in a shoe repair shop. The children passing by were excited to see the cute Santa. Thus, Christmas has something special that makes people happy with the smallest things.

The picture of the building floating on the river on the right is a shopping center. It was interesting for me to see the harmony between the new and old architecture in one space. I think this is one of the charms of UK.

This is inside the shopping center. The lightings decorated for Christmas were absolutely amazing. It was the weekend and also was the start of the winter sale season so it was really crowded.

The sun had set already when I came out of the building after shopping. It was only around 5 o’clock when I took this picture but it was no different than in the middle of the dark night! The lights started to light up after the sunset, and it made me feel like Christmas even more.

It’s time to head back home. The colors of double-decker bus differ in each city, and the color of double-decker bus in Hull is brown. It’ll be quite interesting to look at the different colors of bus from different cities. With that thought, it’s a wrap for today.

Since this is the first post, I probably wasn’t perfect. I’ll try to be back with better pictures in the next post. I’m planning on going to York next week. I’ll introduce York to you, a city that has very different atmosphere from Hull. Stay tuned! Till then, bye-bye :)

Salsa Class @ Salsa Club!

Posted by JIMIN on Aug 12, 2009 • (3)

Last Friday, I and some my friends attended a free salsa class.

Salsa dance is created by Spanish and Caribbean and it is normally dancing with a partner and a quite fast tempo of music.

In that time, it was the first time to visit in salsa club and I never ever tried it before that is why, this salsa class was very attractive and interested.

When the class began, one of my friends started dancing, it was amazingly impressive.

I just realized that she used to learn that for 3 years.

For rest of us, we moved to the basic course that to learn from the step like ‘forward, and back’. While we were practiced the step, surprisingly, I was almost sweaty.

Only doing the step was so enjoyable and fun!

During the class, we tried to learn lots of different dancing for example, individual dancing and duet dancing. I could be a man part and another way.

It was so joyful and there were so many chances to meet some new friends that easily.

Some time, I will definitely come back again with my boy friend!

I am sure that this place would be one of the best places for a date as well!                          [Samsung IT100(SL820) 1/10sㅣf/3.7ㅣISO 800ㅣ7.0mm]
