One year of NXperience

This is the first post this year, I hope not the last. At home, more and more responsibilities, the time for anything less.

Time runs so fast that it’s been a year since I am the owner of NX10 and wonderful little devil named Natasha!

Within a year I became the owner 4 of 5 NX system lenses, I must say that I’m not fully satisfied because I lack a macro lens – so awaited, perhaps imparted to even fish-eye to enhance creativity.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f4.3 │ 82mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Each new lens for me is getting better! Moreover, confirmed by various tests. But tests are tests, I prefer taking pictures than worrying about technical matters.

About The NX I can tell you – it works all the time just as well as in January 2010.
Counter shows nearly 7200 only photos, because I still have the EX1 which the counter shows2300 photos. This is a 9600 photos by the year, or about 26 pictures a day. I do not know whether this is a good or a bad result?

During one of the photo day, I managed to flood it with water, but luckily it survived and still works. I tried it also freeze at the snow – still works!
I have not tried to throw it, but it was tested by others with NX100 – still works!

In the beginning there were a few minor problems, but thankfully the developers have eliminated them from Samsung, I hope that it will introduce a few more minor improvements as the selection of JPG compression ratio, and AMOLED viewfinder.

By NX10 back my passion for photography. I always say that the pictures you can take by any camera, even a cell phone – hmmm pity that I do not have the Samsung S Galaxy only Wildfire with camera hopeless :)

During the year, it seems to me that I did a lot to improve my skills, I also know how much work is ahead of me. Fortunately, I have now excellent tool that enables me to develop skills and create new interesting vision.

Friday Night Fun

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

What are fun things to do on friday night? When me and my friends were just student, almost single or part-time worker, we have usually made electronic music parties at home as often as in the yard. Now, we hardly see each other on weekdays, and even on weekend. Such a sad reality, but chances can always be made.

A new friday night has come with a glad call from my old friends, Guillaume and Raphaël. I joined them at “Lunapark”, a little amusement park temporarily opened at night. Colorful rights and excited screems were making a real friday night fun.

After midnight, we taked a rest in a poolbar near the park. We made four games during almost two hours. We all three together were totally absorbed in friendly feelings that night.

On the way back to home, I saw familiar faces of my town where nocturn stillness was stayed on. The bright moon and lonely throadlamps on streets were evoking different atmospheres.

The most exciting thing was still remained. That the weekend was only beginning!

Chapter 9 : Rio de Janeiro

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Hello There!

When I started blogging for Samsung I was still living in my beautiful Argentina. Life brought me to Switzerland where I’ll stay for some time. But…. before coming here [Wetzikon, Zürich], Natalie and I we went to Río de Janeiro for one week.

Of course I took my Samsung Camera and of course I’m posting some of those photos now.

I hope you like them!

A woman and her dog. Or maybe a dog and her woman? :P

Samsung PL150(TL210) │ 1/250s │ f/3.9 │ ISO 80 │ 13.2mm

Copacabana! Very nice view. But I must be honest, I do not like hot and humid weather that much.

Samsung PL150(TL210) │ 1/45s │ f/4.3 │ ISO 80 │ 7.8mm

A Favela (slum) 100mts away from Copacabana.

Well, I had to take a photo of that pineapple :P

So is it in Rio… you have to walk almost naked :P

Gay friendly beach.

Cristo Redentor statue in el Corcovado.

From our hotel we had two very different views. A Favela…

…and the beautiful Copacabana [a more wide open view as in the photo posted above]

Samsung PL150(TL210) │ 1/90s │ f/5.0 │ ISO 90 │ 9.3mm

This was the view from our balcony. People get up early and like to go jogging and walking, etc.

Samsung PL150(TL210) │ 1/750s │ f/5.6 │ ISO 80 │ 11.2mm

And last but not least, the view from el Corcovado. That famous mountain is called “Pão de Açúcar”

(Sugarloaf Mountain). The views from this two places are incredible. Really impressive.

So… this is all for now.

But I’ll be coming back soon with more photos for all of you who enjoy watching them.

Thanks a lot for your attention :)
