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

Oh, since my last post almost a month elapsed. That’s a lot of time, a lot happened in that period. I had a lot of happiness and pleasure, but it came at a very unpleasant thing. Our beloved dog Cortnay, unfortunately died.

I wanted to thank him for the time when he was with us. Thank you puppy, we will remember You forever!

As a holder of two cameras NX10 with set of lenses and EX1 I have a problem. I do not know the more I want to use. Of course, between them is very big difference, but both are superb. For the EX1 does not have only a wide-angle converter, I am curious how it works. EX1 is has one maybe more 😉 advantages over the NX10 has a super macro mode (Of course, unless the NX10 will not have a macro lens). And I love the photos taken from very close range. Ordinary things become extraordinary time.

Recently, I came to the conclusion that the work bothered me in my hobby. I have so many ideas for pictures that I have to do something about it. I should decide on the style. As each photo is from a different barrel.Soon more photos

The Spinning Earth – Ben Heine’s Panorama Works

Here are ingenious series of artworks by Ben Heine, a Samsung imageloger. All the pieces of images, served to complete the panoramas, was taken with Samsung NX10. Enjoy the fact that the world we are living in is perfectly round. The Earth continues to spin…

Ben’s note : 3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany’s fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them from the top of “KölnTurm” when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago… (FYI, I didn’t use any autopano or fisheye). The city’s famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe’s oldest universities.

Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne International Furniture Fair and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride. Within Germany, Cologne is also known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city. ©Ben Heine

Ben’s note : This is the landscape I saw from the top of Beynac Castle, in the Dordogne department of France. I visited this beautiful place last week. I spent several days to assemble and edit some 20 photos I took there (no Fisheye and no AutoPano). The original image is huge and it was quite a challenge this time because my graphic tablet just got damaged and I had to do everything with a standard mouse. 🙂 ©Ben Heine

Ben’s note : This is where I used to revise my books when I made my degree in Journalism. I didn’t use a fisheye lens. I have actually assembled some 14 photos I took when I was there. The original image is huge (12000 pixels wide). The “Mont des Arts” (meaning “hill of the arts”) is a historic site in the center of Brussels, Belgium. The showcase square was created for the Universal Exposition held in Brussels in 1910. It featured a park and a monumental staircase with cascading fountains descending the gentle slope from Place Royale down to Boulevard de l’Empereur.

The original square was destroyed during the post-war construction frenzy known as Brusselization; between 1954 and 1965, the square and its surroundings gave way to massive, severely geometric postmodern structures such as the Royal Library of Belgium and the Congress Palace. The Mont des Arts offers one of Brussels’ finest views. From the vantage point on a hill, the famous tower of the Brussels Town Hall at the Grand Place is clearly visible. ©Ben Heine

YouTube Featured Clips This week – Music and their life

Some people want to memory their lives in images or videos that could be their valuable in the future. Since human brain is not capable of storing many memories at once, many of us depend on image equipments such as cameras and camcorders. Let’s take a look at the record that has been filmed by our friend with a camera that is inseparable from our lives.

Document the life.

#1. The first video will joy our ears rather than present the beauty of visual. The well-known classic music, Canon, was played with a number of musicians with classic guitars. The play was filmed with WB2000(TL350) camera. Although the play is happening in indoor, we can still listen to the beautiful sound and harmony of guitars.

#2. Here is a drum beat you may feel goose bumps all over your body. The beat was played by a Dutch band. In fact, the band members eat and sleep in the self-constructed car storage to practice their music. I admire their passions for their music. The camera was equipped with fisheye lens when filming.

Gion Matsuri festival in Kyoto

In July, I’ve travelled to Japan with my girlfriend. On our three weeks trip we saw many amazing sights and experienced the Japanese way of living. It was a treat to our eyes and cameras. In this blog entry I would like to share with you some photos of the Gion Matsuri festival in Kyoto.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/250s │ f2.0 │ 30mm │ ISO 3200

This annual festival is one of the many popular festivals in Japan. Beforehand, a lot of people warned us that it would be very very crowded, but due to all of our big music festivals in Belgium, we felt prepared.

What we saw was something quite different though. The Japanese people who seemed (with all respect) quite modest, closed and calm turned into wild party animals during the consecutive celebration nights.

A lot of them dressed up, most of them in traditional kimono, but we bumped into a lot of silly costumes as well.

The main attraction of the nights we visited seemed to be a group of Shinto followers carrying a mikoshi (a portable shrine) on their shoulders, jumping up and down and shouting. It created a very energetic atmosphere.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f2.0 │ 30mm │ ISO 3200

Despite the beautiful decorations, the streets were dark. Too dark for most cameras perhaps, so I didn’t have to think long which camera to bring. I took the NX10 because of its ISO 1600 and 3200 setting in combination with the pancake f2 lens. The results were a bit grainy, but after all these are high ISO values. In my opinion, this grain doesn’t bother and I like the quality, especially when you think of the size and weight of this camera.
