“Children Mode” updates with adorable animations on Samsung’s 2view Cameras

esnic — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:03:56 +0000

Samsung has updated new animations on “Children Mode” for PL150 (TL210) / PL100 (TL205) and ST550 (TL225) / ST500(TL220). As we already know, Samsung’s 2view camera series have a brilliant function for those who want to easily capture their smiling children. We had announced, on the blog, a variety of animations on ST550 (TL225) / ST500 (TL220)’s Children Mode. And now, the animations have freshly come with a new character, “Pororo”.

Everyone knows that children are very keen on this character regardless of nationality or ages. “Pororo”, a cuddly little blue penguin wearing orange-rimmed goggles, looks unusual and curious, but always friendly. He would be a clever character which can amuse children and, at the same time, make them entirely focused on the viewing screen. Indeed, children are easily diverted… We are sure that all the parents taking their children out on a picnic won’t need to worry about making outdoor shots with children’s smiles. Have more fun now !

The PL150(TL210)/PL100(TL205) and ST550(TL225)/ST500(TL220) have especially been loved by outgoing and relaxed people for all seasons. It is true that smart ideas and sharped technologies are making not only a better world, but also a special leisure life, even for children.

Samsung’s 2view series are good because of:

1 Taking self-pictures easier than ever.

2 Self-timer function, to know exactly when the shot is going to be taken.

and 3 “Children mode” -animations to gain the attention of your children’s, while taking pictures.

If you want to download the animations, simply click on the images!

Promenade On Bournemouth Beach

I’ve visited the Bournemouth beach in a long time. I live in UK and Bournemouth is like a second home to me. I have friends who are just like a family and there are memories we’ve shared together, and a beautiful sea with endless beach. On an exceptionally clear day, I decide to just walk along the beach.

A family flying a kite. Father holds the kite and reads the direction of the wind and when he shouts one, two, three the daughter quickly releases the string and launches the kite into the sky. They were laughing endlessly and thanks to the family, I was able to smile as well.

After leaving Bournemouth before returning to Hull, I stopped by London. Spring was definitely in the air after Easter in London as well, so I decided to walk along the Thames River enjoying the warm spring weather and the cool river breeze.

When I was walking along the river, an eye-catching sight made me stop. Who appear to be father and son were carving the Homer Simpson couple on the sand. This father and son with a perfect teamwork have been working for 6 hours since the morning. There were no signs of fatigue and even when a lot of people gathered to watch them, they kept on working. Truly a wonderful father and son couple that matches with the beautiful weather!

My Darling City, Barcelona

One of the things I was impressed about traveling in Barcelona was the colorful exteriors of the buildings. There seems to be no ordinary building in Barcelona. They may be ordinary in shape and structure but each building boasted of unique and beautiful wall designs.

I think local market is one of the places where you can closely observe lives of the local people. On Ramblas street (Las Ramblas) in Barcelona there is a historical market named La Boqueria that has been around since 1882.

Known as the finest market in Europe, like their reputation you can find everything here. Specially one of the most interesting things to see is the way they display the goods. The vendor’s displaying skills are outstanding, it’s almost as if there are showing off what display is all about.

Barcelona is a port city famously known for delicious and fresh seafood. So the seafood is section is always busy and vibrant with many customers.

There are many tourist attractions in Barcelona but personally I think La Boqueria is the place you can experience and see the true sides of Barcelona.

As soon as I stepped into the airplane headed back to UK after a week of travelling in Barcelona, I started to miss Barcelona. The perfect scenery with the mild weather, the mountains and the sea. The cozy atmosphere where people know how to relax and enjoy siesta, and most of all, the nice Spanish people who always treat you with a smile on their face.

FIT and spring

MINY — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:00:21 +0000

For the first time in this year, I felt spring is coming. I was exhausted to wait for the warm weather and sun. One day, I was working on campus and I thought it is going to be a good idea to introduce how my school looks like. I might have wanted to capture the scenes that I have been seeing for 3 years because I am officially going to graduate this May. Anyway, enjoy the young spirit and passion for fashion.

Hello, everyone. How have you been? Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather.

I went to NY with my mama 2 weeks ago. It would’ve been really nice if it were sunny.

Before we leaf home, my mama had to clean the house. It was so messy. My mama didn’t agree with me putting a picture of her messy house on this site but in this picture, you still see it. You have to promise that you won’t tell her about his picture :)

[Samsung ST500(TL220) 1/45ã…£f/3.5 ã…£ISO 240ã…£4.9mm]

Winter Wonderland, Highland

Iseul — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:01:34 +0000

Highland, literally, means the north of Scotland, the high areas. I decided to take a one day tour of Highland through a Highland tour company. The tour bus driver said that Highland bus tour course is one of the greatest one day tour courses in Europe. This tour is a 12 hour tour which leaves Edinburgh at 8 o’clock in the morning and returns at 8 o’clock in the evening. But to see the famous beautiful snowy landscape of Highland I’ve decided to endure that much.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/500s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

Before arriving at Highland, the bus stopped for a moment for a photo time. I was asleep on the way and when I opened my eyes, a jaw dropping scenery spread before my eyes. The snowy scenery of Scotland, with many rocky mountains, was really unique. The clear color of the sky and snowy landscape of the rocky mountain were harmonious and marvelous that even looking at it directly it makes you wonder whether you’re looking at a picture.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/350s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

At last we arrived at the town with Loch Ness, the highlight of Highland tour. The scenery of the town which was surrounded by the snowy mountains and lake deep as the sea was breathtaking. As soon as I arrived at the town the first thing that captured my eye was the boat dock. The boat you see in the picture is the boat I’m going to ride to see the Loch Less.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/180s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

Finally, I’m on the boat. Let’s go! Loch Less is the biggest and the deepest lake in UK with 36km in length and 230m in depth. The Loch Less seen from the boat didn’t look like a lake but seemed more like the sea. The water is too deep that the color of the water was black and you couldn’t see the end of Loch Less.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/350s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

Because of its enormous size, there are a lot of rumor saying that there’ a monster living inside. I just laughed when I heard that rumor but to see the real Loch Less it made me think there could be a real monster inside. The size of Loch Less was overwhelming and it was enough to stimulate the imaginations of numerous tourists.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/750s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

While I was observing the scenery through the windows of the boat, I found this cute monster attached to the window. I took a picture of this cute monster and it seemed like the real monster living in Loch Less. And at the entrance of the town, there stands a big structure which embodies the monster. If there was a monster, they imagined it would look like it but to me eyes it just looked cute. The name of the monster is “˜Nessi’. How can it not be cute?

ST500(TL220) │ 1/350s │ 3.5f │ ISO80 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

On the bus ride back to Edinburgh after seeing Loch Less, once again we had photo time. And there, we met children playing riding sleds. There are many hills in Highland that it seemed like if you just come out with a sled you can ride sleds everywhere. The snowy scenery of Highland seen behind the joyful family makes you admire once again.

ST500(TL220) │ 1/15s │ 3.5f │ ISO240 │ 4.9mm │ Program Auto

After ending a few days of travel to Edinburgh and Highland, lastly I wrote a letter on a card to my family which I bought as a souvenir. The drawing of the cow on the card is the Highland cow which lives in Highland, and the fur attached to the card is the real fur of Highland cow. Whether it’s true or not, goodbye for now!

Hello, everybody.

How have you been?

We’ve been busy but we are ok :D

My mama’s office moved to a new office right before Christmas.

This is a new office in this picture.

I went to her office and helped her with unpacking the boxes.

[Samsung ST500(TL220) 1/45ã…£f/3.5 ã…£ISO 400ã…£4.9mm]

We visited Alex’s parents’ house and and had a good time.

I got to take this picture with Alex’s first ornament.

So sweet!

[Samsung ST500(TL220) 1/15ã…£f/3.5 ã…£ISO 800ã…£4.9mm]

We had some crazy snow here in December.

It snowed only on the weekend.

We’ve been praying that we would like to get some snow on the weekdays.

If it snows a lot on the weekdays, my mama doesn’t have to deal with going to work or school.

We all hope that it would happen soon!!

The most basic in self-portrait, yet tricky requiring various skills, is taking the photo from the front. In the former postings, we went over using different angles to make your face appear smaller or more voluminous. Today, let’s take a look into how to create different images from the front.

This posting will show all the portraits of the model. Like a free giveaway. Although the models felt a bit uncomfortable about taking self-portraits at the beginning, when I placed the camera gently on their hands and provided a comfortable surrounding, they quickly got comfortable. At the first sight of ST550, all the models cried,

“OH,MY,GOD!”

I guess Front LCD is born with the talent to shock not only children but adults as well. Such a goody camera!

In the case of Daniel wearing the pink dress, she quickly got accustomed to the camera as if she was one body with the camera and produced a wide variety of shots. The pictures seem to deliver how hooked she is. For front shots, there is the risk of getting a boring frame, but put your face close to the lens and make funny faces. One thing to watch out is to locate the camera between the eyes. Before wrapping up, let me share a few shots of models taken from the front. I guess this is quite a short posting. In the next post, which will be the last one, I’ll share tips for children. Merry Christmas!

Hello, everyone!

I’m back again!

My mom and Alex brought me to Ohio to visit Alex’s grandparents.

It took about 9 hours from VA to OH by car.

It was such a long drive but it was totally worthy!

Do you still remember that

MINY — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 07:58:07 +0000

Do you still remember that argument with your friends or family when you believed that Santa Claus was coming to you bringing a bunch of toys through your chimney and they told me it was not true? Yes, I do. I wanted to believe in Santa Claus because I didn’t want to lose my innocent mind. I was a child who was technically supposed to be innocent. Indeed, I believed what I wanted to believe.

One cold rainy day, I walk along the street near a major department store by chance and find that gorgeous Christmas displays grab my attention. I mumble to myself, “˜Wow, well done, they must be spending so much money on this decoration. Look at the moving dolls and LCD screens! Impressively detailed snow balls!’ I suddenly start critiquing the degree of completion and how the theme is organized with other components. I realize that I’m not seeing the Christmas embellishments with the same eyes that I used to. It does not give me the feeling of a mysterious wonderland like it did when I was young. It’s nothing I haven’t been told or seen before. I feel I lose my innocence as time goes by. Actually, I have had the feeling for a long time.

I want to purify myself by changing my perspective from the adult’s point of view to twinkling eyes of a child, full of curiosity about everything that makes me wonder. Is it a little bit cheesy for me to think that way? Is it too late? Or seriously, am I getting old?
