Photo Antiquing Again…
You already know that I like to photograph old things such as peeling pain, rusty nails, etc. I did just that again today to try out a new lens. I’ve been part of the Samsung Imagelogger program for the past couple of months. What this means is that I get to play with the latest Samsung photo gear. It was quite an honor to be asked to join the program and also a great opportunity for an educator as I need to stay up to date with the latest technology. This doesn’t mean that I only shoot Samsung. I’m still shooting street photography with my Fuji x100s and commercial photography with my Canon gear. Whatever fits the job!
I had never used a Samsung camera before. I received the GalaxyNX a few weeks ago. This camera has all the bells and whistles with WiFi and 3G/4G connectivity (it even gives me the weather forecast when I turn it on!) As you know, I like simple… So I must admit that it’s a bit of a waste of technology on me. I use it like any other camera, I shoot RAW and I process in LR. I really like its giant touch screen. You get instant gratification when you can see your images on a 4.8″ HD LCD. Yesterday I received a 30mm f/2.0 prime pancake lens for it (46mm equivalent). That’s exactly the type of lenses I enjoy shooting with, I love prime lenses! So I was eager to try it (wide open at F/2.0 handheld in fairly low light conditions) in my favorite store in Minneapolis: Architectural Antiques. There are always some new treasures to be found, here are few…
Love all your photos, enjoyed hearing about the new camera Samsung.

Just lovely. You continue to inspire me! I’ve begun working with film using a nearly fifty year old Pentax Spotmatic. Fun stuff. I love it’s old 50mm 1:1.4 prime.

Very nice set. I can see why they picked you as a Samsung Imagelogger. You made that camera look really good. Really liked the way you worked that F 2.0.
