I’d like to lie and say this was taken in the wild but they were in the otter enclosure of Newquay Zoo. I thought I’d miss the extra zoom of the S5600 as I was using the 50-200mm with the Samsung GX-10 but the extra quality and more pixels allow a crop to make up [...]

Picture #47 – Padstow to Rock reflections

The first picture (of many I hope) posted from the Samsung GX-10. It’s unusual for the river Camel to be still enough to get nice reflections like this. It was quite a hazy day and I was still getting used to the camera (first trip). I was fiddling with different settings and this was the [...]
Photoshop Elements and ACR 3.7 allows DNG update
Posted in Photography, Photoshop, Samsung GX-10 on April 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
My new Samsung GX-10 uses DNG as it’s native RAW image format so I’ve been looking at how I’m going to process these. I use Idimager to catalogue my image files and this can make use of the full size JPEG previews contained in the DNG files. The question is how do I get these [...]
Samsung GX-10 – Which JPEG setting?
Posted in Photography, Samsung GX-10 on April 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
You couldn’t possibly buy a Samsung GX-10 or a Pentax K10D without being aware of the debate about the quality of the in camera JPEGs (check out the Pentax SLR Talk forum on dpreview.com). Some reviewers have taken some criticism for suggesting that the default JPEG settings do not give optimal results without some post-processing [...]

I’ve got a Samsung GX-10!
Posted in Photography, Samsung GX-10 on April 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
After months of thinking about it I’ve finally taken the plunge and bought my first DSLR to replace the Fuji Finepix S5600 I’ve been using for the last 16 months. I’ve had some great fun with the Fuji but I finally got fed up with the fiddly controls when not in ’snapshot’ mode. There will [...]
Picture #46 – Owl
Posted in Birds, Finepix S5600, Photography, Photos on April 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I took this on ‘Old MacDonalds Farm’ in Cornwall during the Easter break. I’m pleased with how it came out as it was taken through a chicken wire fence. I just got the camera up as close to the wire as possible and hoped for the best. Unfortunately I don’t know what sort of owl [...]
