Chapter 4: Random Photos and some cool camera features

Following is a user's review of Samsung PL150 (TL210) digital camera.

Well, besides from the random pictures from Buenos Aires i could also say something about the world cup… but what a disappointment. So sad for Argentina… I’m speechless :(

So, let’s go to the photos :)SAM_0167 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/180s ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 80ㅣ13.2mm]


A little kid watching something, maybe his shadow? Maybe he couldn’t understand why it was so large.

Shadows, lights and some random guy with his random bike. Using the black and white mode of the camera.


SAM_0269 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/250s ㅣf/4.0 ㅣISO 200ㅣ6.6mm]


You’ve got mail! And they’ll bring it to you with this ultramodern flying Van. Not the best picture around, but I kinda like the colors and the lighting.


SAM_0582 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/125s ㅣf/8.9 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.9mm]


This auto and that arrow cached my attention. One great feature of this camera is the possibility of choosing the 16:9 picture format used in HD TV and movies. I find that very inspiring :)


SAM_0692 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/250s ㅣf/11.0 ㅣISO 240ㅣ7.8mm]


So, what the hell is this anyway? I love everything that has an urban feeling and I loved this immediately, but… still trying to figure out what this is. Any ideas you people???SAM_1870-2


More urban stuff and me doing stupid things. Ohh how I loved those red shoes. They are on the shoe’s heaven now, I used them so much that they got broken! Sniff :(


SAM_0025 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/6s ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ3.5mm]


One of the great things of this camera is the possibility to edit photos straight from it. You have many different color modes and you can add vignettes (those darker corners that I love so much). This is an example of that.


SAM_0330 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/750s ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.9mm]


SAM_0327 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/180s ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.9mm]


One of the most enjoyable things is the miniature mode (also known as tilt shift). You want to make something look like a toy? Then this camera allows to that with only one click. This two photos are examples of that. Anyway, the best results are from aerial (or elevated ground)shots, something I still had not the chance to do. Oh… and if you ever use this mode not forget to boost saturation (you can do that with the camera as well) since toys normally have vibrant colors.


SAM_1940 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/60s ㅣf/5.0 ㅣISO 80ㅣ9.3mm]


One cool lamp post :)


SAM_0184 [Samsung PL150(TL210) 1/125s ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.9mm]


Last but not least, the ultimate fish eye mode is yours with only one click ;)


Though you do not want to use this mode all the time because the distortion can get annoying for normal family photos, you can have really fun with this. Like always, it’s a matter of letting your imagination flow.
