Sunshine-Kissed Day with the ST600

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

The rainstorm has stopped and passed on. A new day with a new creed were getting together. My name is Phoebe and I lived a little bit of everywhere; love and emotions have always carried me away. What I recently needed was an empty bag and a large imagination so I left my home, and soon arrived in northwestern France where my love story coexists with its reliable convention.

After a few days, I went out for a walk on a bright day where I saw a ray of sunshine dropping down on rural roofs. My new Samsung ST600, a brilliant gold color, was impatient to be sunkissed.

La Méaugon is a small rural village in the Britanny region where the Atlantic and old Celtic forests meet. It is not only a quiet residential area but a small part of the Britannic traditional farmlands, where it was known for its milk, potatoes, cabbage flowers and beautiful hydrangeas.

I walked along the small streets where similar houses stood until I arrived at a field area. The sky was clear with a few light clouds. The dogs guarding their house barked at strangers. The village was so peaceful I could hear birds flying and flapping their wings in the sky.

I had the chance to capture a train that was crossing an ending point of the commune. I saw a flock of goats in the distance.

While returning, I accompanied a whole line of electric wires in the air. They seemed to be an empty music paper under the shiny sky. From afar, blue-grayed proofs were taking up the place and drawing a range of sounds. It was such a sunshine-kissed day.

Light of the Wood

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

By a need of pure air, I went out with my new camera to crush the soil and take shots of the light. It’s the first time I use a reflex camera and I’m too excited to see what I could do with. Wow. I’m very friendly with this wood but now, everything seems to have other importance than usual. Through the lens, my eyes become much more sensitive to the details of the nature.

I’ve freshly obtained my master degree in tropic agronomic engineering, which means that I learnt the methods and techniques for maintaining the health and the productivity of plants. That’s probably why, I have always been feeling bad when I saw inefficient circumstances to their development, such as, for example, an over population of bugs that love to eat juicy leaves, a seedling that begins its life in a tamped-space to welcome roots until the moment of maturity, or a big and robust trunk that have been cut, that certainly will be burned.

Since the time I had this new camera, I stop my step for a moment to feel the sadness, to be concentrated on the beauty of those dramatic scenes.

Shooting makes me become more and more close to the objects. I’m totally absorbed by the light that falling here and there. I’m going from a spot to the another, discovering new area that I have never dared to explore before. I forget the paths, to finally reach areas that hidden rare mysteries, somehow attractive for one who likes to capture the nature by images.

Without caring about the ants that beat me, and an old passerby who looks at me suspiciously, I discover or rediscover the beauty of the nature. I thank to the forest to be so beautiful. I’m proud to be here and now to appreciate it, to catch the images making them everlasting and sharable on the Samsungimaging blog.
