Samsung NX1 Touch Focus on Samsung Smart Camera App

This is a great feature that lets you use touch focus on an Android or iOS smartphone, using the Samsung Smart Camera App, to focus the NX1 remotely over the camera's WiFi. It's great for one person shoots where you are the only one shooting video and being on camera talent.

Start and Stop Recording NX1 Video with the Samsung Smart Camera App

The Samsung Smart Camera App lets you remotely control your Samsung Smart Camera with the Samsung Smart Camera App over WiFi. It also allows you to enable touch screen focus, so you can focus the camera by touching the screen on your smartphone.



It's very cool, especially since it allows you to see what the camera is seeing.

Should you edit your photos before sharing?

I'm testing out the Samsung #NX1, and been posting my unedited photos online. I figured that people would want to see how good the images are when they come directly from the camera.

I mentioned this to my friend Eric Swardstrom, and he said that I should see if an edit might enhance my photos before posting. I used to do that.

Take a look at a photo I shot at a recent Locally Owned meeting at Station 8 in Jamaica Plain.

Finally, A Beach Umbrella that Won't Blow Away!

The dig-git beach umbrella with shovel anchor is a fantastic product. It works as advertised and impresses people at the beach when they see how it works. It makes them sad that they just spent $99 on some other umbrella that doesn't work as well. The shovel works great. Easy to pull up out of the sand to when done.

What's intersting in this video is seeing how quickly the camera focuses on each subject. Also, when presented with a strongly backlit subject, the camera handles it well. Pretty nice.

Quick Video Test: Converting Samsung #NX1 to Compatible YouTube Format

I shot this video as 1920x1080 at 30 fps and then dropped the mp4 file into the Samsung Movie Converter software. Then, after the conversion finished, I trimmed the video with Quicktime Player.



I also used the Samsung Camera Manager App on the iPhone using a WiFi connection to the NX1, that allowed me to see what the camera was seeing, and control recording. That is a very cool feature. It's always been a problem seeing what the camera is recording if it didn't have a flip out lens.

This camera encodes video files using H.265 which requires a conversion prior to editing or uploading. I've been experimenting with different video recording modes and am getting mixed results.

Baby in 4K

I'm a babysitter.

It's a perk of being an Uncle.

My wife Carol and I are babysitting a 6 month and 2 1/2 year old once a week. These really are adventures in babysitting. ;-)

This week I had a Samsung #NX1 camera with me for review. I wanted to take some photos of the baby to see how they came out.

PHOTOS
The detail is amazing. I'm used to shooting photos with the camera that I have on me, the iPhone 6, but quality of these images far surpasses what I usually get with the iPhone. The iPhone is great for sharing on Facebook and Instagram, and viewing on a smartphone or even Facebook. But when you look at the detail here, it's stunning.









All these photos were taken in AUTO mode without any post processing.

VIDEO
Next up video. I shot these handheld videos in 4K mode. That's 4096x2160 resolution.





H.265
The resulting video gets saved to the camera's SD card in H.265 format. That's an up and coming format that uses less space to save video and provides greater resolution, but you can't upload this format to Facebook or YouTube, yet. You can't edit it either unless you convert it first. It will be good in the long run, but right now it's an extra step that's cumbersome.

Samsung supplies an app for that: Samsung Movie Converter.

I-93 Beer Trail: Massachusetts Breweries Close to I-93

Campy Man from U.N.C.L.E. opens in the UK and US on August 14, 2015.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie used exposition to set up the plot where two no-name agents from the US and Russian band together to defeat somewhat Nazi allied villains who want to rule the world with the threat of atomic weapons.

Wonder how this will be. #ManFromUNCLE #movies pic.twitter.com/MT3uqxMil2

Fans of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV show know the agents as Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, but younger audiences attending this movie will have to wait a while to figure out the character’s names, especially when Napoleon Solo keeps calling Ilya, Pasha. At least that’s what I heard.



Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin had great chemistry. When I saw Jared Harris, I thought, hey, that’s the English guy from Mad Men!

One upsetting part of the movie for me was when they used a photo album to show the atrocities that the former Nazi doctor did to Jewish concentration camp victims. That part went on way too long. We get it. The doctor was a bad man.

After the movie was over, I tried to describe it as a less serious Mission Impossible, or Matt Damon Movie, but then narrowed in on calling it campy.

It lived in between being serious and humorous.

At the end, there was a set up to make more. Let’s see if audiences want it.

Bordeaux: Chateau Reverdi Wine Tasting and Blending Experience

Audrey Thomas, owner of Château Reverdi, gave us a great tour and then sat us down for a tasting and blending session.



We learned that all Bordeaux wines are blended. We then tasted the three wines that go into Chateau Reverdi's wine, and had the opportunity to blend out own.



With notes on how they bend, we got a graduated beaker and proceeded to blend out own.





Everyone on our tour took this seriously and had a lot of fun with it.



Here's my blend:
