November mission: LANDMARKS!

by Maria Pia Beltran & Samsung GALAXY NX

Mosque vision, stanbul (Turkey) with Samsung Galaxy NX, 50-200mm lens

 As a Young Reporter with a great camera as I have the mission about landmarks has been "in contact" with me since the very first day I have entered in possession of the Samsung Galaxy NX!
Living and traveling in beautiful places gives you automatically and spontaneously the "mission" to take picture to the environment, the monument and the nature that surround the several cities in which I've spent my time in this months.

 People standing outside the Blue Mosque, Istanbul (Turkey) with Samsung Galaxy NX, 85mm

Starting from foreign countries, one month ago I have visited for the first time the wonderful city of Istanbul: the k-word for this historical place is mix. The mix of colors, the mix of cultures, the mix of sounds, the mix of people. Thank to my Young Reporter friend Hakki I've spent just a day visiting the hidden corners of this magnificent piece of architectural story but I can't wait the next time there! Here you have a view of the magical Blue Mosque: holy place well-known all over the world and when you can perceive a different atmosphere  despite the huge quantity of tourist.

Seminarium, Milano (Italy) with Samsung Galaxy NX, 50-200mm lens

Coming back to my country, Italy! Oh, what amazing things to see and to visit. Even if you have spent your entire life in Italy you will be continuously surprised to find new places, new landmarks and buildings that you have not notice before. Here's an example: in the centre of Milano, everybody can loose the detail of the seminarium of corso Buenos Aires thinking about Duomo, Teatro alla Scala and via Montenapoleone. And then, in one moment you look up and see this marvellous product of sculptore and architecture and remain in a sort of ecstasys perceiveing all of the details. Just a Samsung Galaxy NX can impress this emotion in a picture!

Trees and picks, Torino (Italy) with Samsung Galaxy NX, 50-200mm lens

As before even when I enter in contact with such a beautiful natural landmark I am surprised. Travelling in the north of Italy you cannot mention the Alps Mountains. In a sunny day they have the pick of a pink and glittered "sensation" and you may go crazy trying re-produce that colour. Here what has been enriching for me is the contrast between empty and well ordered trees and white-snowed mountains. Man and nature together...

"Sunset and shadows", Italy (somewhere view from the car) with Samsung Galaxy NX, 85mm

Movement has to be considered in the pictures. Even if your target is a landmark. Why? Because our life is movement. The Earth is movement. And to get this effect I have started taking photos even when I am in a car and looking outside. This tipical sunset light causes to me the strong "necesity" to immortalize it. My will was just to let this mix of colours enter into a picture...

See you soon for the next Samsung Mission.
