THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX

THE PARK

From flowers and insects to adventure playgrounds,
there is always something to snap at the park
There is such a variety of things to explore
with your camera in a local park or garden
– action shots of kids playing on climbing
frames and adventure playgrounds, dads
pretending to be Frank Lampard, reflections
of ducks and swans gracefully gliding across
ponds, ground-level portraits of squirrels
being fed, using a telephoto lens, colourful
flowers and insects in close. The key is to go
prepared with your standard wide-angle lens
and a long zoom as well. Use the NX's most
appropriate Scene mode for what you're
shooting, or slip it into Smart or Program
mode and let the NX sort the techy bits.
If you are out on a dull day and want to add a little colour, in the white
balance select the Cloudy option and add warm tones to your pictures.
DON'T FORGET: INTERESTING ANGLES
Try not to shoot all of your images from head height; with a wide-angle
shoot up and down at kids having fun on jungle gyms.

settings may mean you
miss a great shot, so use
the Smart mode so the NX
automatically picks the
perfect settings.
