Photography With The Galaxy S2

So this month I went on a little holiday with one of my friends to Devon! Instead of taking my digital camera (which happens to be a Samsung ES30) I decided to take ALL of my pictures with the Galaxy S2! I used different filters to get different results and got a little ‘arty farty’ haha! Here are the results!

Here I am at the wheel of my fiesta! my friend took the picture obviously!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turns out folks from Dudley get everywhere! Here’s a pic with examples of the local Dudley dialect!

 

 

 

 

 

This shot was taken from the Quay at Appledore, I like effect the Sepia filter on the S2 has.

 

 

 

 

 

Westward Ho! the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark in its name!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A shot in black and white of a ship graveyard while walking to the near town of Bideford.

 

 

 

 

 

I love the way the negative filter makes this shot look stormy! Actually it was a rather nice day though!

 

 

 

 

 

Myself flying a parachute kite (fairly low so i didnt injure anyone!) at Woolacombe beach!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also built a sandcastle…that was quickly obliterated when the tide came in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also got to feed some sheep!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also visited the old town of Clovelly, there are no motor vehicles allowed and all the streets are cobbled! It was quite a walk!

 

 

 

 

 

A shot across the bay at Clovelly!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A waterfall at Clovelly bay, the small cave to the left of the waterfall is apparently where Merlin was born.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since it was rumoured that Merlin was born there, I  did the same shot in negative to make it look a bit ‘magical’ lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we visited a place called Lynmouth, they have quite a rocky beach. I really like this shot though!

 

 

 

 

 

At the Lynmouth estate, they have two giant redwood trees, this is one of them. It’s approximately 100 years old, but they can live to 1000 years!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was also taken at the gorge in Lynmouth, here in 1952 there was a terrbile disaster where massive flooding took 34 lives. Today the gorge and the river have been reinforced so that it will never happen again.

 

 

 

 

I hope you liked my selection of pictures, hopefully that shows how versatile the Galaxy S2 is as a standalone camera!
