YouTube Featured videos this week – Cat’s Ordinary Life

Searching for Soulmate…

It sounds like a greater task than what it actually is written down in words. Who is the person you spend most of your time with? Family? Co-workers? Girlfriend or Boyfriend? You arrived at home dragging your tired body, and before you even lit the light in your room, there is something at the corner with their eyes wide opened, quietly tip toeing towards to you to welcome you.

What about pets? Pets are really good friends, not just for single people but for nuclear family and for the elderly as well. They are a good companion and also being an energizer to our life. Pets make you smile and make you take them out for a walk when you’re about to become really lazy. I’m really into my dog these days as well.
The videos that I’m going introduce today are videos about cats.

Each of users took videos of their own cats but somehow it seems like the videos are connected into one story. Let’s take a look at the lovely day of the kitties.

First off, let’s take a look at the video with a green background that reminds us of a start of a fresh morning and the clear outline of the cat which adds depth to the video.

08:00 AM Opening a Morning>

The Happy Cat :]

This footage is filled with elaborate imaging technology of the owner and he’s affection towards the cat. His cat is still doing very well. :)

I think these sort of cute actions are what makes you want to keep and raise pets. They can be harsh sometimes but unexpected innocent behavior from them is what puts a smile on owner’s face.

12:00AM Happy shooting hour with the owner who just got out of bed>

#3. Samsung R10 – Using the Macro feature

Using the Macro feature

- ID: adzie91
- Product: HMX-R10

The close-up of black spotted cat is quite impressive. I don’t think I’ve seen the eyes, whiskers, nose and the licking face of the cat this close. What’s even more amazing is the excellent harmony with the background music. The camerawork that almost seems like it’s checking every movement of the cat is in great harmony with the music. I’d like to thumb up for owner’s sensitive shots. The point of this video is the utilization of macro feature among many features of HMX-R10.

13:00PM Two cats, Brandy and Nao, sharing their meal in amity>

#4. Nutrition for Brandy and Nao taken by WB500(HZ10W)

Nutrition for Brandy and Nao

Brandy and Nao is enjoying a fancy meal? I personally adore the lovely warm heart of the owner who is serving their cat with highly nutritious food taking their diet into consideration. FYI, this cat is the leading cat featured in one of Samsungimaging blog post called “Brandy Holic”. If you want to know more about Brandy, I’d recommend you read the post. I’m sure you’ll be captivated by Brandy’s charm.

Katze Antwortet speaking cat Meckerkatze

Where do you think is the cat’s favorite place? I remember seeing a cat drowsing at the backyard when I was little. Our Meckerkatze! Meckerkatze is sitting on top of the fish tank. Trying to catch a fish, maybe? J Cats tend to have the habit of seeking high places. Meckerkatze is showing off its amazing ability. Having a conversation with the owner!

15:00PM A sleepy cat purring>

#6. Burr purr sturm Samsung HMX-R10 video test 1080p

- Product: HMX-R10

A quick nap is like a medicine for busy modern people. Is the cat sleepy or simply breathing? Let’s enjoy the graphic sound of a Burr’s purr taken with HMX-R10. He told that he is still happy with this amazing HMX-R10!

19:00PM Bath time for my kittie, who’s been rolling around the whole day>

#7. Kitten Bath

Kitten Bath

- Product: HMX-H200

Our last hero, Kitten! Taking a bath at the end of the day. There are some who love water and enjoy taking baths but there are some who are eager to run away. How cute!

I don’t know how time has passed looking into a day of a cat through these 7 videos. If you are an owner of a pet who’s as adorable as the cats featured on these videos, film it with camcorders! And if that camcorder is a product of Samsung, that’s an icing on the cake for me! J You can check out more videos from other users at Samsungimaging YouTube.

My Love the Jumping Prince Gapdol~

The warm spring is coming close.
Like the spring that comes around every year I hope that the light of hope comes to our animals regularly as well. On this post, I want to introduce Gapdol who seems to be flying around every day.
We call people who bring the animals in to raise them rashly without thinking about their own condition, neglecting them in poor conditions, animal hoarders. Gapdol is one of the eight that we rescued from an animal hoarder’s place.

<PL70 l 1/15s l F3.7 l ISO 400 l 7.0mm l Program Auto>

When we arrived at the animal hoarder’s house Gapdol was tied in a place where there was a plank up that sheltered all the light.

<PL70 l 1/45s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto>

Gapdol, who was a stranger to warm caring guarded himself from us at first and refused us coming closer than within a meter.

<PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto>

We also didn’t get anxious trying to win this heart over.

<PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto>

We talked to him sweetly every day for a month making eye contact.

<PL70 l 1/30s l F3.9 l ISO 400 l 9.5mm l Program Auto>

We told him that he was safe now, and that we love him so much.

And then one day, Gapdol opened his heart; all the way.

" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: none; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=398 alt="" src="http://www.samsungimaging.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7_thumb.jpg" width=530 border=0><PL70 l 1/180s l F3.9 l ISO 80 l 9.5mm l Program Auto>

Then started Gapol’s passionate courtship….

" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: block; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: none; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=398 alt="" src="http://www.samsungimaging.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/8_thumb.jpg" width=530 border=0><PL70 l 1/180s l F3.9 l ISO 80 l 9.5mm l Program Auto>

By saying courtship meaning that he tried to escape from the fence to come into the office whenever we made eye contact!

<PL70 l 1/180s l F3.9 l ISO 80 l 9.5mm l Program Auto>

Gapdol is busy once again. While looking out the window, our eyes met each other’s.

<PL70 l 1/90s l F4.2 l ISO 80 l 12.0mm l Program Auto>

Sorry Gapdol, but your love is too much for me now.
But you are so adorable!

Animals are the mirrors that reflect us.
Because they express the love that we showed them exactly back to us.

CLAY HOUSE 11. Labradoodle, and a black cat

Fur, really need?

It’s one terribly cold winter with frozen fingers.
But isn’t it a good world to live in?
It’s not like the old times when we didn’t have enough resources, so we can fight through the cold if we wanted to.
So I’m about to talk about fur today.

One fur coat. This is the lives of 100 chinchillas.
One fur coat. This is the lives of 45 foxes.
One fur coat. This is the lives of 200 minks.

PL70 l 1/15s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

400million animals are being sacrificed for fur coats every year worldwide, and out of them 300million are through rearing and 100million are through captivation.

PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 240 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

The most noted animals used for fur coats are minks and foxes.
Also, starting from luxuries such as martens also known as sables and cuticles that are made from the fetus of sheep to chinchillas, hamsters, raccoons, rabbits, dogs and cats that are raised at home, etc., there’re nearly 220 kinds of animals that are sacrificed in the fur business just for the satisfaction of people.

PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

The animal liberty regiment goes out on street campaigns for the animals that are being sacrificed for fur every year. This year, it took place on the subway and in front of department stores where there is a huge crowd.

PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 400 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

The fact that our attention can decrease the animals those are to be killed due to cruel acts,

PL70 l 1/30s l F3.4 l ISO 320 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

decrease the people wearing fur by informing them with the reality of it-
it is the calling that we were given to establish a society that respects life.

PL70 l 1/60s l F3.4 l ISO 80 l 5.0mm l Program Auto

Can you see the hot press?
Fur is no longer a necessity.
The alternative is to not wear nor buy fur!

Full Touch Digital Camera ST550(TL225).

Rendezvous with World’s First Dual LCD, Full Touch Digital Camera ST550(TL225).

A teaser video for a new compact camera ST550(TL225) of Samsung digital imaging was announced first in foreign countries. As I was able to participate in a Samsung camera user campaign, I could use a sample body of the ST550(TL225) made before the mass production. Because I haven’t received a user guide yet, I could not check mechanical characteristics or all the features. If you want to know features, Click this link.

The operating buttons of the ST550(TL225) are four of power, shutter, zoom and display in total.

At the bottom, it requires a battery (720mAh) and memory of micro sd.

The back is very neat with 3.5 inch wide LCD (1.15 pixels and haptic touch screen)

As for the size and thickness, it is slightly thinner and larger than a pack of cigarettes.

It varies with the newly introduced dual LCD mode. The flash light is off now.

The front 1.5 inch LCD is not a touch type. I’m just fingering it in wonder.

Having a front LCD and full touch LCD on the back is the biggest feature of this product, which is fun.

The small square shows where af is (auto mode).

Whenever a half shutter is pressed, af, the small square moves in the front LCD to focus depending on a photo mode.

When I take the camera a little bit down at the face recognition mode, the af pointer immediately changes accordingly.

I felt that this camera’s face recognition feature is faster than other Samsung cameras. AF pointer quickly moves to find a face.

When setting up the self shot mode, a person icon appears from the front LCD and it takes a picture in 3, 2, 1 to the self situation.

When the children mode is set up, a short and simple animation from the front LCD is repeatedly played. The front LCD may attract a lot of people’s attention.

When I showed the front LCD to a sleeping cat, he stares at it and sleeps again.

This kind of ST550(TL225) dual LCD and full touch screen menu is still new to me. You may feel a minor vibration when you touch it like a cell phone’s haptic mode. The front LCD and self shot mode are pretty creative, wonder and fun. Any woman or student who likes self shot or family with a baby might use this with fun.

It will be pretty easy for making a portrait shot at home. In addition, you can pose different looking at the front LCD.

For the front LCD, you should set it up on the menu. Please refer to the below video as to the movement of the menu and touch screen.

I thought firstly that the ST550(TL225) is a quite intersting camera (It has no manual mode but auto compact)

The ST1000(CL65) launched at the same time has wireless features of GPS, blue-tooth and DLAN.

It has a feature of transmitting a photo taken via e-mail, picasa, face book and etc. and GPS to show location info.

I think that both are pretty interesting products considering that they are a new try.

 

Coffee Shops in Colombia

The best coffee in the world? You can find the answer in Colombia!

Colombia is the well-known origin of coffee and it is famous for its rich taste and high quality.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/180ㅣf/9.1 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.9mm]

From big chains such as Juan Valdez and Oma to nameless locals, so many coffee shops can make you satisfied. First, Juan Valdez is the most famous coffee chain in Colombia and this also is the symbol of Colombian coffee. A coffee farmer and his donkey character has become an icon for Colombia as well as coffee in general.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/20ㅣf/4.4 ㅣISO 320ㅣ13.7mm]

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/15ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.9mm]

However, Juan Valdez is not all about Colombian coffee. In my opinion, better coffee can be offered in small and nameless locals. There are a lot of coffee shops and bakeries in Colombia. They have delightful atmosphere and decorated with antiques. Also they offer a breakfast or deserts, tropical fruits juices, cookies, fruits salads, aromatica, ice creams and so on.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/15ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 320ㅣ4.9mm]

Colombian people start a day with coffee. They drink the coffee anytime, anywhere.

Visiting a friend near by

Once upon a time when I was bored as well as Brandy,

We stormed into the house of a friend living near by.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/45 ㅣf/4.5 ㅣISO 200ㅣ50mm]

Unfamiliar with the words ‘shy’ or ‘scared’,

Brandy roams around everywhere.

Leaving me exhausted trying to follow her to take pictures.. kkkkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/4 ㅣf/4.8 ㅣISO 400ㅣ58mm]

This is SaAk, quietly observing Brandy’s moves. SaAk is the cat that lives in my friend’s house.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/3 ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 400ㅣ24mm]

Difficult to spot the cat sitting on the very colorful bedding – a bad hobby of my friend. Kkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/15 ㅣf/4.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ50mm]

And Lance, who travelled far to meet Brandy.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/30 ㅣf/4.5 ㅣISO 800ㅣ50mm]

Everything is bothersome to her. ;-(

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/6 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 400ㅣ36mm]

This is ShuYa, whose black fur makes it difficult to distinguish her eyes and nose.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/3 ㅣf/4.8 ㅣISO 400ㅣ58mm]

Taking photos of ShuYa is very challenging because she is very shy.

This is the very best I could pull off… heeheehee

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/10 ㅣf/5.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ91mm]

Meanwhile Brandy.. has made herself very at home.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/10 ㅣf/5.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ91mm]

What are you doing Brandy?

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/2 ㅣf/4.2 ㅣISO 400ㅣ42mm]

I am looking at you!!!!!!!!!!!

The cutest toes and a self-confident body.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/30 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 800ㅣ36mm]

SaAk, the charismatic cat! Is that the best you can do?? kkkkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/30 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 800ㅣ36mm]

Maybe because of the stare, Brandy climbs up to the second floor.

Brandy.. are you sure you didn’t live here before? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/20 ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 400ㅣ24mm]

Lance, looking as if everything is annoying and unfamiliar.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/30 ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 400ㅣ24mm]

Of what use is a handsome face if you are so timid!! :-<

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/15 ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ27mm]

“Seriously… Are you sure you are a male cat? Meow!”

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/8 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 400ㅣ36mm]

“Look at me~ow! The elegant appearance that never loses posture no matter what.”

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/6 ㅣf/4.2 ㅣISO 400ㅣ42mm]

“Unbelievable… How can I be this perfect?”

…… :-<

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/10 ㅣf/3.7 ㅣISO 400ㅣ31mm]

“Prrrrrrrrr!”

The ever-hard-to-please ShuYa picking a fight with Lance.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/15 ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ27mm]

And the upset Lance fights back!!!!!!!!!!!!

ShuYa, you look as if you are ready to fly!! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/4 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 400ㅣ36mm]

Brandy, totally into the fight staring intently at the altercation.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/2 ㅣf/5.5 ㅣISO 400ㅣ91mm]

Looking very generous..

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/6 ㅣf/3.9 ㅣISO 400ㅣ36mm]

Brandy makes herself towards Lance, probably to give a word of condolence.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/45 ㅣf/3.3 ㅣISO 800ㅣ24mm]

“I’ll kill you all!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ShuYa cries fiercely. kkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 0.700s ㅣf/4.8 ㅣISO 400ㅣ58mm]

Brandy, frightened, cocks up her ears and raises her tail. Kkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/4 ㅣf/5.1 ㅣISO 400ㅣ68mm]

“Leave me alone….”

Lance - the one who is not bothered by anything or anyone.

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/10 ㅣf/3.7 ㅣISO 400ㅣ31mm]

SaAk. Would you like to say a world?

“Stop taking pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Uh….

[Samsung WB500(HZ10W) 1/4 ㅣf/5.1 ㅣISO 400ㅣ68mm]

And the crazy day was over… heehee

A few more shots of Lance as a bonus. Kkkkkkkkkkkk

 

All of images had taken with WB500
