At the nx100 Web Drama production set located at Beidaihe, the closest sea to Beijing at 3 hour distance, we met up with 2 leading female roles and 3 leading males roles.

Beidaihe, famously known as a vacation spot for people living in Beijing, and leased territory are the center spots for the 12 episodes of love, frustration and success stories between aspiring stars, famous celebrities and photographers.

It was a typical fall of China when we visited. The sky was so blue and the fresh air made me wonder if we were really in China infamous for yellow dust.

They were shooting the audition, award scene this day, and other than the title “Web Drama”, it was not very different from regular TV drama set. The scale was so big that it was somewhat hard to consider this as a set for Web Drama with dozens of extras, stylists and make-up artists, lightening and sound director and so on.

The new actress Hao Ze Jia(郝泽嘉), who seems very easy-going, working together with sophisticated actors and actresses almost made me feel like breathing in a space where China’s past and future coexists.

Although the visit lasted just for 2 hours, it was enough time to feel their affection and love for the Web Drama.

Macro with the Samsung NX10

Following is a Macro images with Samsung Digital Camera NX10.

Did you know you could also combine macro filters with your Samsung NX10 set? Macro filters, or sometimes called close-up filters, are a cheap way to take photos at a very short distance. You are so close that you need to be careful not to hit your subject with the lens!

A real macro lens costs a lot of money, but a macro filter is cheap and the results are pretty acceptable. One thing you need to be careful of is the size of the filters since not every lens has the same diameter. To see what filter diameter your lens has, you can look at the front of the lens or sometimes on the side. It should be indicated there with a diameter symbol followed by a number in millimeters. Usually it’s around 50mm. The Samsung Zoom Lens 1:3.5-5.6 18-55mm has a filter diameter of 58mm and the pancake 1:2 30mm lens has one of 43mm.

So when you buy a macro filter or a set of macro filters, make sure the diameter is the same as your lens! You can find these filters in most advanced camera shops or online.

Once you have them, you simply screw them on the front of your lens and viola, you’re good to go! It’s best to put the Samsung NX10 in manual focusing mode, because the depth of field can get very shallow with these filters, especially when you combine a few of them on top of each other. That’s right: you can screw a macro filter onto… another macro filter! Your lens might become very long though…
