Here’s What You Missed: Cameraland – Samsung Red Bus Photo Tour

Back to Blog |

Saturday 26 September found our rooftop garden bustling with the voices of 80 keen photographers as they geared up to spend a morning with the Cameraland Team, Samsung and The Expresso Show. After a quick registration, coffee and croissants, attendees were invited to try out a few of Samsung’s latest mirrorless cameras for the day. The two topless City Sightseeing buses filled up quickly and we were soon off to enjoy a scenic photo tour of the Cape Peninsula.

 

The route took us to the Castle of Good Hope for our first stop where everyone was invited to explore and shoot the setting up and firing of an authentic cannon in the courtyard. Once our ears officially recovered from all the excitement, we were back on our red buses where it would take a lot more than some good ol’ Capetonian rain to dampen the enthusiasm of all on board! Disembarking at the Imizamo Yethu Township for a photo walk and a quick visit to iKhaya le Themba, the community welcomed us warmly and deeply inspired the photographers with their drive and spirit. Following this, a quick stop at Hout Bay harbour brought the photo tour to an end and we were all brought comfortably back to Cameraland for a quick debrief, fully energized, enthused and ready to take on the rest of the weekend!

Samsung continues to impress with their range and brought along a few NX1, NX30, NX300 and NX500 mirrorless digital cameras, all available on loan for the morning. Needless to say, it was love at first sight for many as the lightweight, ergonomic and intuitive design won them over. The coveted NX500 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm f/3.5 Power Zoom Lens worth R10 000 will be awarded to the photographer who took the winning photo of the day. Be sure to watch The Expresso Show on Friday 2 October to see the insert and find out how you can vote for your favourite.
