Experience London nightscapes from the sky with
Jason Hawkes and the Samsung EX1(TL500)
by Marta
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, has partnered with leading aerial photographer Jason
Hawkes to capture the artistic brilliance of London and its famous landmarks from above
after dark, using Samsung EX1(TL500).
Hawkes, an award-winning photographer who has explored the world taking aerial shots
from a helicopter, has shot a number of dramatic city night scenes over the last twenty
years and partnered with Samsung to test the EX1(TL500)’s performance in these extreme
conditions. The project, called ‘Samsung Nightscapes’, sees images of familiar, well-loved
locations around the British capital, taken from a helicopter, being brought to life. The
results of the project – Hawkes’ images and opinions on the EX1(TL500) – can be viewed
here.
The launch of the Samsung Nightscapes collection coincides with the opening of consumer
sales of the EX1(TL500), which is now available to buy in stores across the world. The 10
mega-pixel EX1(TL500), as a high-end compact digital camera designed specifically for
today’s advanced and enthusiast photographers, is the new flagship model of the
company’s extensive compact digital camera range.
Hawkes commented: “I’ve always loved taking aerial shots of urban landscapes – the
perspective and layout that of a city that you see from the air is a totally different story
from that on the ground, and shooting at night means that you can get the most dramatic
images.”
He continued: “The EX1(TL500) is a very impressive and intuitive compact camera, with a
great build. It has a remarkable set of features, such as the bright f/1.8 Schneider lens,
which would be valuable for any photography enthusiast, and I was pleased to be able to
test the extent of its capabilities during the low-light conditions on the shoot. The
