trying out my new SCL camera

yep after a couple of years saving for one i finallyu got myself a samsung GX1S digital SCL camera and yeah its fantastic. i ordered the weekend and got it yesterday and so i decided to go to alton towers for a bit to test it out. im not posting this in the trip report forum as this isnt a report, its just to show off the quility you can expect from my pictures from now on.
its only got a 1GB memory card in it ATM so it will only take 350 photos, i filled that in 4 hours today so i guess i need a bigger one lol. anyway heres some of the awsome photos and the qulity is fantastic.

























sorry the last 2 photos are just pure coaster porn

also im looking for a very good photo editing program. was thining adobe photo shop but if anyone thinks theres anything better please tell me about it and feel free to express your opinions on the photos. some the exposure isnt quite right but its a new toy and im playing with it lol

Nice Pictures. Very clear. Umm... I would just go with photoshop, it's a very nice program and it does practically everything you'd want it to do.

Nice photo's Gary. Some close up's look really nice. Also it looks like you had some great weather at Alton Towers. [:)]

What are the stats from your new camera?

SLR's rule (not sure what the acronym for SCR is...) rule, dont they?

BTW, yours is a discountinued Pentax - if you wonder about attachments and stuff. Interesting camera choice but should be good. Pentax was a good name.

Adobe Photoshop, definitely. But if that's out of your price range, go for GIMP. It's free, and it's what I use.

Adobe Lightroom is the best Pure Photo Editor...ever. It was designed by some of the worlds leading photographers to be everything youd need from photoshop, but without the other stuff. Plus they added a bunch of new and cooler stuff. Even the way the history works is worlds better than PS.

Plus, if you buy it, half or less the price of Photoshop.

lol, I don't know how much photoshop costs, but I got it for free as a gift through my dad's company. [:D]

yeah i know its not a new one but it was alot less than i was going to pay and as its my first high qulity camera i wanted something to get into it, if i start getting into my photography alot i will get a better one.
it works very well though but i just got to get used to the settings and how to use them to full effect.

i was just talking to a freind a couple weeks ago and as far as he knew pentax was the way to go because all their old lenses worked in the newer cameras.. i think.. nice stuff..

You should go to the park at night and do some light-graffiti over the rides! Ive never seen it done before and i think it would look pretty cool!
