We did it during the Samsung NX Mini Photo Marathon. We took lots of pictures then select, transferred to out smartphone and shared it on our social media platform on the spot. I love my camera because taking pictures of what’s happening around me in my daily life has become part of me. It’s my natural reaction when the food arrive the camera or smart phone will be out. My mom once teased me, she said “you have to feed you camera first then only yourself, huh”. We, bloggers take pictures of everything and anything hahaha… Just can’t live without our smartphone and camera. Plus we get excited when we took a good shot and want to share to the world on our social media platform or send it to our close group of friends and family.
