A few weeks ago I was in Paris for the Samsung NX speed event. I was there following some Facebook voting after a similar event I attended in the UK. I’d just like to say thanks for all the people that voted for me, without your votes I would not have been there! It was a fun filled three days where we got see Usain Bolt sprint and DJ, check out racing at Le Mans and see the sights of Paris (check out the photos below). As well as all the Parisian fun we also got the chance to see some of Samsung’s new camera products which you can read about here. All the photos below were taken on a Samsung NX300 (read my NX300 review).

awesome photo’s !
what kind of lens did you used ?
Most of them are taken with the 20-50mm f/3.5-f/5.6 and then the 5th, 9th, 17th, 20th – 22nd images where taken with a 50mm-200mm f/4-f/5.6.
Cool. I caught your brighton swimming images a while back on Flickr, but these are even more interesting!
