A late personal review of a camera that still performs - the NX Mini

These scenes were captured in the historical towns of both Washington and Bath, North Carolina.

All images captured with the NX Mini and kit 9-27 F3.5-5.6 IS lens. All images captured in RAW file mode, AWB, Aperture Priority (F5.6-6.3). RAW files were imported and converted using ACR within Photoshop CC. Subsequent completed files were saved as TIF files (for my master files). JPG's were created from these TIF files using the superb (free) program known as "Irfanview."

Do note the following:

1. Although Irfanview does a superb job of converting and creating JPG files with many options available (more so than most conversion programs), when converting from TIF to JPG, the exif data is unfortunately stripped.

2. The weather conditions at the time these images were absolutely horrible, meaning hot, typical Southern USA high humidity, strong haze, and horrible contrasts. As a result, they would have looked much better (color balance-wise) in the Spring or Fall.

The Pamlico River waterfront in Washington, NC has around 3 miles worth of board walks and walk-ways, ideal for early morning and early evening walks along the waterfront.

Another example of the many walkways along the waterfront.

The NC Estuarium museum in Washington, showcasing a variety of environmental concerns and issues, along with wildlife.

A typical Washington, NC downtown scene. Many of these small, historical downtown areas in various NC smaller towns are seeing a revitalization in both business and tourism.

The Historic St. Peter's Episcopal church. Some of the graves there date back to the late 1600's, with many graves marked by Revolutionary war and civil war participants.

These old buildings served as ammunition and weapons storage for the Union forces who occupied Washngton, NC during the civil war.

Taken at ISO 1600 - one of the many scenes inside the Estuarium museum. This turned out brighter than I thought it would be. Sorry about that.

The historic (and well kept) historic residence known as the Palmer-Marsh home. Col. Robert Palmer, surveyor general, collector for the Port of Bath, and member of the Governor's council during the Revolutionary period in American history, later owned the house.
