#OwnTheTwilight - Ben Heine Photography with Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Photographer Ben Heine was one of the 10 Samsung ambassadors in Belgium who participated in the Galaxy S7 #ownthetwilight campaign meant to show the capacities of the S7 camera for capturing low light photos (something most phones really suffer with) thanks to its brighter F1.7 lens and larger 1.4µm pixels on the image sensor. This makes evening and night-time shots look less murky and more detailed and brighter.

View here below some of the photos taken by Ben Heine with the Samsung S7 Edge smartphone. The campaign lasted 4 months from April to July 2016 (The 9 other campaign launchers were David Olkarny, Sam De Bruyn, Cedric Dumont, Disco Naiveté, Tom Waes, Vinz Kanté, Amélie Lens, Elisabeth Ouni and Kristof Claes)

Don’t cry baby, you were born in a scary world, you’d better get used to it. Every life has its own little dramas and we're all scary in some ways. You are a flower, remember. Don't cry, little man.

Carpe Diem

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

O beautiful you in garden's heart
From point where tomorrow shall start
Playfully giving and receiving
In all this of going amending
Lasting futures impending
When flowers seeds are reviving

The love that comes into night
And sets out its feelings on flight
Where garden roses are true:
In each their approval and lore --
When love gives to become more
Of all that is to renew

Come On In - Silent Night
.
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
.
Come on in with your singing on so bright
The carols of love and every bearing
Bring forth peace with harmonious interfering
So we me catch the highest of clear light
Come to my heart and take out its senses
With melodious in its wondrous beauty
Like the northern lights twilight's sequences
The newborn in their destiny are free
.
A silent night comes to each man heart
With twinkling stars and the wishes that call
For harmony and prospect to this earth
Let each you’re inspiring from inside start
And be like the stars that for wishes must fall
To celebrate again Jesus Christ's birth

This is a view of the countryside in Belgium.
I took the photo and drew the sketch (I wanted
to make a very simplified composition on
the paper to match the landscape).

You and I

By Peter S. Quinn

You and I in spring first
Green rising high to new...
Flowing in gradation burst
Strength rechargeable thru
Each our while is beautiful
Bringing enjoyment to days
Gone are the moment’s dull
Those were in winter haze

You and I close to touch
Everything comes now easily
With the breeze inasmuch
As freshness comes breezily
Its ‘love me or love me not’
Till petals have been plucked
There is rarely aforethought
If feelings are misinstruct

You and I thru the breeze
Each day and in dusky black
So close beneath the trees
Cause spring is on the almanac
Bringing near to closer still
As life nurtures our foliages
Field flowers and on the hill
Air and rain acknowledges

The Time Is Like
a Windmill

By Peter S. Quinn

The time is like a windmill
Of wheeling on the waves
That goes up and down a hill
In moments of lots to fill
With wonderments and craves

The morning is shining there
Onward to fields and roads
And giving a circle to adhere
From some to almost anywhere
Of many its falling loads

Its silences and tones so soft
Filling the moments to go
And bringing around its oft
With a round and around waft
Like wind in breeze will blow

The day and night to give in
Of each its work be done
From dry to water full spin
Where each of both has been
Until the turning is none

Wheel will strive and break
To reach its own destiny
Give of what it will take
And always be still awake
To turn forever and be free

For it's like circle of life
In making its going turn
And as it too it must strife
And break on through the rife
Forever to go on and learn

The Wind is Blowing

Dancer of the Sky

By Peter S. Quinn

Dancer of the sky
Dance in clouds faraway
Every reach and try
Drifts and cannot stay
White hazy a yonder
Too far into the blue
Makes a gesture and ponder
As it goes on through

Happy moods going
Wind wind in its blow
Azure sky glowing
Blue and white as snow
Dancer dance your song
Into a distance dream
So I may still long
With sun evening gleam

Dancers of the sky
Run on the silky ways
For the gazing eye
In their heavenly plays
While these moments last
World’s beautiful vision
For a hope to recast
In our own precision
.
