Brisbane at Night

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:19:11 -0400

by: larrylgreenhill

Description}: Image captured with DLUX 3 in Brisbane, Australia of my wife leaving a restaurant. The light was not great, so the exposure was 1/5 second at F/2.8, ISO 200, and white balance set to automatic. The MEGA anti-shake technology couldn't prevent slight blurring, although the signs can still be read. However, my wife's movement turned her into a blur.

by: larrylgreenhill

Description}: This image was captured during a tour of a palace, die furstbischofliche Residenz, built by Balthasar Neumann for the Wurzburg Prince Bishop in Germany. We were told not to photograph the Tiepolo ceiling mural, but I was discovered because the D-LUX 3 makes the sound of a focal plane shutter. My Leica M7 is much quieter!

DLUX 2 versus DLUX 3

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 16:24:54 -0400

by: larrylgreenhill

Description}: RAW DNG image taken with Leica M8 camera, 75 mm Summicron F/2, manual white balance, of both versions of Leica DLUX series, the former DLUX 2 and the new DLUX 3. Notice that the rear panel LCD monitor screen is considerably bigger in the DLUX 3. Both monitors are displaying a 16:9 aspect ratio landscape picture taken in Wurzburg, Germany. The DLUX 2 crops the top and bottom to give a "letterbox" display, while the DLUX 3's monitor can show the entire 16:9 image. Also notice that the DLUX 2's screen seems more washed out. This is caused by its critical viewing angle problem, not present in the DLUX 3.

Portrait of Friend with DLUX 3

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 16:02:57 -0400

by: larrylgreenhill

Description}: This portrait was taken without a flash, so most of the face is in shadow. It is a study of light as much as a portrait. It shows what can be done with a compact digital camera when one is lucky! The shot was done at ISO 800, and there is not much digital noise.
