    Today for the first time I tried to change my avatar. Whoa! To get my head into the frame, I had to start with a given size, say 960 x 1280, then change the canvas size to 1280 x 1920 (the 960 x 1280 image now floating in the center of the larger canvas), then let the forum software crop it to the square format.

    dalethorn replied to the topic D-Lux typ 109 – Church Interior and Altar. in the forum Leica D-Lux 11 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks – besides the usual difficulties, getting such favorable lighting was due to someone opening a skylight or windows of some kind, and there were the extreme contrasts from that. But I thought the D-Lux handled it very well.

    Doug replied to the topic D-Lux typ 109 – Church Interior and Altar. in the forum Leica D-Lux 11 years, 7 months ago

    This is really very nice I think, and the bit of off-center non/semi-symmetry gives the composition a little something extra. I like the light and colors too.

    I've been shooting this church interior occasionally with various cameras (Nikon ‘A', Panasonic GM1, Leica ‘T' and X Vario, etc.), but the D-Lux has done the best job so far, I suppose because it has the best combination of sensor size and fast lens. It isn't possible to use a tripod here, and since the best shooting location is braced against…[Read more]

    The weather's been gloomy… Here's an example, shot on ‘P' (A+A for the D-Lux), where the bands of bright light in the sky forced a 1/2000 sec. shutter speed, yet the darker areas held up pretty well. With a lot of these kinds of images I shoot, the darker foliage will have the big “digital” squares of pixellation – perhaps due to shooting JPEG…[Read more]
