1/6 sec @ f/2.0, ISO 400, 5.1 mm My fiancée and I are now the proud owners of a Leica D-Lux 4! While I was at Ace Photo for their customer appreciation day, I entered both of us in the contest for the Leica point and shoot. Earlier today, my fiancée received an email from Ace Photo informing her that she was the winner. She was able to swing by the store when she got off of work to pick up the camera. I spent an hour playing with our new camera tonight. I snapped this picture of my work laptop. I am looking forward to be able to carry around our new Leica on a daily basis instead of carting around my 7D in the trunk of my car. What makes the Leica D-Lux 4 so special, other than its famous name, is that it has full manual controls for the aperture, white balance, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, and flash exposure compensation. Bascially, it has most of the same creative manual controls that DSLR’s offer.
I processed this image in Nix Silver Efex Pro. I used one of the presets which come with the Photoshop plugin.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
