Oic.....
#7 is a HDR shot.
I took 5 different exposures of the shot and combined them in Photomatix.
Then it all comes down to how u tweak the shot in Photomatix and PP.
Play around and u will get different styles of HDR.

Love this camera so much but still at the shop,, haih out of budget!!

Your shots remind me of Cinque Terre, Italy.....the seaside had clouds that looked almost like what u have captured here.
Great stuff

Shot #1 & #6 is a bit badly composed though....
Shot #1 no subject matter.....Shot #6 has too many over-lapping sillhouttes and is under-exposed.

Your B&W shots managed to captured the rainy feel though, which I myself tried but failed....kekekek......

PCHo really got many nice works with da LX3..lova da HK trip photos very much..
u poison ppl with da LX3 and also da HK scenery together...
make me feel like going HK soooo much...again~
about da photo #4..if can include more of da ship with da red colour yatch will be better..juz feel it will be better like tat..


consider as nt bad if this is da 1st 6 photos u take with LX3...where u nt really familiar enough with da LX3..
way to go man..keep learning and keep shooting..
i like ur photos #3 and #4..but da composition maybe can be improve a lil bit..
overall is nt bad..da colour is good and da photos is sharp enough..and have to pay more attention with da composition before u press da shutter..
da last 2 b&w no comment...but y u put so high ISO..or u purposely wana make it like so looks like an old photos??
anyways..nice job man..keep it roll..shooot more and share more..

Thanks zeeker87~!
Hong Kong was really a great place to visit

Ya, same feeling for #4.
I would've liked more of the "duk ling" ship in the shot too.
It was more in the shot in the original uncropped version, but I had a slanting horizon, so I had to rotate the shot and crop out the sides and the ship was part of the sacrifice....sigh.....
Maybe next year go back and take another one

haha..i see..like tat no choice also..if nt the horizontal lean to one side very funny..
wah..next year go back again??hahaha..i dono when will save enuf money to go..still studying..
hope can go faster..have to work harder and save more money..

thanks for the comments man.
unlike most people on this forum (i think), i actually enjoy capturing noisy/grainy images.
the last two were taken with the film grain scene mode. PCHo, you should check it out!
here's another one, but not as grainy. prolly not the kind of images that you guys dig, but i'll share it anyway.

Cannot see any "Grains" in ur shot wor.
And the compo would've been better if you walked like 10 steps forward.
You are too far away from the light source.


Will try out the film grain.
Mostly playing around with the film modes now.
dynamic, smooth, dynamic B&W (love this mode ), etc.

Hahahaha.....then that means zeeker87 is trying to cheat me???


I think beaches should have lots of hot chicks...
Ken Ding....

The first three shots are so marvelous that they reminded me of National Geographics. Haha~ You did a great job!

Can you guys pls post more bokeh pics? I know you can't do bokeh on non-macro shots well with compacts, but I wanna see what's the limit of its powaa, i.e. the bokeh-ness on portrait/etc photography within a distance. Thx!

Haha..are u sure about tat?
when i go last time..me and my fren is like "non-stop' having eye candy..
although da climate is abit cold at tat time..but the chicks is definitely hot..

anyway..this is a candid photo i took in a LRT..while moving..hahaha..so abit blurred..
c&c is welcome..

Seems like you have a lot of gadgets. Rich kid spotted.

But I think the bokeh-ness ain't that obvious. Can you yield some bokeh pics shooting non-macro objects (those within a distance, like 50cm-2m from your range)?

Hahahaha.....not mine la.....the hp.
My gf's

Got time then I post some.
But the bokeh for LX3 of course not that geng as DSLRs.
Dun expect miracles
