how much the viewfinder?

pic for today..

Nah, u can get either from shashinki, the ricoh one (u have to do a bit work to make it fit).
Or search ebay for a chinese brand (dunno what, but I've seen them) auto lens cap made fit for lx5.


It's actually an olympus vf-1 painted black.
I got it from a good fellow lowyat member. 100 bucks only.
The 17mm fov is actually slightly narrower than lx5's, but that's enough for me.

oh... its that an antique~

You guys are really good @ nite shots!

Hey, thanks for the compliment! But I seriously didn't expect the result came out will be so stunning!! I just simply shoot.. I think no matter how I shoot and what I shoot, the pics will still be stunning! LOL

Opps, so sorry har... Forgot to state the setting / mode for pics Pai seh pai seh, next time will bear in mind liao... Pls forgive me as I also newbie here...

Well, the 2 pics posted above, i just used night scenery mode (Turn it to Scene & choose it from there) And adjust the brightness (jog dial) if needed to.. I realized the outcome is nicer when u use night scenery (scene) compare to Program mode

Just keep shooting and shooting.You'll definitely get better with time

looking at all ur pics make me feel jealous.. very talented.. keep up the good works dude.. do teach me ya.. i learn lot of things here..

If you go rest your camera on somewhere stable or on a tripod.... switch to M mode... use a long shutter like 8secs + aperture of f/8 + ISO100.. the pic will turn out lagi nice

Added on October 20, 2010, 9:32 amThanks for another useful tips, sifu sniper... will put it on my minitripod 2nite...
so taking nite pics require longer shutter speed izzit?
i onli tot nite pic ned f2 and high ISO...


This post has been edited by littleprawn: Oct 20 2010, 09:32 AM

f2 n high ISO is when u dont have tripod or something to rest camera on. Whenever u have choice, use lowest ISO n stop down the aperture a bit for sharper pics. If taking pics of buildings n bridges then use about f4 on the LX5 coz f8 is the max n u will lose IQ there. Always stay in the mid range of ur aperture for best IQ.

It's not "require" or what.. try to understand what is exposure. There's lots of articles on the net that can explain it better me

What we have to work with is the relation between ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture.


For night shots.. you want black to look black without the noise and everything sharpest, blingest possible right?

ISO: higher ISO = more noise = detailed lost of noise cancelation. So you want to keep this as low as possible

Aperture: Using a smaller aperture like F8 allows for better sharpness across the frame. Lens are usually sharper corner to corner when stopped down.

Shutter: So if you have small ISO, small aperture... this means you have to use a very very slow shutter speed to get the right exposure. With the use of a tripod, this doesn't matter already.

If handheld, naturally you need a faster shutter speed to avoid camera shake and what not, in this case ISO and Aperture will be reversed to whats above lor (like the f2 and high ISO you mention)
