this is HDR?

Nope.
If it were HDR, you would see more details in the tree trunk and branches.
This is straight "close your eyes and shoot the sky" type of composition.
hahahaa.....
My gf took it actually, and I loved it so much I just had to share it with u guys
Did some mild curve and saturation changes in photoshop though.

eh??how come like tat?

oh dear, your fish is really sick!
the redness you see is bleeding
it need medication immediately!
go to an aquarium shop and describe the condition
they would know how to fix it
but you would need to isolate the fish and change the water
and water change can be tricky for a sick fish
i've tried a water conditioner formulated for goldfish from Tetra, it's good, but expensive

That's what I want to know also....

Added on October 1, 2008, 11:29 pmYou need to understand 1st things 1st.....noise depends heavily on your ISO settings.
So depending on what ISO setting u r using, u will get totally different levels of noise.

In the case of the LX3, noise levels surges to quite high levels at ISO-800.
But relatively, for a compact cam, the noise levels are still acceptably low (due to the fact that compacts have smaller sensors compared with DSLRs).
And since the LX3 comes with the remarkable f/2.0 aperture, you can get the same exposure with lower ISO settings as compared with other compact cams out there.
Bottom line, you get less noise because you are using a bigger aperture.

For advanced users, you can even set the limits for the "Intelligent ISO" settings in your cam.
This helps control the max ISO settings your camera will use and therefore controlling the amount of noise in your photos.

Take a look at this shot.
Unedited except for the signature and frame.
It is basically noiseless due to the fact that I was using ISO-80 + a small aperture to keep the DOF + a very long shutter speed (10s).

hi everyone, Im so into LX3 at the moment eventhough i haven't got one yet... been reading heaps of reviews, opinions and even analysing those photo in flickr took by LX3.. haha

I'm a novice user in photography, and very keen to learn now... Just a question about the capabilities of LX3... Can it produces good "bokeh" effect?
the one with blurry background... thx

if you want bokeh get a dslr thats what i did
lx3 can bokeh but need to be really close

any accessories will able to enhance that effect?
i know that LX3 has some lens... like.. wide angle, tele, filter and stuff like that...

but so far, i google i can't find any LX3 stuffs like lens...

still in the dilemma to choose either lx3 or fz28..
can't resist 18x zoom from fz28

where is the best place to get this cam in kl anyway?
