can this fit into lx3? i thought this only fit lx2 or clux3/dlux4 as lx3 have a grip.

yes it fits exactly. it is meant for the LX3. there's also a cheaper case that is split into 2 with a button.

the baloon festival what time does it open and close......?

Thanks for the info. By the way, have you considered to move your blog? I don't quite like multiply as I have to register to comment. Or, you limited it?

Nice write up.thks!
although it took me quiet some time to find the 'bracket" n i realise i can only adjust +- 1EV
Then menu settings i am not sure what i shud use..
i plan to go tmr late afternoon to the baloon fiesta coz cant wake up too early lol

What kind of setting should i use to snap nice baloon shots?
or else i stick to IA lol

i just bought a adapter for my LX3 coz of the previous post but not realising why i bought it for..lol
i need lens or filter or polarizer etc rite..
i saw this fisheye lens for lx3 quite interesting..

gosh so many accesories to buy for this cam..
shud i buy a dslr cam n only start buying accesories or shud i buy a lot accesories for this came alone..
now i understand why photography can be an expensive hobby..

digital camera P&S ones no need to bother much but once come up to prosumer n dslr really can spend a lot

joeylny...for polarizer n neutral filter, yu may see the functionality from here:

CPL

and

ND Filter

For some accessories actually you no need to buy Panasonic one..because it is very expensive.
but if you really wish to buy it,you may go to Midvalley Key colors (2nd floor, 03-22828960) and get it.

Here is some price which Panasonic dealers quote me (ori parts,and this is the price before YEN goes up ):

Panasonic DMW-LW46 (RM 629.00)
Wide Conversion Lens

Panasonic DMW-LND46 (RM 90.00)
ND Filter

Panasonic DMW-LPL46 (RM 330.00)
PL Filter

Panasonic DMW-LMC46 (RM 80.00)
MC Protector

Panasonic DMW-LA4 (RM 109.00)
Conversion Lens Adaptor

Eventually i bought my lens adaptor, UV filter from Ebay and CPL from Pudu plaza YL camera shop. All 52mm, cause its more common and might able to use in some of the DSLR. These are advise from Sifu here .

Total price is less than RM200..heheheh...

May be going to buy a telephoto lens too..heheheh..Rm 120++ if convert USD to MYR


Ps: dude...all these has been posted earlier la...you may get more info from V2 and V1 LX3 post...:-P

anyone offer/wish to get gorillapod in bulk??
where to spot for a cheaper gp? =)

Hi hi...
I did consider this.
But most of the other blog sites don't seem to fit my tastes.
I've tried blogger, facebook, friendster....
I didn't like the layout and the user interface.
The resolution for blogger is too small for my liking (the width of the blog pages).

The only one that comes relatively close is msn my spaces.
But then spaces tend to change the color of my photos

Any other suggestions?

Added on March 19, 2009, 11:11 amHi there joeylny,
You've been quite active recently after u got ur LX3~1
kekeke

About camera settings....
iA mode is good for daylight shots.
You can hardly find any fault during daylight in iA.
But then u won't be able to do some of the more creative stuff bcoz iA generally is a "snap shot" mode.

Once u get bored, u can try A mode to control the depth of field.
This is where u learn how to manual focus.
For the best bokeh, set the aperture to f/2.0.

About the polarizers and filters....
Polarizers help reduce reflections and bring out more green n blue in scenery shots.
While the UV filter is only a protective filter, a bit similar to an ND (neutral density) filter.
Both generally reduce the exposure by 1~2 stops.

Frankly speaking, u can live without these filters.
The LX3 is already a great cam on its own.
I've been using it for 1/2 a year now without these extra stuff, and I was still absolutely happy with the cam.
But in the pursuit of getting better photos, I wanted to try these filters in Taiwan to see if they make a big difference.

Hi, new here, happen to be interested in that LX3. The http://pcho82.blogspot loads much faster than khpc82.multiply.com. And you seems to have exceed your photobucket's bandwidth.
Thanks for the write up on HDR. Many times, had to just fake it (via cut, adjust & paste) with PhotoShop for customer. Good thing these are for small print and low rez output.
Hopefully I can learn & teach them HDR.

Yesterday checked, there are 2 or 3 shops selling Black LX3 in Lowyat.
I am not remember the name of the shops .
Sungei wang also have one shop who sells LX3 black.
I plan to buy LX3 too, but still looking for the cheapest price

Ya, i m not sure why, i m not sure how....but it says I've already used up 25GB of my monthly transfer bandwith....
That's like thousands of ppl downloading my pictures
I think there must be a mistake....
Anyway, registered a 2nd one and I am back to business

Glad my little guide is useful.
My god sis was asking me to teach her.
hahaha
