outdoor with bright lights ar? get a tube and use a CPL filter.  it will give you nicer results...

retail was RM1799, i asked can discount or not, she told me RM1599....i know that was the standard price and i was in a hurry, so i didn't haggle on...

maybe you can ask for more lah....hehe....
*
so LX3 + tube + CPL filter
hmm okies..
i need to get one before this thursday coz going to baloon fiesta + i am leaving msia soon..

thank you so much lokgotz for your feedback

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 blush.gif

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..
you wanna buy like all the accessories for ur cam..

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

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  shakehead.gif

Any other suggestions?  sweat.gif

Hi there joeylny,
You've been quite active recently after u got ur LX3~1
kekeke  laugh.gif

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.  wink.gif
yes sir! LOL
now finding how to change aperture *hmmm*
i am like totally blur bout this cam so need to ask more from u sifus mar so i am gonna be active here for quite some time
i shud have bought the adapter tube plus uv filter.. like u did..btw how long did it take to reach u from hk to msia?

QUOTE(PCHo @ Mar 19 2009, 02:05 PM)
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.... shakehead.gif
That's like thousands of ppl downloading my pictures  doh.gif
I think there must be a mistake....
Anyway, registered a 2nd one and I am back to business  tongue.gif

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

i also wanna be ur god sis class for 2? hahHa just kidding
