A comp of three images here from the Docklands/Canary Wharf collection. It’s an area of London that, like so many others in the City, is so full of photographic promise. There are two great likelihoods in photographing parts of London in 2009 : 1/ You’ll get some fantastic images 2/ Completely unexpectedly – or maybe [...]

Thanks to its Leica-logo’d f2-2.8 lens, the LX3 has proven itself to be a stunning low-light camera. There’s a feeling amongst many that shooting in low-light is a relatively rare requirement, and that most photography – literal translation from latin being ‘drawing with light’ – takes place when there’s some light to draw with !

For all LX3 users out there – have you ever actually had large prints from your files ? I just received today 3 prints that I’d ordered via upload the other evening. They’re 24″ x16″ (that’s the paper size …my images are in 16:9, so they’re printed full width, shorter in height) … and all look fantastic. [...]

From the weekend while I was at Excel, I processed this image of Poplar DLR station from the RAW file, then in DxO Labs FilmPack v2, and liked the Selenium toning option, in keeping with the style of the image. I chose not to add grain, so as to maintain smooth sky and detail on the [...]
LX3 SERIOUS AWB UPGRADE

Auto White Balance – Revisited. I’m using the LX3 more than ever lately, setting it for RAW + jpeg capture, and find myself using SilkyPix to process the RAWs when the mood takes me. This is really only to extract maximum quality from the file, though, and I’ve found that Panasonic’s most recent firmware upgrade has made a [...]

Another from the series, as promised, and got an e-mail as soon as I’d posted this to my zenfolio site http://nickbland.zenfolio.com … reminded one viewer of his old 4″x5″ days. I’d be blown away if LX3 could get close to 4×5 format film (it’s great, but not quite that great), although it does act as [...]

Having spent the last few days at the ExCel exhibition centre for the London International Music Show, I made time during the trip to visit Canary Wharf, for a look around some of the stunning architecture that the area is known for. Also, it was a great opportunity to make the best of the LX3′s 16:9 [...]
