Clifton D-LUX 5 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted March 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Folks, New member, new to photography, first photos. Just playing around with my new D Lux-5. Previous cameras were all basic point and shoot cameras and I am trying to get a feel for all the features the D Lux-5 has to offer. Â Be gentle, I'm still learning and the following photos were taken without the use of a tripod and with a lite breeze blowing. Photos were taken in my yard of our Pussy Willow trees in Bloom here in NJ. Â Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted March 13, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted March 13, 2011 Clifton, Â Welcome to the forum. A fine shot you have posted with nice composition, colors, shallow dof and sharpness. I believe you will find the D-lux 5 to be a superlative camera. Use it a lot and show us more of your images. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton D-LUX 5 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share #3  Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Paul! I really like this camera so far but I am challenged with all of its manual features. That's not a bad thing actually as I am confident I will only get better with experience. Hey, I can't get much worse  One observation regarding the D Lux-5 is the depth of field with larger subjects such as portraits. It seems it is limited unless I am right on top of the subject or if the background is far away.  Regardless, I love everything else about it so far!  Thanks again!  Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifton D-LUX 5 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share #8 Â Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Albert! Compared to photos I have seen here . I think the focus and exposure could have been better on those shots. I really am enjoying the quality of the photos this camera produces especially in the Macro setting. My wife can't laugh at my photos anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
