analog-photo Posted September 30, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted September 30, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) 46 years ago my father gave me a Kodak Instamatic, after that I was stuck. I've learnt my lessons in the darkroom, for last 15 years with Leica M, now two M7. Since my attitude to photography is that it is a process of creativity, it's not about holding-down-the-button-shooting-off-10-exposures-hoping-one-will-be-good-enough, I've always been reluctant. I think photography is more thinking-before-pressing-the-trigger. Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to buy a second hand D-lux 5 at reasonable price and took it. Enclosed is one of my first experiences in this "new world". I must admit I'm impressed by the quality and the simplicity. At the same time confused, moving from a world with three alternatives; shutter, aperture and distance, to hundreds of combinations, including not asked for effects, is a learning process. Not to mention what you can do in Lightroom (not used in this picture). Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted September 30, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted September 30, 2011 analog, Â This is a great example of what can be done with a digital camera. I'm starting to get over the film only mindset. Until I got a Leica D-Lux 4, I used over 75% film, even though I had a flagship Nikon (D2Xs) at the time. I find the D-Lux 4 a shameful escape from serious deliberate picture taking and shoot far more than I do with my M6 or MF cameras. Ain't it fun though.

allamande Posted October 1, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted October 1, 2011 Beautiful thistle! Â And yes, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination in this digital world. It can even imitate some films' look without skipping a beat. But, to be fair, film has its own unique character and aura and I still do work with it, along with digital.

daveleo Posted October 1, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted October 1, 2011 analog, Â Digital is a different world, and in my opinion, we shouldn't compare film vs. digital anymore than apples vs. bananas. Go with the flow of digital and don't get bothered when it takes you far away from the analog world. Â Your Dlux-5 is a hot camera. You can get excellent 8X10 prints from it. Shoot at iso 80 and it will really impress you. But spend a day with the user's manual first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soo Posted October 1, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted October 1, 2011 Great photo. I love my D-LUX 5. As was said, it's a hot camera. Give it time. I bought Alexander White's Photographer's Guide to the D-LUX 5 and have found it very helpful. Have fun with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog-photo Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share #7 Â Posted October 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank's for all comments. I was out today trying to capture some of the colors of autumn (examples to be posted...) One threshold to pass is the limitation in number of exposures. I'm still thinking in terms of "36-37 is the limit and can I take this one?". Interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
