How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2480 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “c

When I look back over my Digilux 2 photos, I fall in love  with that camera all over again. There is certainly something to be said about the Leica photos....and for me...it's the softness of the high

New to D2 and an old hack with film. Have not used a camera in 15 years so I cannot take photos like those that exist on this thread. I am learning but did want to post something to add to this wonderful site. Would love some help along the way and feel free to dump this photo or remove it if you feel it is far too inferior. Learning to photographically see takes a lot of practice and then I have to figure how to apply the "mechanics" of a good exposure. This is a picture of my 1930 AA Ford. Unrestored and a survivor of its time.

It's a very pleasant photo and definitely not inferior (whatever that might mean in any particular context). You have produced a photo that deals with the mechanics of exposure well in a tricky scene - the snow is white (not grey) and the radiator is dark without detail being lost in the shadows - so I think you've done better than you think.

 

In my experience the Digilux 2 is a forgiving camera and if you feel more comfortable for the moment to switch it onto auto until you become more confident with focussing, changing aperture and shutter speed then it will take good care of you and provide well-exposed pictures in all but the trickiest conditions. There is a wealth of excellent knowledge and experience freely available in the forum and most members are only too happy to help if they can. You can help yourself to by using the Search function at the top of the page to find answers to some questions and other questions can be answered with the forum's superb Wiki.

 

Good luck and I hope you post more pictures as your confidence increases.

Thanks Pete. Perhaps the wrong choice of words. The images are so outstanding in this thread and I would like to learn to compose as well.

 

I know nothing about digital photography and in particular post processing. I will add more images as I learn. Would like to keep this thread posting great images.

Well, not exactly a picture out of my Digilux 2 but of it. And it comes with a confession too: This is in my hands for only a few days now.

 

I was always very intrigued by the handling concept and I can not believe that not more cameras have the same way of adjusting aperture, speed, setting focus, etc.! I finally had a good chance to get one not too long ago and I jumped on it.

 

This camera for me really stands for a great and unique user experience! And it is hard to believe that in a few weeks my camera will turn eleven years old! It has under 3000 actuations but I am planing to change that. Sensor was exchanged in 2008. My first picture with it went online on flickr (sorry, not here :-) ) not too long ago as I am pleased with the cameras IQ as well and which is impressivelly shown in this thread. I removed the original neck strap as I am more of a wrist strap user too. Hoping it will work until the year 3004!

A well-known Leica user recommended shooting a burst of three shots, not so much to arrest subject movement as to beat camera shake which is often more evident on the first shot taken; hence a short burst. For something critical it might be justified. But I find it generally unnecessary.

 

I can confirm, that the shutter release button "releases" relatively hard, with a strong click causing vibrations of the body. At least this is my feeling, that this can cause blurring at the first shot of three, especially if the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 s.

I seem to recall it was Elliot Erwitt who said he like photographing dogs 'because they don't ask for prints' ! Nice portrait, I do think the Digilux produces excellent B&W images (but then I'm definitely in B&W mode myself at the moment, my last few recent photo-book purchases have all been B&W).
