ehecatl Posted May 4, 2020 Share #1  Posted May 4, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Though I don't post much, I've been around these forums since 2003, when I was living in Salamanca, Spain, and shooting with a Digilux 1. Recently, I was digging through my poorly indexed photo archive that consists of images since the late 90's taken with a wide range of cameras (Canon Powershots in the late 90's, early 2000's, Digilux 1 & 2, Leica CL [film], a variety of D-Lux's, an Epson R-D1, an M9, and M240, along with a few other cameras and iPhones). Back then, I loved the Digilux 1 for its boxy shape and it's weird, almost watercolorish, low light capabilities. It was great to carry around Spain. I learned to be a better photographer with that camera by my side as I began to start paying more attention to how I could push a camera as well as work within its particular limitations.  Sometimes I wish I had chosen to capture the images in TIFF instead of jpg, but I was also worried about the space on the SD card (1 gb max).  A few months after getting the Digilux 1, I picked up a beautifully used CL in a camera shop in London, which also contributed to my learning about working in a fully manual way (with my earlier cameras, I went with full auto). Anyway, one night, the fog descended upon the city and a friend and I decided to go for a walk around the old city. Of my time in Salamanca, the foggy night photos are probably my favorites. Here are a couple. Saludos, S Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted May 4, 2020 Share #2 Â Posted May 4, 2020 Especially that second shot is magical. I agree, there was very little wrong with the Digilux1, considering the times (I had the Fuji version) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikozia Posted May 6, 2020 Share #5 Â Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Very nice. I still have my Digilux 4.3, built like a tank. The Smart Media card only holds 32mb and costs a fortune to replace. Edited May 6, 2020 by mikozia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
