Advertisement Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Hi peterb, Take a look here Lake House. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmr Posted August 28, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2006 Peter, a simple and elegant shot. Very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gylee Posted August 29, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 29, 2006 Peter, a simple and elegant shot. Very good. I agree - I am suprised that this has not received more comments. The placement of the gazebo, the reflections, the detail and the lighting all make for a very pleasing composition. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beramos Posted August 31, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 31, 2006 Peter, A true pleasure for the view. Beautiful composition that denotes an excellent flavor and delicacy. I like it much. - BR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted August 31, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 31, 2006 Great shot with the reflection... this proves the nonbelievers about the FZ50... Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted August 31, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2006 Absolutely agree with Albert. It is strange how sometimes a really good photo like this gets no comment; I suspect there may be some "not a real Leica" bias? For me it's not about the tool, it's about the finished product. Well done. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted September 1, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I guess I should have mentioned that the lens on the Lumix is a VARIO ELMARIT f2.8 with a 35mm equivalent zoom range of 35mm - 490mm! (Which I felt gave me the 'legitimacy' to post a shot here!) Thanks for your comments. (I have to be honest I did cheat a little in the composition. You see, since I've owned a Digilux 2 I've always used the grid whether composing on the LCD or the God-awful EVF. A really phenomonal tool for composing. Particularly now in 16:9.) Peter P.S. I loved the 16:9 ratio so much that I just bought a Panasonic Lumix LX1 with its 8Mb 16:9 sensor. I was going to hold out for the new 10 Mb model, but after doing some of the math realized that the pixels would be smaller and perhaps noisier than the current model about to be replaced. And even with their new processing engine (which sort of got dissed in practice in dpreview's review of the Lumix TZ1) I decided to snap up the current pocket wonder before it became extinct. I attached a Voigtlander accessory holder (which fit perfectly on the the thing, by the way) via some wonderful 3M doublesided foam adhesive (which bonds to metal like you would not believe but won't damage the camera) and use one of Voigtlander's 28 mm finders so I have finder that reveals the widest possible view. I could use other finders (they have 35, 40, 50, 75 and 90!) but in those cases composing on the screen suffices or, I just get the idea of the composition on the LCD then hold the camera to my eye and frame via the finder for added stability.

andybarton Posted September 1, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 1, 2006 Posting shots using Panasonics with Leica lenses is, of course, perfectly acceptable here, especially when they are as good as this one Posts using non-Leica equipment (i.e. without the use of a Leica lens, or body, or both) should be kept to a minimum (perhaps to illustrate a point made by the poster or respondent, or maybe if you saw a once-in-a-lifetime fabulous shot with only an alternative brand in your pocket...) After all, this is the "Leica Camera User Forum", not just the "Any-old Camera User Forum" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted September 1, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 1, 2006 I really liked all of the same things that have been mentioned about this photograph. The reason that I didn't jump up and down right away is because the house seemed to be a bit out of focus....... and...... highly pixleated where the roof meets the trees. It is always possible that I could be halucinating as I am getting on in years....Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
