LX3 & IR

Tried Infra Red photography for the first time using an IR filter on the LX3. IR photography seems to go against the usual norm. You shoot IR in the middle of day where the sun shines with hard contrast. The IR filter is so dark that exposure can be several seconds under the blazing midday sun!

LX3

I was enamored with the LX1 while the world was struggling with the noise issue associated with the camera. For almost a year, the LX1 had replaced my bulky Canon EOS 1Ds system. That's how much I liked about the LX1.

Panasonic finally hits the jackpot with LX3 but I am now not so keen with it any more. I'm looking forward to a similarly sized digicam with a 1.6x crop sensor or a micro 4/3 system with inter-changeable lens.

Neverthelss, I do like the LX3. To be realistic, image quality is not as good as a DSLR. But it is sufficiently good enough. Images u see here are taken in RAW and post processed slightly with Lightroom.
