Couple of days ago, I thought the moon was just beautiful. Hence, the entry this week features a moon shot. It  wasn’t a full moon, but I thought it was just nice.

I took this shot with my longest lens available, the 70-200mm f/4L USM. The shot was, of course, shot at its tele end at 200mm. As stated in the caption, I shot this handheld at 1/60 sec, f/14 at ISO400. I took three shot, and this one is good enough at the 2nd attempt.

Moon Shot: (cropped) 1/60, f/14, ISO400 at 200mm on EOS 50D

I’ll be busy with preparation for some assignment next week. Hopefully everything goes well. It’s good to be busy at this end, and I am sure all the effort will bear fruit when time comes.

Cheers!

There was no Picture of the Week being featured last week, due to my travelling to outstation, coupled with a shooting assignment oevr the weekend. Then, upon returning to Kuching, I was stunned (still am) by Steve Jobs’ death. He will be missed.

This week, I’m posting a sample pic from the ever-reliable Panasonic LX3. The trend these days has swirled toward mirrorless, interchangeable lenses digital camera, in the likes of Panasonic’s G-series, Olympus PEN, Sony’s NEX etc. Even Nikon has joined in the ranks with the announcement of the V1 and J1.

Despite so, I believe such high performance compact still has its appeal to the consumers. I personally would rather to have a pocket sized compact for leisure trip, than having to get the interchangeable lenses anytime!

Here this image was shot in RAW with LX3, at a 16:9 ratio. There wasn’t much adjustment applied, only minor tweak on exposure, contrast and WB. This was shot with the Macro focusing mode on.

COFFEE: Shot with Panasonic Lumix LX3

I personally think it’s pretty slick! The successor to this model in Panasonic product line would be Lumix LX5.
