The Small Things
It is cold and breezy, and I am having problems with my balance this morning. It took me a while to make these with the TG-5, not because of the camera but because I couldn’t hold the camera steady and was having trouble staying upright.
Colors Yesterday
Just to show you that I also like the colors made with the D-LUX 6. The first image was still in the morning and the other two were early afternoon. The first was zoomed in and the next two were wide. I have been leaving the aspect ratio square for a while since I like it for flowers, etc. and seeing how it works for other views.
This older, used, small sensor point and shoot camera is one of the best such cameras I have used. I almost want to put it away and not use it just to keep it longer; but, I shipped my Olympus PEN-F back to Olympus for some minor repairs so I might use the D-LUX 6 more for a while as I walk around.
One reminder, I am using the D-LUX 6 raw files along with Adobe LR Classic to process the images, so what you see isn’t what you get straight out of the camera with jpegs.
Back to Fun
When I get tired of lugging even a micro 4/3 camera around, I resort to a favorite pastime of mine which is using the Leica D-LUX 6 to make images like above. I like to get up close and capture the smaller things with a small camera. I also like making this style of toned monochromes.
Morning Blues
I checked the weather forecast first thing this morning and saw that it was to be in the 40s, windy, and with showers today. Looks like another ducky day. I then thought that I better grab these images peering through the window blinds while I had the chance. As I’m writing this the sky is now a solid gray.

Sweet Life at Homewood

Last evening, we had a banquet at Homewood at Plum Creek to honor the volunteers. Following the banquet, we were entertained by Sweet Life Music by Matt & Carol Frigm. They were great! If you ever get a chance to see and listen to them I encourage you to go. Short of that, you can see more about them and the great work they do by going to their web site, Sweet Life Music.com.
Remembering
While the weather wasn’t so nice yesterday, I decided to work on a couple of older images as I remembered that at least it was warm and dry for a few days.
