The green lane is something of a pre-occupation of mine:

I also like ponds
This damned puppy likes our bed!

Jono: Very nice. Beautiful compositions and color. :thumbup: I like that you re-visit the lane in different seasons and with different gear. Where my wife works there's a photo collection with a print of W. Eugene Smithss "Walk to Paradise Garden". Photos like your first one, always remind me of it. The puppy's growing up. Cheers, Matt.

My first X1 images, all processed in C1 (which seems to give slightly unnatural greens). The IQ is outstanding for a compact camera!

T. Streng/Ashwin/Bill: Beautiful work! You all make it hard not to get an X1. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Out of curiosity, how are you all shooting with the X1: program. aperture...? Cheers, Matt.

Thank you.
I shoot the x1 80% with selecting aparture and auto-exp, with matrix metering and exp comp -0,3. I use a lot the 2.8-5.6 range.
If I shoot portrait in contrasty light I sometimes switch to spot metering and meter on the face.
And I quite often add a little fill flash too.
Other than that 99% AF-sometimes spot AF when shooting wide open in order to get the focus exactly on the eyes for example.

The camera is slow and I dont find it worlds better IQ than m4/3 but I really really like the size/light weight/quiet shutter and the simple user interface a lot.

Thanks, Matt. I use the X1 primarily in Av and generally at f5.6 to f8 which is where the test reports tell me the lens is at its very best - especially for the close-ups where I need dof. I use the auxiliary viewfinder because I can hold the camera much more steadily against my cheek/eye.

Otherwise - exactly what T Streng says!

Experimenting with the X1 View Finder, works quite nice IMO

Here: ISO 100, 1/8 sec, f16, pan shot

Best Regards,
Ralf

Here are a few from my recently departed X1. Loved the camera but with my M8 and lots of micro 4/3 goodies I just wasn't using it enough right now. I might buy one again in a few months however, love the IQ.
