Nice shot. What did you do on camera to get this effect? It's almost as if you're using a IR filter.
It was taken using the smooth mode if I recall. The IR effect might be a bit of a trick. The trees I think are Ghost gum trees and they have a natural white trunk covered by bark and it kind of looks like IR.It looks like the "Smooth B&W" Film Mode to me. They just come out that way from my test shots on the D-Lux 4.
Amazing what clouds like this can do for an otherwise normal image.Hello All,
That's a nice looking walk through the ghostly gum trees, Tim.
Had a 3 hour walk this afternoon, up hill and down dale just south of Bath. Saw some white trees myself, and some beautiful clouds.
Last pic is looking down on some water trickling down the side of a road, passing over small stones, gravel and fine mud, creating an ever changing muddy swirl. Looks like a satellite pic of the mouth of the Amazon to me.

For you, stick to Ricoh and Sigma, the buttons on those are far more spaced. I too sometimes find the LX3 a little finicky for fast operation, but that is a small trade off for a camera that fits in my hip pocket.The LX3 surely produces fantastic images such a pity thats it's such a crap camera to use, for me that is.... My hands are the size of an average size shovel and there is no way I can get to terms with it....
I use the D-Lux 4 version and my hands are pretty large. I had the same issue as you at first but then I just got use to it. I still hate the joystick as it isn't super precise (would prefer a dial) but you get used to it... Or not.The LX3 surely produces fantastic images such a pity thats it's such a crap camera to use, for me that is.... My hands are the size of an average size shovel and there is no way I can get to terms with it....
Hi, Scott,Anyone on the list who uses an LX3, just wondering what the firmware numbers are when purchasing new, and if there has been need to have an upgrade at all to this camera.
Thanks,
Scott

I love the image of the field with the road or pathway running through it. I think it would be even stronger if you could have arranged the camera such that the road cut diagonally through the image as opposed to going vertically along one side.
Still a terrific image, just my thoughts on composition
