I just got back from a trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in southern Germany. Such amazing scenery.
I only used my DP2 Merrill and did quite a few panorama stitches with Lightroom and Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
Even now, 6 1/2 years from launch, it still amazes me with the quality you can get from such a small camera.

:clap: Well Done. Is it shot with some artificial light source from the left side?
Thank you. No, just a window. It's really rare that I use artificial lights.
That's impressive how you manage to get such steady shots at low shutter speeds (<1/50s) in ambient light with dp2m, especially for portraits! :thumbup:
You deserve a round of applause for taking the DP beyond its comfort zone

Agreed.
I liked the shot of the girl on the kitchen table and the disco dj shot.
Both so different and both good 'pictures'. Imaginative. An ingredient thin on the ground these days.
It is good to see someone being creative with the DP2 which is not the easiest of cameras to handle. I bought all three (1,2 and 3) but I use them too rarely as my Oly E-M5 is so much more foregiving when I get my settings a bit wrong.
However, I will never regret having bought the Merrills as, when I have the time to take pictures properly (aka not in a rush) they are superior. Superior not only to my m43 but to the full frame Nikon that a good mate of mine uses.
