Lumix LX3 –out and about

Took Lumix LX3 out for another run yesterday as I needed to go out anyways.  The weather was spectacular but I think I got too much pollen in my system by last evening and suffered a massive sinus headache by the end of last nite on top of my flu. ^^;Anyhows,in this post you’ll see pictures of places,random stuff and food pictures.

Please note,some of the landscape photos (like the one below),you can click on to access larger version ^^/

One of my favourite weeds I mean wild flowers,butter cups!:3  I took a whole lot of photos of them and realised that yellow tend to not turn out very well.  I had shot the day’s series of photos in Raw format too,and edited a handful of them to make some details show up better.

Another buttercups shot which turned out,it was a rather breezy day so it wasn’t easy to get a sharp photo of the flower I wanted to focus on.

Man eating flower…JK:P No idea what type of flower they are ^^; The bright colours caught my eye so I took a couple shots,this one turned out better,I did edited it a little bit,but nothing major.

Pansies,which I edited the Raw to make the details come out better.

Lucky shot of a sharp maple leaf in sudden bursts of wind

Not so lucky but still interesting shot

Wrong focus but interesting (IMO) capture ^^;

Nan Chuu is a restaurant which serves rather tasty japanese/fusion food but a bit on the pricy side:P  Went there a couple times with husband during special occassions. ^^

Vintage car,image is cropped and edited from Raw to make some over exposed part show some detail:)

Leisure is a Bubble tea/dessert and snack cafe which only takes cash and open after 1pm. I notice that some food places major stores extend/change their operating hours as Summer means longer days,people tend to hang out later.

Love the mountain view! This image is slightly cropped. I took quite a few before I could catch one without a stray vehicle zooming into the picture:P

I walked to work despite some part of the way there’s no pavement for pedestrians ^^;Some cars drive very fast and very near to me once in a while:P Kinda annoying!

But when you look at how the roads are marked…^^;;;

I couldn’t walk on the other side of the roads as they had construction going on for weeks already ^^;With construction going on,the area is not as pretty to look at ^^;Image below is also edited slightly from Raw,as it was a smidge over exposed.

Aberdeen mall by day on weekdays,the traffic around here is alright,but on weekends Oh Boy!:P We heard from a friend that Aberdeen center has the most cases of hit and run in their carpark!

Other than that,this Mall is probably the most modern looking one in our area ^^;

Sky is so clear and blue,it seems surreal ^^;

A lot of inconsiderate people like to smoke near the entrances even though there’s a by-law saying that they’re not supposed to smoke within 5(?) meters of doorways/entrances. The worse thing is some of them don’t even bother to snub out their cigeratte butts and dispose of them properly after they’re done:(

Oh well:P Pictures below taken by my husband:) Aberdeen in the evening ^^ around 8-9pm I think after we had dinner ^^

I edited this image below a little bit:P may have made it a bit too light. ^^;

No editing for the one below

Ready for food pix? I was craving congee as I was feeling under the weather,so we went to have some Hong Kong style food:3 noticed that this place is rather nicely lit in the evenings. We normally go to this place for brunch or breakfast,but they do serve a large variety of food.

Below is husband’s order of Beef curry and rice.

I had their lean meat and century egg congee.

Paired with chinese donut (savory) it’s chewy on inside and crispy on the outside ^^ image below I probably adjusted levels a little bit ^^

Okay hope you enjoyed the series of photo dump!  Moar next time!:3

  • I think it was bad that I looked at this while I’m hungry…. I should have dinner now. But I agree with you,Van has the best blue sky. If I had to live in HK and see their smoggy sky everyday,I would miss Van.

  • I love the night shots~ very elegant:3

    I like shooting in raw,but it takes me too long to process the photos…I get carried away with making them perfect and my computer’s in need of an upgrade xD;;So I decided to just shoot in HQ jpg and add a filter or adjust the level if necessary in PS.

    Glad to see you taking lot’s of photos on the Lumix~ So bright and sunny~ It’s getting cold here in Sydney ^^;;

  • Ah,forgot to mention,your new layouts look great~! A lot more modern than your previous layouts [I realise you were only using kuberick with some changes xD;]. I think they suit you better,especially the rotating header images:3

    [Reply]

  • not a cloud in the sky…love the photos,btw was wondering do use the preset scene mode?

    [Reply]

  • @Koshiko thank you:D and I know what you mean about getting carried away lol I think with this new camera is that sometimes the only edit I need to do is resize:3 Please keep warm,I guess it is now winter in Australia? Thank you for your feedback about the layout ^o^

    @marvinryan yah ^^ we mostly use program mode (P) and change the setting to either natural or dynamic ^^ sometimes Vibrant? Still playing around to see what comes out best ^^

  • Ah that’s funny…I recently had the exact same type of congee XD

  • @lightningsabre huhu ^^

  • The LX3 is a REALLY good camera (although a bit short of reach on the tele end)
    Apart from the fast lens,the video quality is absolutely perfect for quick recording too!

    [Reply]

  • @lucifer32 I tend to take photos rather than make videos tho:) but I agree it’s pretty good for videos as well ^^

    [Reply]

  • Akari

    Ahh didn’t know Aberdeen looked like that at night >o<”really want an LX3 now…=3=

    [Reply]

  • @Akari ^o^ I guess Aberdeen is one of the more modern-ish looking buildings in Richmond ^^;
