New Camera - Lumix LX100



I sold my FujiFilm XT20.  Just didn't need it since I upgraded to the most excellent XT3. Well, I have been looking at waterproof cameras, a higher quality one. The FujiFilm FinePix I took to Costa Rica was ok, not great.  I guess I am just used to a bigger sensor and shooting RAW.  I know, I am still shooting cropped sensor with the XT3 but it works for me.  At any rate, I got way off track and started looking at Lumix micro four thirds point and shoot LX100.  It has a fixed F1.7 24-75 mm and it shoots RAW! I was looking for low light capability too.  The Olympus Rugged water proof was in my sights for a good while until I found the Lumix. I bought the Lumix.  It is an older model but not a lot of upgrades on the recent model.  Plus it was way cheaper and B&H Photo had it on a significant sale. It does not have an articulating LCD but that is ok, I am good with that.  What I really liked was the micro four thirds censor and the 1.7 aperture.  I LOVE the Macro on it! SO fun.  Only draw back is the zoom button, it is in the same place as the Fuji XT3's power button. I keep trying to turn it off there.

We hit the the Denver Botanic Gardens.  Yeah, everything is dead outside but not in the rain forest.  I love that place - such good winter therapy. I am happy with the performance of the Lumix.  I am pretty sure it will be going to Jordan and Israel in September with the TX3.

Kansas and Oklahoma Road Trip

Labor Day weekend is a chance to travel farther than a six hour radius from home and see more of this great country.  We try to go to places where half of America is not visiting the same sites.  Therefore, Kansas and Oklahoma! The goal of this trip was to shoot Natural Falls in Siloam Springs, Oklahoma.  Never made it.  We spent a lot of time on Kansas. All the road tips to Indiana to see family, there is absolutely nothing to shoot in Kansas, well not off I-70 anyway.  It wasn't until we headed south to Wichita that we found some cool stuff. First stop was Monument Rocks in Gove County. Kansas.  Rock formation in the middle of farm land. Erich flew the drone around and we snapped a few photos - great start to the trip!! Camera: Fuji XT3 Wichita is really a nice city with a new-ish city center.  The Keeper of the Plains greets visitors on sacred Indian ground between the Little Arkansa and the Arkansa Rivers.  At night fla...

Grand Teton and Yellowstone - Wyoming!

The second road trip of the year we headed to northern Wyoming to visit the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.  We stayed in Colter Bay, a village in the Grand Tetons, renting a rustic cabin for 4 nights.  This was the home base for our adventures of exploration in the parks. We had a bit of weather the first two days, after all it is Wyoming and you always have to be prepared for anything.  It was quite cold, around the lower 40s in the day time , cloudy and rainy.  We bring our 'Wyoming Bag' on every road trip (gloves, beanies, and 32 degree jackets). This is not great weather for photography, but we pushed through. We brought the IR converted Lumix cameras just for fun. We did some cool stuff in infrared in the Badlands two weeks ago and wanted to keep the trend going.   Camera: FujiFilm XT5, Lumix LX 100, iPhone  Grand Tetons in Infrared  We started the trip in Cody, Wyoming over the weekend intending to avoid the weekenders in the parks.  We strol...

Badlands - Memorial Day Weekend

First road trip of the summer to the Badlands of South Dakota.  We packed up the truck and the Yeti and headed out on a beautiful day excited to get out and escape for a couple of days. Our lunch stop was in the small town of Edgemont, SD.  Cute little city park with a covered bridge, a Canadian Geese family, young boys fishing from the bridge and two large guns flanking the entrance to the park...interesting.  Camera: FujiFilm XT5, Lumix LX100 We had some weather on this trip once we got to Rapid City, which seems to be the norm anymore on our photo trips.  So, we made the best of it and decided t do some long exposure shots in the park and follow some really ominous clouds which resulted in a wicked hail storm.  After it was over it looked like it had snowed. Well, that is spring/summer in the mountains of the west. We were a bit discouraged since the sky just turned to gray, so we left the park and took the Sheep Table Mountain off road trail with a brief sto...
