Soy Sauce Container

Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 14-45mm

I don't do many still life shots. I'm still getting to know my G5, so I'm more likely to try different things just to see how the camera reacts/performs. This was taken with the G5 and 14-45mm kit lens @45mm, at 1/20 sec., f5.6, ISO 1600, RAW. The earlier shots that I posted were taken as .JPG because I did not have time to install Lightroom 4.3 which has the RAW converter for the G5.

This one was taken as RAW (as will all my shots from the G5 from now on), processed via my just installed Lightroom 4.3. We were having lunch at a Japanese Restaurant the other day, and I shot this while waiting for our meals to be served.

I am happy with the low-light, high ISO performance of the G5. The 14-45mm, as usual, was superb with it's OIS (optical image stabilization), letting me hand hold a shot at 1/20.

Morning Shadows

Early morning, bright light, mini-blinds, nice vase, spiky plant.

A good recipe for a nice image. Worth getting up off the living room sofa and retrieving my camera for.

I especially like the sort of Z-shape the shadows make on the wall behind the vase.

Vase of Flowers and Reflection

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8

All three of us saw this (Dan, Dolph, and I), and of course all three of us took pictures of it. As you saw in Dan's previous post, he included more of the reflections. I saw the lines surrounding the subject, so I composed for the lines and angles around it, while still showing the reflection of the vase. I would love to see Dolph's take also...

Paging Dolph, please post... (no pressure :))
