My first photos (taken as JPEG only) with the new Leica D-Lux (typ 109) - these were taken in a gloomy rainy environment, approximately 20 minutes before sunset, albeit the clouds were so thick that it wasn't possible to see where the Sun actually was. The tree resolved well given the flat lighting, but the landscape foliage didn't fare so well. The pier in the landscape shows great detail given its distance across the water, since it normally looks very "wavy" due to temperature differences between the air and water. What I see in the foreground foliage isn't so much out of focus even though the aperture is f2.8 - the 4/3 sensor just struggles in very bad light with extremely complex subjects like foliage. Leica D-Lux(109), f2.8, 1/30 handheld, ISO 200. Leica D-Lux(109), f2.8, 1/80 handheld, ISO 200.

That Leica seems a nice camera. Very sharp results mid frame; I'd love to see an image taken at, say, f8 and tripod mounted. Wish I could afford a premium brand camera like Leica.

I'll hopefully get some at f8, when the sun comes out. That's not anytime soon - just horrible weather today. BTW, the Panasonic version is the same (LX-100), but it costs $900 USD here, which seems to me quite inflated.

just horrible weather today. That's us today! Torrential rain, huge thunder storms, masses of hail and tornado spotted off the Malaga coastline! Lots of local flooding including us, the restaurant was under a foot of water, making the flooding at our point approx. 3 feet deep from street level. More on the way!

It's interesting about the flooding. Apparently in Charleston SC the frequency of flooding downtown has more than quadrupled in the last 60 years, presumably due to just a small rise in sea level. I looked up Malaga from a couple of sites, and it's obvious at a glance that with all the investment there, they have an incentive to build flood barriers. It could be that 50 years from now, most of us coastal people will be living behind levees, like Holland. But Holland builds levees to last 1000 years, while we in the US build for no more than 100 years (i.e. New Orleans). Anyway, we had some sun last evening and today, although temperatures were below normal. Erratic weather is the new norm.

Here in Shropshire, UK, no flooding or anything bad. It's just been so dull over all. A few sunny interludes but mostly SO cloudy. Camera gear is firmly zipped in bag.
