Last of Tom's landscapes...

I'm not sure if these strictly count - let's call them urban landscapes...both wide and vaguely scenic anyway.

(and because I'm boring myself when it comes to the LX5, just assume if I post any photos from it, they were from a situation when there's no way I would have had the D300 with me, therefore I'm feeling smug I've not lost a lovely shot I would have done usually...in this case a routine walk down to the shop for milk)



f2.8, 1/400, ISO 80, 50mm



f3.2, 1/400, ISO 80, 24mm

Landscape- 2nd batch

An ideal counterpoint to Toby's sundrenched landscapes - I give you the west coast of Scotland, in one of those rare moments when it wasn't chucking it down with rain during our week up there. These are both from a little fishing town called Kirkcudbright, now an "artists' town" according to the signs on exit and entry. Horrible grey, overcast and flat-light day - all you can do is turn to a bit of black and white and curves/contrast turned to 11.



Above is my favourite of the two.

LX5 again. f8, 1/100, ISO 80, 24mm



Liked this as well, but slightly soft (taken at long end of the Panasonic's lens range might be to blame).

LX5. f3.3, 1/400, ISO 80, 90mm

And I can't work out why my photos are uploading so small - I'm selecting "large" in the options...

Landscape - first attempt and also-rans

First try, been meaning to try to get a shot here for years but it's on one of our regular cycle routes, so never managed to stop for the shot. We walked the route this time (all 12 bloody miles of it). Very thankful I had the LX5 rather than the D300!



f2.6, 1/15s (-.3 EV), ISO 80, 47mm

Same place, more or less same shot - preferred the first though:



f3.5, 1/400s (-.3 EV), ISO 80, 26mm

Another LX5 shot - proving its worth as this was staggering back from a drinks do in Borough during GBBF week, never would have had the Nikon with me in these circumstances, but did have the Panasonic and gorillapod in my pocket:



f8, 8s, ISO 80, 24mm

And again, just trying out the long-exposure/low light capabilities of the LX5 - pretty impressed (this is through a hotel room window, which I think has made the blooming/starbursts a bit worse):



f4.5, 60s, ISO 80, 24mm
