I arrived around 5:30 AM this morning and there wasn't a soul to be seen out there! But later, others started showing up. I fished for about 2 hours and decided to leave. It was great just getting back outside after spending the whole winter indoors, even though I didn't catch anything. Really, I was more interested in seeing how well my Lumix DMC-LX5 camera would do taking photos out there!
These images were taken in RAW on Manual shooting mode and then processed in Adobe Lightroom 4.0. As expected the camera did well as long as no bright light source was aimed directly at the lens. When the sun finally came out, I tried shooting directly towards the lighthouse, but the lens flare was just too great to get any good photos. I find this to be the biggest drawback to this camera's lens. Other than that, the camera does a great job for such a small and compact camera!
I always shoot this camera in RAW format because the images come out so much better. I post process all my images in Lightroom anyway, so why not shoot it in RAW?
To see what I see when out there, check out the video... also taken with the Lumix DMC-LX5.
I look forward to getting back out again in the near future!
