Can I get a hot dog water on the rocks?

The LX-5 came through with some nice shots under conditions that called for more glass.

Well done.. agree with Peg, for this kind of photography is LX5 needing extra 'muscles'

.. nevertheless the fourth and fifth - with some cropping, could be a keepers.. my favorite is #2, LOL ..

Thanks for sharing,

And this is where we all find that 90mm is not much of a telephoto!

It look like the shutter needs a walker to get to space

I always try to convince myself that I can always "zoom with my feet". In fact you should zoom with your feet. But every once and a while you really need more glass. Today was one of those days. The LX-5 is a great camera, but you might consider adding a ZS15 or 20 to your kit.

Why would you not like 2?

I find this very interesting, especially as in today's BBC news, 19th April, there is an article and excellent video by a pilot who flew it.

lol - because of that damn shuttle in the background?

You learn something new every time you press the shutter

Lucky you!! #4 and #5 are really great shots. I've worked for NASA for over 25 years and not had the opportunity see the shuttle fly (saw a landing once).

....is the shot of that lovely looking woman because it leaves much to the imagination. The shuttle shots? Bad....but only because you cannot really see much of anything. Time for a bridge camera?

Def looking into a new camera to do what this guy can't. Might get a gh1/13 one day. I love those video capabilities.

Really did feel lucky to be able to witness this. Especially from my own home.

I'll wager these are better than the one you have.
No surprises regarding the reach of the lens.
Those that have it know exactly what it excels at and what it doesn't.
Still , they aren't bad for a limited reach.
