Small is beautiful: LX5 beats Canon 5D and Nikon 3DS

Fred K · Jul 10, 2012

Happy to announce that an LX5 picture has just won the Sizzling Summer competition, pushing a Canon 5D and a Nikon 3DS into 2nd and 3rd places. Small is beautiful.

Congratulations, Fred. Outstanding image! This proves who is behind the camera and not the equipment - well deserved top honors.

Just shows that the LX5 is good but in the right hands, it's gooder, or in your case, goodest

Well done...

Nice job. I do enjoy B&W but I think the color version should be as good. Oh, by the way, what are those white stuff visible in front of the boy? Water?

Fred K · Jul 11, 2012

Rick880 - the "white stuff" is drops of water. Sadly, there is no colour version - I took it as an in-camera B+W jpg (no RAW).

It proves one more time that the man behind the viewfinder (or looking at LCD) is the key for good photos, not the cameras. (Not that LX-5 is bad.

) B+W is actually the best format for scenes like this. Wish I have that kind of pre-visualization ability like you have. (And to be truthful, I have none.)

Well done, Fred! Love this image, holds my interest where the other pics don't, however technically great they may be.

You're too modest- I've looked at the photos in your gallery and they are excellent. Have you tried Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro for B+W conversions? It's great.

Best wishes.
