All your photos are really good, but my favorite is the last one -- two glasses of wine. I have a photo of a glass of wine -- not close to the IQ of yours -- I had no way of stabilizing the camera and shot mine at ISO 1600 whereas you shot yours at ISO -- big difference with the LX7. You shot yours at a very slow shutter speed and I didn't. I will not try a slower shutter speed rather than a higher ISO in the future. The wine was good.

Dez,
I always try to keep my ISO low, but in the situation where I took the photo of the wine glass, I opted to use ISO 1600 and keep the shutter speed high. After I saw your photo, I handheld a shot at 1/10 sec at ISO 80 and I was very surprised at how well the camera's stabilization worked and the photo was sharp. I now know what I will do in the future. I learned a valuable lesson from your photo.
The wine was better than my photo.

Thanks. I placed the LX7 on the counter and put it on 2-second timer at base ISO 80.

You just have to look around a little to find them.
Do you recall whether you used the ND filter for the train shots?

Huh? I own two tripods. One standard sized carbon fiber and a mini tripod when I'm carrying light.
No ND filter on the indoor train. The outdoor train 'could have been' with the ND. Low ISO 80 & 2-second timer
Since getting the LX7 I've been shooting like crazy because it's fun. I am also hard pressed to see that big of a difference IQ wise than my DSLR. Yet I still keep getting the small voice saying this really isn't the sophisticated kind of photography you should aspire to. Shoot in manual. Know what settings will work best. Get the tripod. Weight it down. Lock the mirror. Pay thousands for a 2.8 lens. Well here I am with a 1.4. Is this not a legitimate--as they say on the island--piece of kit? What if I ditch the DSLR and wandered through life with this tiny wonder in my pocket?

You would do OK if you didn't need high ISO performance or require a rig for professional gigs. The LX7 hold its own as an all-around everyday performer.

In-camera image stabilization on today's cameras are effective. I always leave it on.

What I meant to say was that you evidently used environmental objects (ledge, shelf, wall, etc.) to steady your camera for those longish exposures, playing the role of a tripod. Or that's what I thought. Maybe you used an actual tripod. But I meant to compliment your ingenuity, not to denigrate what you did. Sorry!

Nice shots, Dez. Looks like you had a nice outing with the camera. The first and last shot are my favorites of this set.
Take care,
Daniel

Wonderful shots Dez!! The second is stunning. Love the blur of the train and the clarity of the rest of the photo. The wine.... Well, I think that speaks for itself! ;~)
