On a recent getaway to the hill country we went to Enchanted Rock and I got to shoot with my husband's recently purchased Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1. He got this camera for shooting at the job site, as well as for shooting pleasure (he is an architect). This tiny camera will also take his Contax G1 rangefinder lens's with an adapter, and with it's manuel settings, has lots of control. It has a pretty large sensor for being such a small camera, is 16mp and able to shoot in RAW mode. Add all of this up, and it's a great camera. I mostly shoot with the zoom it came with.
When we visited it had been raining a lot and the everything was alive. We hiked the giant pink granite rock right before a huge rain cloud rolled through. I was having so much fun shooting the intense dark sky and the incoming rain that my husband had to run over and tell me that I should probably put the gear under my rain jacket because we had about a minute before being dumped on.
These are my snap shots from the day. I found the iPad guy very amusing. I was trying to be very casual about taking pictures of him, but I think I scared him off in the end.
