pics from my feb 2012 solo trip

Great pics and thanks for sharing. I like the no flash photos as well. Only way to do a night landscape.

They do look great, I brought a Panasonic Lumix dmc-ts3 last July for our trip to Play del Carmen. Haven't figured out how to take good night time pics, the rest of the pics were fab, even the underwater snorkelling pics!!

Any help appreciated!!

I shot a Panasonic lx-5. Part of the reason this camera performs so well is it has a full size 1.1 in sensor chip just like the slrs use giving it amazing image capturing, but the real reason it works so well at night is it has a Leica f2.0 lens at 24mm-50mm only a 2.8 at full zoom of 90mm. With a huge chip and huge lens opening, a dummy can do this

Just saying there isn't a trick, it was a good camera.. Panasonic cameras very GREATLY by age and line.. If night shots are what you desire, I would recommend a dslr, or one of two Pocket sized cameras. Panasonic lx-5 like mine, or the canon s95, which is a little smaller and does a great job as well. Even the Nikon 1 series supposed slr replacement doesn't have lens openings like these two mentioned..

I guess I will note if u have allot of money and like red dot cameras. (if you know what that means you probably do have allot of money) Leica offers the lx-5 with their moniker too called the Leica d-lux 5.. Essentially a lx-5 for 300$ more. But it does come with a adobe image editor, so possibly worth it if you need that
