Panasonic Lumix GF-1


Bought a new camera in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago.
've been wanting to get a camera with more manual function for ages!!
Though still loving my Canon IXUS860 compact dc,
but I believe I am ready for a greater challenge!!

Please refer to this link for a comprehensive review of the camera!

I bought a red one, as you know already, I LOVE RED!!
The kit lense I chose is  Panasonic Lumix G 20mm F1.7 ASPH.
It's a fabulous lens!!!

've been trying to take pictures using different modes, but I am yet to master the skills...
Still having trouble with the coloring and light settings of the camera, sometimes it does not turn out the way I want it to be....heheehe...
Still learning, still learning~~~
So far, I've tried the "A", "S", "M", "SCN", and "My color" modes.
A = Aperture-priority AE mode
S = Shutter-priority AE mode
M = Manual exposure mode
SCN = Scene mode

The pictures above are taken using different camera settings,
(p.s.: all photos in this post have not been processed, so u can get a "natural" view of the shots)
The "My Color Mode" is by far my favourite mode hahahah
They have "Expressive", "Retro", "Pure", "Elegant", Monochrome", Dynamic Art", "Silhouette", and "Custom" settings.

I reckon I am better at taking pictures of solid, inanimate objects...
aren't good at taking pictures of people at all -_-....but I will definitely try again!!
(will probably post more photos up of human portraits in the future!)

I love my new camera!!!!!
