Pu3 and Her LX3

Bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX-3 from crazycamera.co.uk 3-4weeks ago and thought that I got scammed! Found all the bad reviews about that site after getting no luck from my items in 2 weeks.
I was devastated and heartbroken for a few days expecting 290pounds money loss and no camera at all.

But alas~ I got an email from crazycamera a week ago saying that they have dispatched my item, and received my camera set the next day! Imagine my relief! Syukur Alhamdullilah~..

Why I buy a new camera? Cause my Sony Cyber-shot have lost some of its function especially focusing (although its still good under bright light). I get disappointed with the photo outcome now. Some hotos in blog are taken with iphone ^^ sadly its hard to handle!

Now I got my LX3, I kept on getting demands from my friends and family to post up the photos took with my new camera ^_^ Sabar bebz. Note that I haven't learn much on the correct way to fully use my LX3.

Here are my 1st few photos taken.
Strawberry cake (i love!), my flatmates' stethoscope, Jeri's chocolate biscuit, my pink recycle bag bear and the tiny cactus I bought last 2 years (Dodi! Peter! Its still alive!)
Didn't know how to focus yet (used intelligent iso)

Then i saw this small 'focus' button~ lol

Off to university~
Welcome to the dull and gloomy Aberdeen.
Nah, this was taken in late afternoon with Pinhole Scene mode. The weather nowadays are quite good actually.Except for the borders, the scenery photos are not photoshopped just so you know.

Ugh, gloomy stuffs makes me sad. Go to the bright one 1st la, we'll go back later.

Emerging spring flowers in the botanic garden outside my Zoology building.
The wideness of a photo can be adjusted. Photo above is adjusted to 4:3 wide

and below is 16:9 wide

Snowdrop - always the 1st one to emerge at the beginning of the spring. ;)Enough flowers, lets go inside!

"Meow, meow"
Owh did I tell you that my department is also Aberdeen's Zoology Museum?

After class, I walked around campus.
Photo taken with Film Grain scene mode
Kings College - the landmark of Aberdeen University. It is an ancient university (the 5th oldest in UK) which was founded 1495. That's 515 years ago!
Some of my classes are held here as well.

New Kings, Taylor building and Elphinstone Hall

That's all for the campus tour.


Next photo shows how wide the photo capture is.
This is Pete's Kitchen by the way ;) Not mine.
And just last night, I finally discovered the use of manual focus!
..Focusing on Jeri's R2D2 phone strap i bought him for Christmas.
One last thing! Because of the quick shot and good stabiliser, I can finally capture my guinea pig easily! Yay!

Awwwwwwww~ look at him ;D struggling himself to escape.
The cutest yet most annoying creature on earth.
Maigawd~ Lumix LX3 is simply awesome! ^^
Lot of love!!

Yea totoro is THAT big! If only i could cuddle him a lot =_= He doesnt like to be carried. Boreng unfriendly handicapped guinea pig (i made that up coz g.pig supposed to be friendly!)

Yea i thought sony-cybershot have always been a good camera~ but i guess digital electronics just dont last long :(

Pu3: I used to be (and probably still am) quite interested in prehistoric animals, evolution, and the such. I did a presentation on prehistoric mammals about 9 years ago in college. The smilodon was one of the mammals in my presentation ;)
