Each time I visit the mass ascension at the Albuquerque balloon festival I am totally in awe. I only had the camera for one day and I was still learning to use it. The manual was in Japanese which didn't make things easy but I found the camera quite intuitive.

This girl stood in the shade of a truck and luckily her dark reflective glasses balanced the direct sunlight on the balloon perfectly. I used the large LCD on the rear of the camera to compose the scene. You can even see the camera in the bottom left corner of the glasses

Stop at this restaurant in Albuquerque if you want to experience some great diner food and atmosphere of the 50's. I shot this just before darkness. My experience told me that scenes like this always photograph better just a little bit later than you think is perfect.

This panoramic was produced by seaming together several Lumix digital images. For this (and virtually all the photos on this page) I set the camera light balance on "cloudy" to force just a slight bit of warmth into the image. I absolutely never use "auto color balance" with this or any digital camera. In this case, if I used "auto" it would have probably thought the scene was too red and would have added plus green in an attempt to correct.
