I have a book which is a basic introduction to DSLR cameras. I purloined it in the hope I could have revealed to me some of the arcane aspects of manual photography. In the course of reading on such things as bracketing and other such wonders frequently qualified with the statement, "only in dslr cameras", the book, showing it's age as not from this year led me to look through the LX3 manual quite frequently. Wherein I discovered everything including multi-point autofocus.

So it dawned on me fully, in which was my reason for buying this camera, it is more a DSLR in a compact body than a compact with DSLR abilities. Maybe it doesn't have the same physical sensor size and no optical viewfinder (unless I buy one), but! f/2.0! Depth of field anyone?

Which is a simple-ish thing I am just beginning to grasp requiring the A in PASM. Here I get to set the aperture value, bigger is better. Hence f/2.0. Closer is good and bigger focal length also, though this hits the LX3's one limit, only 60mm.

Anyway, depth of field is how in or out of focus everything is in front of and behind the one thing that is the centre of attention. By doing the above, it becomes very narrow, so lots of background blur… mmm… pretty. And then I remembered my beauty has a focus setting on the lens barrel, so I set it to AF-Macro.

I preferred the other photo I look of the pen, of the pen itself I mean, this one looks a bit foreshortened, but this one also has a far more - for me - interesting background. f/2.3, focal length 7.4 or 35mm, 1/50sec, ISO 160. Less washed out in the original (will start shooting raw soon), but that would be the fault of Photoshop's 'save to web' adventure.

Gabrielle is performing her new work in Melbourne in a couple of weeks. For those of you in the antipodes… well, I have no idea what she is doing in this piece, but Gab is one person whom I'd always want to see what has emerged.

I left my shoes on warm concrete and stood in the rain

Dancehouse’s Housemate Residency Program presents the extraordinary new work of Gabrielle Nankivell.

I left my shoes on warm concrete and stood in the rain is a performance that examines struggle as an inherent quality of being human. The audience is invited to experience intense physicality and haunting words framed by Benjamin’s Cisterne’s (Bluebottle) design and a striking soundtrack by Luke Smiles / motion laboratories.

Harnessing the imagination as a physical force, I left my shoes on warm concrete and stood in the rain is a visual poem for anyone who has taken the enchanting qualities of their broken world and built a fairytale as inspiration to survive.

Text, Physical Content & Performance - Gabrielle Nankivell
Original Soundtrack - Luke Smiles / motion laboratories
Design - Bluebottle Benjamin Cisterne
50 minutes no interval.

July 8-11 @ 8pm, July 12 @ 5pm

Playing with scene modes and discovering the Black & White is rather pretty. Also in iAuto it selects scenes ok but… I shall end up sticking with P. P for Program and Photoshop and… so on.

I am reading a history of Berlin, sometimes Fontane, places ending in "-ow", Wends and others who… are vanished in the sense of made to disappear, rather than not here. I am reminded of Guangzhou and discovering 水上人家…

Of course of the Brauerei.

For my own pleasure, 1/499 exposure, f/3.5, ISO 80. Shot in Auto mode. The lens is sublime and mmm… yes, this is the view my poor cameraphone could never quite manage.

I haven't had time to play with my LX3 yet, though I have downloaded the manual and reading it makes me tremble. Oh new things to play with. I'm not even sure where to begin, wanting to throw myself into the full manual abyss but having so much else to understand. Excitement!

(Oh and i made a new category called images. About time.)

Returning to near home, finding the book for me had arrived at St Georges, a monster to beat anthropologists with. Home barely in time for the storm. I am thinking of a new camera. It is somewhat expensive but has full manual functions and many other proper camera things. Tomorrow though is more of the same and then perhaps perhaps I shall depart…

…return.
