1) got meself a lumix LX2 which i love dearly 2) went to paris at the weekend, so sorry if i start flooding with deviations, but some are my very first proper portraits - hey, i was with a divine creature with the rough dimensions of a model, so i wasn't going to waste an opportunity, was i?
anyway, i think i'll write about paris soon, but for now i'm a bit too close to it all, so i'll just say HI to you all and i'll speak soon...
i'm well excited - it's got 60 second exposure which i didn't know, so i got myself a mini maglite and a willing subject for a model... so you can fit the pieces together as to what i'll be doing soon!!

As it happens I wrote a blog post a while back about lightpainting with a small camera - but didn't ever get around to shooting some examples and posting it. Must get that finished.
oooh you simply *must* do the small cam tutorial! i've read through that other tut a few times now, very good - very helpful! it's something i keep coming back to, being a bit of a scan-reader
i won't overwhelm you with drivelshots of my learning curve, but i thought as it's somthing i've wanted to do for ages, and you've been the main inspiration, you should see the very first photies!! [link] *beams nervously*

Those are from the LX2? That's remarkable, I really must have more of a play with that little camera.
You appear to be having no problems with the exposure - they've worked really well. One thing you might like to try playing with is the colour balance setting. If you have it on auto, try setting it to one of the fixed settings - life is more consistent with a fixed colour balance, and you can always alter it later when you process the image.

Keep shooting. I'm keen to see how you get on.
