Capturing Ohohoy! Moments: Street Photography and the Lumix LX-3
I brought my LX-3 with me to the streets of Hong Kong in a recent visit to the country. Unlike taking street photos in the Philippines, Hong Kong is much more photographer friendly. People won’t stare at me when I aim my camera, there’s lots of tourists with big heavy DSLR’s around, wearing a jacket is normal and I can easily conceal my LX-3 in one of my pockets and most importantly, I feel safe that I won’t get mugged while taking pictures. Here are some of the photos I took…
i forgot to take my hepatitis vaccine shot before going there.
nice nails...
She came prepared.
There's just too many interesting people around.
Beware of the Death Stare. You're not a street photographer until you receive one.
Tired in Disneyland
night shot. no flash. no problem with the LX-3
Nice gear. Where's the studio?
Note: minimal post processing if none at all was used in these photos. Unlike Mr. B, I’m not inclined to enroll in a photography class where photoshop is integral in the end product. Film is not dead!

Old film artists seldom made prints without any post processing. Programs like Photoshop are as integral for digital photographers as the wet darkroom was for film photographers.
Seeing that you like taking digital B&W with your LX3, I hope you know that your “end product” was ALSO post-processed in-camera. But I will leave you be if you trust your LX3’s processing capability more than your own.
Nice shots, by the way. =)
