Yui

This was actually taken several days ago. In all, there are 180 pictures I took with my LX3 (only a third of them being displayed here). I even testing around with my flash gun but turned out that bokeh pictures weren’t that good with the flash. Perhaps I need more practices or there might be settings that I did not know.

LX3 is using RW2 format for it’s own RAW images that requires either 3rd party image editing software that supports it or it’s own plugins (which the installer doesn’t work on 64bit version of Windows 7 that I am currently using).

It is something like a blur image or out of focus, intentionally. People usually tried to focus on the object that they want while blurring the other parts which are not in the focus. So, I just playing around with the settings and I present you this gallery.
