An uncommon viewpoint!
Have you found benefits to RAW (vs. jpeg)?
Posted by JH at January 11, 2009 04:25 AMthis is the best point & shoot available today....too bad aperture do not support its raw format
Posted by hangon at January 11, 2009 07:04 AMwow - what a result from a p&s...great low angle, love the textures and the tones as well.
Posted by bm at January 11, 2009 08:27 AMIs it just me, or have you taken a picture like this before, except with a ticket on the floor?
Posted by Sam at January 11, 2009 09:57 AMgreat shot. the essence of the toronto commuter...
Posted by susanne at January 11, 2009 02:23 PMwow that is interesting to know about the Lx3/Raw/24mm.
smart thinking when looking for a p&S!!
Posted by scott webb at January 11, 2009 03:07 PMjep the lx3 is a _very nice_ thing.
capable but bit pricey :/
You seem to be able to get a good picture out of almost anything, which is one of the things I admire from you. The other thing I admire is that you have posted a picture every day since august 2004. I have had my photoblog up for a month, and posting every day is a tough task.
Keep up the good work, I enjoy it a lot! A.
Posted by Abel at January 11, 2009 07:04 PMFantastic shot... a comment also... Canon point and shoot cameras are not advertised as being able to shoot in raw mode, but without even hacking the firmware, you can drag and drop a program CHDK onto the memory card and get TONS more options, including shooting in RAW and scripting up to 10 exposure shots with the built in software. Even more is possible with some tinkering.
Posted by Brian at January 11, 2009 09:06 PMVery interesting picture. The PoV is very unique and grabs your attn immediately. Still, I imagine you hated keeping your camera on the floor of the bus... even for a second! Hehe
Posted by jarhead1857 at January 11, 2009 10:22 PMHey Sam! Although I'm a big fan, I am forced to leave my first negative comment. This picture does nothing for me. I'm not sure what your subject is! If it's a grimy street-car floor, I guess you've succeeded in capturing it well. If your subject is the man at the end he's out of focus and against the light. I don't know I simply don't like this picture at all. Better get back to your fancy 5D! :)
Posted by Kiana at January 12, 2009 03:07 PMI like it. And another one saying yes to the LX3 :)
Posted by alex at January 13, 2009 03:58 AMGreat view and angle. Nice idea.
Posted by Polydactyle at January 13, 2009 07:31 PMSam, it's not just you.

Looks like the same bus. Little different angle though.
Posted by Noob at January 13, 2009 07:36 PMVery cool shot. Lovely detail, and clever shot.
