When I posted this, I hadn't updated Photoshop to read DL5 RAW files--this is one of the non-processed JPEGs samples from the D-Lux 5.
Straight out of camera, 100% UN-processed JPEGs were quite good if not excellent.
I've posted several JPEGs shot in various daylights/night/indoor--Harvard pics were shot around noon; Christian Science Park around 10am; The "Field" bar shots between 330pm and 6:00pm. Prudential area between 4 and 6pm; picture of the red flash light around 8:00pm inside the house with lights turned off.
So here are my thoughts on DL5, based on having used the DL4:
1. I love the colors. They are saturated but not overly unrealistic. Colors feel very "Leica." DL4's colors were good never wowed me.
2. DL5 focus is lightning fast and accurate. I took some shots while walking down to Harvard--snapped pictures without stopping and most of my shots came out fine. The focus, I feel is faster than the DL4.
3. DL5 is sharp at 24mm all the way to 90mm! DL5 is sharper than DL4 and have better details and better colors (color preference is subjective, of course. I just like DL5's saturated colors. Besides, it's easier to tone down the saturation than to add more, since adding saturation, to me, seems a little unnatural in the results).
4. ISO! I have never used a small digital compact that look as good in 1600ISO as the DL5. Most of the shots from the VERY low-lit bar were shot with 1600ISO. Some were shot with Shutter priority to get some motion blur.
5. Macro mode is amazing--1cm focusing distance, just like the Ricoh GRD3.
Of course, DL5 still suffers from typical small sensor issue--lack of a broad dynamic range--leading to blown out highlights and detail-less shadows. But, such issues are easily fixed in LR or PS. With such great JPEGs results, I won't have to feel so eager waiting for RAW support in LR.
Oh, one thing I dislike about DL5 is there is no grip. When I sold my DL4, I gave away the grip. I think I'll have to get another one. Grip, to me, is essential when I shoot on the street. It gives me better stability and quicker framing (because I can move my hand much faster without the camera slipping off or have to worry about dropping the camera--yes I am using a wrist strap. Neck strap is too restricting and draws too much attention (as a tourist, even if you're not).
Just my 2-cents.
This one is using some tricks and optimisations found by a new friend of mine who is really really good at realtime graphics....
so a big big thanks to Inigo Iquilez (iq / rgba) for this!
The main optimisation is about the creation of the boxes in opengl... with all the tricks together the frame rate change from 15fps for 1800 cubes to 35 fps for 4500 cubes! (and that on my old crappy computer)
I'll post something on my website as soon as possible for all the boxes junkies that lives around here.

Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.

All visuals were run as Processing-exported OSX applications controlled live with an M-Audio Trigger Finger. Someone buy me a Lemur so I can do this properly.

Particles additively blend to the current frame as they move around under the influence of a vector force field calculated using Perlin noise.
Just scanned and edited this Ambrotype plate.
The ambrotype process is a photographic process that creates a positive photographic image on a sheet of glass using the wet plate collodion process. It was invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the early 1850s.
enjoy :]
Playing around with particles moving according to various rules, like accelerating toward a certain particle unless some distance condition is satisfied in which case they accelerate toward something else.

I believe this cyanotype may be a portrait of Mrs. Kühn from the "Sunlight and Darkroom" Album.
Since the title page was in German we naturally believed that the album was made in Germany. I did notice that one view was a site that is very familiar, the monument on the top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. Closer examination showed that hotels pictured were also in Edinburgh and a cemetery had English inscriptions. Did Wilhelm Kühn take a trip to Scotland? I could find no information about Kühn and assumed I would never know. Several years passed before I tried again. After checking dozens of Google entries for other Wilhelm Kühns I finally found him on a Scottish genealogy site! Someone from Germany wrote looking for information on relatives who had lived in Scotland. The answer was as follows:
1901 Census Scotland
Wilhelm Kühn 44, Shopkeeper Picture Frame Maker Printseller & Artist's Colourman, b. German Sreb, Germany
Susanne Kühn 41, b. German Sreb, Germany
Bertha Kühn 8, b. Edinburgh
Luise Kühn 5, b. Edinburgh
Lizzie Campbell 15, servant
Address: The Linden Craigcrook Rd, Crammond, Midlothian
This has to be our Wilhelm Kühn! The new baby in the photographs must be Bertha who would have been born in 1893 when the album was produced. Wilhelm profession seems to fit really well with the artist/photographer who produced this album.
I love to put a name to the mother and baby!
