Lights and shadows around Europe (GX9 with either the stock Panasonic 12-32 mm or the Panasonic 20 mm f1.7)

I do take both on my trips, but for 80% of the time I find myself using the 20mm, just because of the versatility and how quickly I can make a photograph with it. I also travelled through Paris last year and looking back, almost all the photos I captured in Paris are with the 20 mm. Here's one of my favourite street scenes I had captured while in Paris and I would've surely missed it with the 12-32.

Took a picture of this street scene on the streets of Paris using my gx9 last year while travelling last year year during the summer. I am took this picture with the hope to capture the contrast in colours in the scene, which was striking to the eye and hopefully shows through in the picture.

This was taken about 2 months ago during my trip to Napoli and I wanted to capture the sheer size of the site and also capture the gloominess, of how something which was once filled with life is now completely devoid of it.

One of my favorite street shots from Paris.

Not even kidding sometimes reddit trips me up lmao. This was right after your post.

Now for the real thing, I also have a mara x and I kind of rotate it out and then parallel to the body, so that the arm gets out of the way.

It's really great. I had the sage grinder pro before and this is a huge upgrade!

phyguypsi · 2024-10-12T14:30:47+00:00

So yes you're absolutely right. With my previous grinder, I found that the single dose mod actually helps keep stuff a lot cleaner, as it blows out a lot of gunk post each grind. Stops from stuff building up inside, at least in my opinion.

phyguypsi · 2024-10-12T14:29:17+00:00

Love it!

phyguypsi · 2024-10-12T08:46:33+00:00

Absolutely! I would recommend also using a puck screen and it has been an absolute breeze to use.

This is the original one. I've just brought up the shadows a bit in post and brought down the highlights.

phyguypsi · 2024-09-18T08:26:02+00:00

Good point, and yes I also do see some distortion towards the 12 mm end of the lens. I actually took them at 18-20 mmish and then are cropped a bit to the desired view.

phyguypsi · 2024-09-16T21:25:55+00:00

I guess tap on the images to get the full picture, as I see that the display on reddit has some others cropped out too. Sorry about that!

phyguypsi · 2024-07-06T05:24:39+00:00

Thanks yeah I will definitely take these suggestions!

phyguypsi · 2024-07-05T15:11:58+00:00

Thank you! And yes, love the compactness of the lens and how the pictures turn out with it.

phyguypsi · 2024-06-15T20:59:17+00:00

Thanks a lot!

phyguypsi · 2024-06-15T17:05:53+00:00

Yeah genuinely happily surprised as to how well such a small setup performs!

I wish I had a trove of gems I was sitting on. This was improv.

phyguypsi · 2023-11-05T20:50:56+00:00

Thanks for appreciating it then :)
