Since my arthritis and other issues have recently worsened, I’ve decided to give up on my heavy digital SLR, at least for now. Last week I picked up a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, a display model from Kenmore Camera. While it is a light-weight, compact camera, it is exceedingly customizable and has full manual menus.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting experimental photos from my camera as I learn its ins and outs.

Perhaps not artifact. There’s a solar phenomena known as ‘Green Flash’ which happens just as sun drops under horizon. It’s wicked rare, as I understand it — meteorological conditions have to be Just Right. That looks like just about the right color of green. If so, your timing was totally awesome.
