More with the Panasonic G1

Some more pictures with the Panasonic G1.

It was Christmas and by the time I landed home from office (it was a working day here in the KSA), the sun was setting with a lovely glow.

We had already planned to go out for dinner to a small but famous restaurant called "Baasha", famous for its pizzas.

Panasonic G1 - first few shots

The Panasonic G1 with the 14-45 mm arrived a couple of days ago.. delayed by a brief detour to Kuwait and the Christmas shipping delays. Anyway, it arrived just before Christmas as Amazon.com promised.

The first few shots . . .

Breaking the rules! No rule of thirds..


Rule of thirds!
Looks less dramatic than the earlier shot.
