Shot of the Month : February 2009     Past Shots of the Month 2006 to 2010 2006 2007   2008   2009   2010

This beautiful photograph of a cafe in central Lisbon (Portugal) was taken on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera in 16:9 widescreen format. The Leica DC lens with a 28mm (35mm equivalent) wide angle zoom adds a sense of space and depth to the scene which would not be present in the standard 4 by 3 format. As shown in some earlier photographs, the colors of Lisbon truly are amazing and this effect has been enhanced slightly in Adobe Photoshop CS2 to give the picture added warmth.
