Great Falls Action Shot

Shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 with a Lumix G 20mm/F1.7 ASPH lens set at f/2.2, 1/4000s, and ISO 160.

Recently, we got a Panasonic GX1 camera.  With all the manual controls and options, we are hoping to learn more about photography and take clearer, better exposed pictures.  Mike spent an afternoon at Great Falls getting a handle on the new camera's features.  Hiking around the falls, Mike took a wide variety of photos, from macro shots of the rocks to landscape views of the rapids.  The crispness of this close-up water shot was possible because the lens' wide aperture allowed Mike to use a fast shutter speed.
