More fun with the manual only features of the Lumix.

Got a chance to go inland a ways last Mother’s Day and to play with the manual focus mode on the Lumix. The Lumix doesn’t have a viewfinder. You can buy one separately. Without it you rely on the screen on the back of the camera body. The Lumix is great, the lenses are great, but I’m not certain how much I like that.

We’ve used a version of this picture before (sorry!) but we were cooking tacos last night and listening to Wilco’s excellent “Summerteeth” record, which is Beth’s favorite, and I felt a little tug from the Midwest.

Here are links to two great songs from the record. Enjoy.
