As an update, i am working thru silkypix to process the LX3 raw files; somethings can be done in this program, but others need some photshop'in.
While I clean up some shots where i used the polarizer i described, here is a cool early evening shot that for some reason had these incredible colors in the sky - with a bright moon in the middle ... My wife is rocking away in the hammock for the time of the exposure. And yes, it was as relaxing as it looks!
