Photo of the Day (10/30/08)

I was rather excited to see this in our Flickr Gadling group as a Photo of the Day entry. The mud flats reminds me of the summer days in Anchorage, Alaska when we'd head out "mud-sliding." At the end of the day we were completely covered in mud. Ahh, good times.

This is also one of the first entries we've received taken with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The LX3 is a pocket camera that's getting the attention of some professional photographers. Rather than chasing megapixles, Panasonic has chosen to concentrate on the lens and chip size. So the low light capabilities with the f2.0 wide angle (24mm) lens stands out from the typical consumer digital camera.

Even so, it's not easy to capture such a spectacular shot as this one by Botond Szabo of the beaches in Wales. He really pulled the most out of his camera, shooting this picture with a 60 second exposure. I've already set the full size version as my wallpaper.

Way to go, Botond!
