It was cascading rain when I made this grab shot of a Comboios de Portugal suburban train arriving at the station in Coimbroes in suburban Porto on 4-4-2014.
Exposed with a Panasonic Lumix LX3 at ISO 200 f2.8 at 1/200th of a second.

I wish I’d done more of this sort of thing.
This is a good exercise in seeing, and a great way to preserve the effects of change (or not, as the case may be).
Below are two views of Irish Rail’s tracks as seen from atop the Phoenix Park Tunnel off the Conyngham Road in Dublin. These images were exposed exactly one year apart.
In both situations, I was walking back to my old apartment at Islandbridge in Dublin and made a photo of the tracks with a Lumix.
The March 1st, 2014 view was made with an LX3 and exposed as a RAW File; the March 1st, 2015 photo was a JPG made with a Lumix LX7.
The vantage point was nearly identical, although the focal length and framing was slightly different.

November 13, 2009, I was experimenting with my then new Lumix LX3 digital camera.
Standing at ‘The Box’ at Islandbridge Junction, I exposed this sequence in RAW format using the 16×9 aspect ratio of passing Irish Rail trains.
Locomotive 175 worked a wagon transfer from Inchicore towing a pair of the 2001-built Talgo container pocket wagons (CPWs).
It was one of only a scant few photos that I made digitally of an Irish Rail Bo-Bo at work. Most had finsihed by the time, yet old 175 survived.

On this day in 2013, I traveled on the Dublin Bus 748 Airlink from Dublin Airport to Heuston Station. I rode the upper deck of the double decked bus.
This view on board was the product of my old Panasonic Lumix LX3 digital camera.
I carried this small camera with me everywhere to document my travels until it finally failed in Spring 2014, when I replaced it with a Lumix LX7.

On this day (April 6th) 2014 I exposed a sequence of digital images of the Lisbon Metro (no, not Lisbon, New Hampshire) using my Lumix LX3.
Although I was soon to replace my trusty Panasonic Lumix LX3 with the more advanced and flexible LX7 model, I feel that in many ways the end-picture quality of the LX3 was preferable over the that from the LX7.
Recently, through the kindness of Tracking the Light reader Wm Keay, I now have in my possession my third LX7, which makes it my forth Lumix digital camera.
I’m looking forward to the next round of photos from the ‘wee Lumix’—long may it serve me!
