The other night, I used my Lumix LX7 to expose these views of SEPTA\u2019s route 15 trolley on Girard Avenue in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Working in \u2018A\u2019 mode (which allows me to select the aperture while the camera picks the shutter speed) I dialed in a 1\/3 stop over exposure to allow for a more pleasing overall exposure to compensate for the dark sky and bright highlights.<\/p>\n

\"Exposed
Exposed in ‘A’ mode which produces both an in-camera Jpeg and a RAW file. This view was adjusted in post processing from the camera RAW file.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Compare
Compare this adjusted RAW file with the image below exposed using the ‘hand held night’ mode. (explained below).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also made a couple of exposures using the Lumix\u2019s built in \u2018hand held night\u2019 (one of the scene mode pre-selects, available by setting the top dial to SCN , pressing the menu button and scrolling through the options).<\/p>\n

\"This
This is a composite image made in-camera by exposing with the Lumix’s ‘Hand Held Night’ mode.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The hand-held night mode was recommended to me by Denis McCabe. This makes a blended composite image from a half-dozen or so exposures automatically exposed in a relatively rapid sequence. It\u2019s not perfect, but allows for decent images of relatively static scenes if you hold the camera steady.<\/p>\n
