Color excites me… A smorgasbord with a new palette of color awaits me this next two weeks as I am playing in Sarasota, Florida. Such a change from the orange/red and ochre tones of the desert southwest. It’s a riot and what I’ll be concentrating on while shooting while I’m here… and of course I’ll be playing with the panorama views I can create with the Lumix GX7.

Why do I set expectations for what I am looking for during the trip? I’ve found that if you concentrate on one or two things as targets the quality of images captured goes up. Are panoramas and color the only things I will shoot? Heck no! But When a focus is defined when you go out to capture images there is a tendency to see more. Not quite sure why this works… But it does.

not to mention she has an uncanny resemblance to one of my neighbors!

I really enjoy the portability of the GX7 for street shooting. I’ll be heading to the Farmers Market later today. Can’t wait!
