Peony Flower Close-up (D-Lux 3) by Byron Balogh Via Flickr: Here’s a close-up of a peony in our backyard at full bloom taken with my 10MP Leica D-Lux 3. This tiny 19-year-old digital compact camera takes dream-like (almost film-like) images so naturally. Shot in raw format, some sensor noise was cleaned up in Lightroom 15. | Leica D-Lux 3 | DC VARIO-ELMARIT 6.3-25.2mm f2.8-4.9 ASPH | ISO 100 | Exposure Compensation -0.66 | No Filter | Aperture Priority | Auto White Balance | Available Light | Handheld | Photo ©2026 A.

Vintage Rust Relic (D-Lux 3) by Byron Balogh Via Flickr: Sharpness test shot with my (new to me) 2007 Leica D-Lux 3. Raw image denoised trying Adobe’s AI Generative Denoise function in Lightroom Classic 15.3.1. The denoising did work, but didn't significantly improve the image. The lower resolution JPG straight out of camera is almost as good! | Leica D-Lux 3 | DC VARIO-ELMARIT 6.3-25.2mm f2.8-4.9 ASPH @ 25.5mm | f/4.9 | 1/50s | ISO 100 | Exposure Compensation -0.66 | No Filter | Aperture Priority | Auto White Balance | Available Light | Handheld | Photo ©2026 A.

Oregon Sunset 1 (2008) by a. byron balogh Via Flickr: Photo ©2008 A. Byron Balogh (Image updated in Lightroom in 2026) Standing in a wheat field in Kinton, Oregon, June 25, 2008. Sadly, this wheat field which stood here for decades at the corner of Scholls Ferry Road and Beef Bend Road was replaced in 2020 with a brand new complex of multistory multifamily apartments. I shot this back in 2008 with my Nikon D80 and my favorite manual focus Nikkor AI 20mm f/4 lens. Image exposure adjusted and cropped in Lightroom. As of this writing (March, 7 202) this image has been viewed only 91 times since 2008. | Nikon D80 | Nikkor 20mm f/4 AI | f/8 | 1/15s | Manual ISO 100 | Available Light | Tripod || Nikon L37c Filter | DSC_1707 | KEYWORDS & TAGS: 2008, AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED, Beaverton, CCD Colors, CCD Magic, CCD Sensor, Clouds, f8, Fire in the Sky, Jet Trails, Kinton, Nikon D80, Oregon, Sky, Summer Solstice, sunset, Tripod, Wheat, Wheatfield

I'm rebooting attention to my original Flickr account which I never closed. I took these product photos of the Yashica Electro 35 back in 2008 in my 'homemade studio'. I hope you enjoy!https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCLFti
