Went up to Lake Geneva to walk along the lake. The weather was unseasonably warm and it was gorgeous out. On the way back the sun was starting to set and reflecting off white piers (the cranes and barges were busy taking some down for the winter that day). It created this brilliant, reflective quality that combined with the calm lake surface had this rippling mirror effect.

The HX100 needs all the help it can get; light seems to play a more important factor than usual with it. Sometimes.

I truly have a love-hate relationship with this camera. Sometimes it blows my socks off, and other times its on-board processing is beyond bad. It's the inconsistency that just drives me batty, and the fact that it's completely out of my hands what it will do sometimes. It's amazingly fun to shoot with, though, I'll give it that. This shot turned out pretty good; it's not a great one, but all things considered it's on the high end of middling (or the low end of fantastic ;), and definitely far above its worst output. Just a little sharpening and auto contrast performed in post processing.
