My Panny and the Painted Ladies (©) Photo Gallery by Paolo Peggi (aka Bracciodiferro) at pbase.com

My Panny and the Painted Ladies (©)

The new Bacciodiferro's adventures.Soon on this pages... YAY! :))

Me and my Panny....oh yes!
I love my Panny:it's not a pro camera,but light to handle and friendly to use...
The sensor of the FZ18 has the same small size like a normal compact camera.
In this Gallery I have had a lot of fun with this crazy Ladies....
I had set my camera on aperture priority and I played with the flash power control and exposure compensation. Mostly -1 to -2 flash power and +1/3 to +1 exposure control.
All these pictures are taken at "Casa delle Farfalle & Co." Milano Marittima,Italy. (Thanks for giving me the permission to publish these pictures on the net)
Have fun,guys!
Paolo
