Thanks all, terrace shot...

Keep them coming - the images so far are fun and interesting.

Here's my first submission: Lakeside. Shot at Smallwood Park in Waldorf, MD. I actually stopped the car with my Fiancee riding along to hop out and take it

Sony RX100, JPEG mode, In-camera HDR, nominal settings of f/9.0 1/125 and ISO 125. Edited in Aviary for Saturation, contrast and brightness.

Thanks for the submission - glad you were inspired! Is that the RX100 model 1?

You are welcome! I have another shot planned if I can ever get it all together.

Yep, it's the mark 1! No bloody MK II, MK III, or MK IV.

I bought my RX100 for Christmas, the year it came out in 2012. The upgraded models are appealing, but not enough to spend the money purely on the upgrades.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, the unedited original, and the Non-HDR shot of this image are on my Flickr so you can see the differences.

It's Moscow, close to Rechnoy Vokzal.

Great symbolism.

Lovely colours and reflections, Erik!

Thanks, Bart! Once I played with the settings it actually looked like what I really saw

Great burst of energy from you guys late in the month - keep it coming - all of the shots have something to recommend them from the entire month - but the more the merrier. I'm going to have "fun" picking a winner!

I try to shoot the images for a particular contest during the contest as a creative exercise, but I wanted to enter this one as it's just lovely.

RX100, Straight out of the camera, 1/4s f/1.8 ISO3200. Steadied on the door of my car. I shut the lights and engine off to make the shot more steady.

Creative stabilization is a valid technique. I think all of us have found ourselves out without a tripod on occasion and an opportunity for a shot pops up we can't let go without trying.

Don't know of any other Point & Shoot compact which would give such a clean, noise-free image at ISO 3200. The RX100 is a great camera.

You have to work with what you've got!

It really is. I love mine. It might be the best digital camera purchase I've ever made.
