Today while riding a bike on the way home I took a few photos of the Laajalahti/Otaniemi area in Espoo. One subject was this chair by the reeds of Laajalahti, seemingly abandoned.
One challenge in photography is the control of depth of field. I have been practising a bit, but still it doesn't come naturally any more. And what I remember from my 35 mm SLR does not apply to the 1/1.6 inch sensor of the LX3. In any case, usually there is no problem in having enough depth of field, but the reverse is sometimes a problem. But occasionally when taking closeups there is need to go to f/4 or even f/8 to get the subject wholly sharp.

That's certainly and unfortunate consequence of a small sensor. The lenses usually have infinite depth of field, which can be quite annoying.
Indeed, it is hard (impossible) to get always the kind of bokeh you have with full frame. But with f/2.0 and subjects close to the lens quite nice effects are still possible.
