Dana Yi's photostream  

I am currently playing around with the Panasonic GX1. It's a great little camera and I am fully exploring every little feature. Only thing I don't like is the flash. Nobody really likes on camera flash right? Usually I adjust on camera flash on a point and shoot until I KIND OF like it. This flash has a nice little feature. It really isn't a feature and probably shouldn't be used the way I do BUT I do like the results and it almost feels like I put a strobe on the hotshoe. In order to close this flash you bend it back and then click it back into the camera. I just bend it and tada..your flash now bounces off the ceiling. Hold the camera differently, bend it and bounce it off a reflector or any kind of surface you would like to use. I took this shot with the Panasonic GX1 on camera flash that I had bent backwards and then bounced it off my dishwasher door ( shiny silver ). This is the sooc shot and it's pretty cool considering its a pop up, on camera flash. Just gotta be careful not to break it. ( photo explanation in the comment section )

We do enjoy the water. We love taking walks on the beach. The weather was beautiful today so we spent some time just walking around getting muddy. Nothing like watching a beautiful sunset by the water.

We were playing around at home. My daughter was jumping on the couch, dancing in front of the tv while staring at her reflection. I loved that and grabbed the camera to snap this shot of our reflection in the tv. It had the polaroid snapshot feel to it so I edited it exactly like that.
