A diagonal fish-eye lens was used in this 2012 shot. Despite using a sturdy tripod, some shake were still visible at 100 percent view. This was probably due to shutter shock which thing the older Panasonic cameras, such as the GX1 used here, were quite prone to. Thankfully, things looked fine at this size.

The Sun Knows Its Going Down
This was taken against the setting sun and the original capture was somewhat hazy and drab. Reds and yellows were then tweaked in post to fix that.
A London Sunrise
Sailing Into The Sunset
Under The Lambeth Bridge
Shining In The Dark
As this was captured handheld, the ISO needed to be pushed up to 6400 to get a barely hand-holdable shutter speed. The exposure was biased 2 stops darker for the sake of keeping highlights.
However, when shadows were brightened up, the noise penalty in addition to captured noise came up to over 20 which had need to be fixed in post. But remaining noise in the sky was left alone as they somehow looked a little like stars.
Looking Beyond The Sunset
A City On Sabbatical
This was taken from across the Marina Bay at the equivalent focal length of 150mm. At ISO 6400, the shutter speed was a mere 1/40 second.
“It Is Finished”
This was a very dimly lit spot in an indoor bazaar. At ISO 3200 (the maximum that I would go for the camera), the shutter speed was just 1/60 second for a 155mm focal length. Fortunately, this one came out okay.
The Last Supper
This was taken at an indoor bazaar and so the lighting wasn’t that good. At ISO 1250, the shutter speed was a mere 1/40 second. Thankfully, things turned out okay.
All Wrapped Up
This was captured at base ISO and even with an aperture of f2.8, the shutter speed was a mere 1/6 second. Thankfully, everything came out sharp. The camera had to be braced against the glass screen though.
Outdoor Arts
With a shutter speed of only 0.8 second, the camera was placed on a roof parapet to get the shot. And as the original background had looked rather busy, it was locally darkened and toned down in post.
