The Lumix 20/1.7 being a 40mm in classic 135 film terms, and thus pretty close to a perfect normal lens, it is the ideal focal length for a huge range of photographic topics, chief among which is reportage.

These roadworks close to a local grocery store have been going on for weeks, and it looks like they’re finally making some progress. They’re installing a roundabout, so traffic in and out of the store’s parking lot will go together more smoothly with the traffic passing by. The picture was pre-edited in Lightroom and finished with Nik Color Efex, using the Kodak Elitechrome 200 preset.
