    First shot is fun, if it were not your word then I'd suspect photoshopping...
    Seems like road is only place for cows to rest without rolling down...

    Love this shot. I think that colour version works better, BW gets lost for me with all the details.

    78 000 frames? Wow, it's full-time job for several days.
    Love these images, they look like computer renderings with geometry and cleanness.

    Well I have only copied a fraction of the total, just the stuff that I interested me. It still took several days.

    Sea cliffs and Weather

    Just returned from a week on the Isle of Mull, where our accommodation had barely functional wifi and I could only find phone signal on top of the windiest hilltops - hence my absence for the last week. The weather was very Scottish...

    A fine set as usual, of a fine building. It's the last with its geometrical play and subtle shading that I enjoyed most.

    Very nice results, how did you sedate these birds and they stayed 25s :) Were you singing :) I liked it very much, it has a sinister tone and I love it.

    I dont know which one is more creepy, the place or the exhibition.

    This is my pick, I think BW suits it too.

    OK, Q3 is a unique camera, no camera delivers high MP FF sensor and sharp and fast lens in that small package. Even A7C (not MPs) with a fast lens attached. Thats the appeal, having RF design is desirable by many (including me). The closest thing is X100V which is cropped, 35 mm and no OIS.
    You can get a A7RV and a 1.4 lens of you favourite FL, this combo will be cheaper than Q3 plus you dont need to wait Leica's LOTTERY to be able to get one [Yes you need to be selected by Leica to be able to get one, it is funny isn't it; you have been selected to give us £5.3K:) ] you can get your Sony delivered next day. But financially it still makes sense if you take in to account its potential resale value. People paid £4 K at the launch of Q2 can sell their cameras after 4 years around £3.5 @ eBay. I can reasonably expect Q3 will keep its value in a similar way.
    Now why I wanted to get one. In my mind, I thought I needed a ILC system and a small everyday camera with weather sealing. Q3 would have been ideal for, DoF control, low light FF camera and small. High MP would have been a bonus. [Ideally a EM5 M3 would be nice but small mFT primes are not weather sealed, weather sealed ones are not small, for me pretty useless above ISO 1600.] So I thought if I had Q3, this would have solved small package problem [mainly for street photography], I would be able to get back the money I spent if I decided to sell or part exchange[so financially not as bad as it looks] and my Pana G9 would be good for other bits.
    But I did not get Q3 and decided to go for FF ILC and keep X100V for small package. I sacrificed from high MP, OIS , FF low light and DoF control on my small camera [X100V] and spent much less.
    Overall I am happy. My needs for Q3 are probably just excuses. X100V serves well, S5 delivers so much more than its price tag.

    A WOW set, you should dig your archives more often, these are my picks but the WHOLE set is so nice.

    Thanks your nice comments, the appearance of the woman was just a silhouette and I wanted to keep it this way. But I see your point.
