The more I shoot with my new (new-to-me) Q7, the more I am discovering the addictive joys of Q-mania.
In this case, all of these photos were shot with the 01 prime lens which, with a relatively fast maximum aperture of f1.9, allows available light shooting in a variety of conditions, with surprisingly (to me) good results.
Like this photo-decal of someone's dog, on the back of a station wagon, spotted while walking around the small town where I live---
Then a shot of the stuffed (and masked!) Monkey who 'supervises' the produce department at a local (and cool) supermarket---
Nearby, in the same store, a Chocolate Easter Bunny whose expression seems to indicate he might be happier elsewhere---
Then a classic shot which probably millions of photographers have taken, are taking, and will take: of my own shadow. This one was taken using the Q7's 'Bold Monochrome' setting---
Then something simple from my daily walk: a dead leaf on top of a hedge. But a monochrome treatment seemed better than the original colour version---
One more black & white version (lightly tweaked in Nik plug-ins & Lightroom) of a cloudscape I took on the rural outskirts of the small town where I live---
And finally another available light shot - of a lunchbox I bought in an Indian market, which features a portrait of the Hindu deity Shiva. This last shot was taken with the Q7's 'Bleach Bypass' filter, which somehow seemed just right for the vibe of this image---
I have to say, again: what a cool camera this is.
