Here are few test shots taken with my newly acquired Q + 02 lens. I like the Bright picture setting than the Normal setting.

Q7 and Q-01 lens. Each represents some kind of transition on its own, and in addition the second one and the last one show the transition that happened in 10 days (because these were shot for Point and Shoot Competition #169 - Transitions -).

This month's competition, Point and Shoot Competition #170 - No Theme. Enter anything! -, is open for entries now. Q series is welcome, enter and have fun!

Great shots! What's the shutter speed of the falls picture? It seems that google strips exif data.

it was on 1/15. I was aiming for longer but the sun was still pretty much out, even at 8pm. I'm waiting for a more cloudy kind of afternoon to try again.

I really like the color of sun-lit and moss-covered rock but I'm curious, please share the results on a cloudy day!

Anyway, if you're after smooth water blur, maybe you can use/buy additional ND filter? The built-in ND filter (which you used, I'm guessing) only goes 2-stops, which isn't enough for such a purpose.

Yeah I used only the built-in ND. I have not tried any physical ND filters yet, I'm quite interested on how they would affect the photos, but I wasn't sure if Q lenses can fit an ND filter.

I'm still waiting for a cloudy day for this shot or at least a normal 4-5 pm sundown. It's been quite sunny lately. The funny thing about learning with the Q is that all along I thought as long as there's plenty of light, photos should turn out great. I used to skip going out to take photos on a cloudy, grey day. Turns out that's one of the best lighting I could have if I miss the golden hour (which I do, I sleep in on my off days lolz)

---------- Post added 05-12-22 at 04:32 PM ----------

A little intermission before I do another photo dump:

The left one is the pentax Q with 01 lens cropped to as much as I can, the shot is really far away, I didn't bring my 06 lens. The right is the google pixel 6, also cropped to match the Q shot.

I've been using the Q 9/10 times when I purposely go out to take photos now, and I think I can now see the appeal of the Q vs a phone camera shot. It's never gonna be as sharp or clear, but there's something about the Q shot. Embrace the grain and haze!
