Great shot! I might have to start a separate skull thread. 😄

Michaelina...I'll make sure to check that out. They also have a three-story tequila tower in the main bar that I still need to snag a photo of. I love the Robin Williams pic.

Thanks Gary! The focus-peaking is essential to master. As I keep practicing it, my "keeper-rate" keeps increasing.

Went shopping with the family today to buy more clothes for our 8-year old daughter who stubbornly insists on growing like a weed. Decided to bring my Q7 with fisheye mounted (and a few other lenses) in the event I saw anything interesting to shoot. Turns out the new Mexican restaurant near us has a wall of skulls...

Wow! That came out great, John!

Ya gotta love the ability to shoot in RAW on such a tiny camera. :)

Thanks LeRolls! I really like the 08 a lot. I need to use it more. Football season is starting soon so I'm looking forward to some wide angle shots taken from the top of Rutgers' football stadium.

Denny,

I haven't used a polarizer often so I can't really compare. My understanding is that a polarizer helps with reflections while limiting some light...but ND filters are better for restricting the amount of light coming into lens.

This was my first time using this filter that I have had for several years. I went to open the case and it was still factory-sealed. That's when I realized, "I really need to use the gear I buy more often!"

We did a family trip to Bushkill Falls in Pennsylvania. I didn't want to lug alot of gear so the Q7 (with the 01, 06, and 08 mounted) was the obvious choice along with a gorilla pod.

Mounting the gorilla pod on the fence posts in the park was more of a challenge than I expected. Mostly because other people were banging into the fence or walking heavily on the decking which caused some shaking. But overall, the Q7 was ideal for the purpose. It was still pretty bright out so I used the built in ND filter combined with an ND4 filter for the waterfall shots.

Jva59, they were enormous. I ordered a small cone so I could help Elly with hers. But the girl behind the counter piled it on high...not that I'm complaining. :)

A quick self-portrait of my daughter and I at OWowCow Ice Cream. Taken with the Pentax Q7 and 08 lens. The 08 makes it really easy to get multiple people into a selfie. :)

One of the things I love about the Q7 with the 01 Prime is that you can keep it in the pocket of a jacket or cargo shorts. Which means you can always have it with you when little moments come up.

The other night, after we finished eating our dinner on the deck, my daughter grabbed my wife and said, "Dance with me!" Fortunately, the Q7 was in my pocket at that moment.

Thanks, Larry! I was impressed at how well a Q7 image shot at ISO 6400 cleaned up.

Shot with the Q7+03 fisheye.

I should have gotten a tripod but I did this shot quick. This spider set up its web on my deck last night. I quickly grabbed my Q7 with the 03 fisheye and took some shots. I had to boost the ISO to 6400 and use spot metering to get the shutter speed to 1/80th of a second. I also used my iPhone as a light source. The front of the lens was less than an inch from Sheba (my name for her).

The challenge is that holding the iPhone in one hand and the Q7 made good camera stabilization techniques difficult...but I like the shot anyway.

Shot using RAW format and did some post-processing in Lightroom.
