Thanks mate! Happy shooting! My friends and family chipped in the get the Jesse print for my 30th. It’s edition 9 of 10 and the tenth one got snapped up by the NGV! (National Gallery of Victoria if you’re not from Aus). Very lucky to have it 🥰

@@luciengraetz what an amazing gift!! I’ll have to drop some hints with my family about Trent Parke 🤣

@@devlincook5741 hahah good idea!

Legend! So glad to have been of help. Have a great day, and happy Q3ing in the future

Not really about sharpness, old uncoated lenses definitely have a look to them. Especially when it comes to reflections and highlights

Thanks for the kind words mate! Greatly appreciated 💪

Nice 👌

Yeah fair, but I don’t seem to have this problem. I do have a spare battery tho. I keep the camera on then just press the shutter as soon as I see an image occurring to make sure the camera’s on. I find two batteries will last me a whole day of pretty rigorous shooting, and coming from shooting film just carrying one little extra battery doesn’t bother me either. I also shot a G2 for about a decade, love that camera but it’s nowhere near as fast as a Q3. Completely different ball park

Yeah not really possible to mimic a filter exactly, and I prefer it this way, for me the less post processing the better! Each to their own tho. I’m in Japan right now and just shot another ep with the glimmer glass. Got a photo that I think perfectly explains why I prefer the filter over an edit. Hopefully you enjoy it when i upload 👌

I shoot film too and have long focal lengths on my film camera but the Q3 is generally a pretty good everyday carry for travel

Thanks for the feedback.

Nope! And who said I never look people in the eyes? I engage when I want/need to. 99% of people would prefer you’re invisible anyway, and it gets better results, the aim is to capture candid moments without bruising the scene. When I do a street portraiture I’ll talk to the person. Street is completely different tho. Study Vivian Maier or any historically significant street photographer. Enjoy your day.

I honestly can’t fathom why anyone searching for and or just interested in street photography or Leica would make such a comment. I hate internet jargon such as Trolling but here is a clear reason such terms exist. Keep it up Lucien. I admire the restraint and good manners it took to leave your reply. Cheers!

@@mjcatto thanks MJ! Greatly appreciated 🤝

I found it helps give me a slightly better idea of what I’m capturing as opposed to looking at a flat dng on the lcd when I’m out in the sun rushing around

Thanks mate

Nah, I only have the LightPix

Thank you 😎

🤙

Exactly, dng into Lightroom, and yes you can shoot raw with vivid in camera and change back in LR if you wish. Thanks for the lovely comment, have a great day too!

Yeah I’ve been doing this! One of the reasons I bought the camera was to begin playing around with range focussing. It’s good fun 🤝

There are no 10ft on my Q3.. do you mean 6 or infinity?

@@meditationdaily1129 you can stand roughly 10ft away from an object, focus on that, and leave the lens set that way. You can set it anywhere you like, really.

Bahahahahaha all bow down before the keeper of the gate! WE’RE NOT WORTHYY!!! Go fuck yaself Klaud 😂

Honestly couldn’t tell you, it’s digi tho so just play around with the flash strength and see what you like. The lower the shutter speed the more motion/light blur you’ll get. Happy flashing!

Hey! Apologies, I’ve been on holiday. I use a DJI Action 2 👌

Hi! Apologies I’ve been away on holiday. I’ve never had any problems with it, I do a quick bash through Lightroom that’s all 🤝

My video before this one is all about my settings 🤝

thx!

Thanks mate!

Thanks Dominic! 🤝

Appreciate it JD, very nice of you to say 🤝

I did a whole video on my settings 🤝

I found it!! Outstanding. And thank you.

Happy to help, have fun in Tokyo!

Yeah, lucked out hard! Thanks mate 🤝

Hah! I’ve never seen him before, I’ll have to check him out. Good to know the outfit doesn’t take a day off 👌

Yeah, we’re very lucky

Sadly we have nothing like that is Auckland 🥴

Lucky the Q3 works well in low light too! 😅

No idea unfortunately, I’ve never shot a Q2

Thanks mate!

Thank you! Dji action 2

lol, check out my back catalog lazybones hahah

Thanks! Just my first and surname @ gmail 🤝

@@luciengraetz just sent an email :)

Haha, yeah, I still don’t use them tho, I tried them for a bit but ended up taking them off

Thanks! Had this question a bit so my most recent video I went into detail about all my settings too, but yeah, autofocus

Nah I’m good

This guy gets it! Sour planet indeed, haha, don’t blame the tools! Thanks for a great comment 🤝

@@luciengraetz "sour planet indeed" 🤣🤣 That makes me totally reconsider how I do my branding.

@SourPlanet hahah, oh no 🫢😂

Thanks mate! Happy New Year! Enjoy 🤝

See all of my other videos

No idea, maybe!

You are absolutely correct. Really bizarre video. He takes a magnificent 60mp 14 bit sensor and turns it down to medium DNG and 12 bit. May as well use a camera worth about 1/5th this much. And then publishes this video offering advice and doesn’t even realise he is neutering it

Thanks mate! Yeah there’s definitely more than one way to skin a cat! I love hearing other people’s tips and i’ll try out a few of the things you’ve mentioned too, sounds like you’ve got yourself dialled in!

I’d like to try your settings out as well. Do you have more info on the other settings you apply such as file type, profile, etc… Thank you

@@BeKi-gs1wx I don't do anything fancy. I love the default color of the Q116, so I leave it alone. JPG+DNG, and often set the JPG to b&w so I can get graphical compositions easier (raw can be color if needed). Otherwise.. just auto ISO (no minimum) and auto shutter (set to minimum 1/500 via auto ISO). Aperture on the lens. Then I use the wheel to adjust exposure compensation on the fly. I set to wide zone autofocus but I shoot in manual all the time. Occasionally, I'll drop to F1.7 and click into Autofocus for an isolated portrait. 99% of the time, I use zone focus. F5.6 or F8, keep the focus zone at 2m (4ft to near infinity in focus) or hyperfocal- as though it's a "zoom lens" for focal depths. I find this is the best way to work as I'm in NYC and I either want stuff on my side of the street (2m center zone) or across the avenue/down the block (near infinity to hyperfocal). Hope that all makes sense! I keep it very simple, as I like the camera to be pretty transparent in the experience.

@@SourPlanet Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I’ll give your settings a go and adapt as I see fits. I’m new to the Q family so any help is much appreciated. Btw where did you put your AE-L shortcut to? Thank you

​@@BeKi-gs1wx On the original Q, there aren't many options for custom buttons. The button dedicated to swapping crop modes (for mock 35 and mock 50 view) can also be programmed to handle locking functions- including exposure.

Me too

Just my brain gate keeping the words from my mouth. Sort of want to do a part two where I explain everything better 😂

Coming from shooting film, there’s no such thing as unnecessary pictures on digital! Especially shooting street, you never know exactly when the magic will happen, so why not over-shoot and increase your chances? I barely ever look at the screen or through the viewfinder anyway so my “stealth mode” has no downsides for me. Unless it’s something very specific I’m after then I can either use the evf or quickly switch it back to use the screen. I’ve been shooting 28mm for over a decade so have a decent idea of what I’m going to get, the rest is up the universe. Thanks again for another great question! Merry Christmas!

Thanks JD Merry Christmas 🤙

Merry Christmas! Enjoy 🤝
