Photography: Playing Around

I’ve borrowed a few cameras that I’m playing with on vacation. I’m experimenting with lenses and systems much different than my own. My biggest take away—I can use any camera. I think that was good for me to learn. While the colors of the Sony Alpha 7 IV where beautiful, I was really blown away by the feel of the Leica Q2. Dude, that camera feels GOOD in your hand.

I’ve mixed up the images in this post, some taken with the two borrowed cameras, and some with my Olympus. Honestly, editing them all, it wasn’t as big a difference as I’d thought. It really seems it’s the lens that matters more than anything. I ordered a new/used one that’s 50mm with a much lower f1.8. I’ll be testing it out next week at the State Fair and report back.

For those not following my slight nerd rant, can I interest you in deer triplets?? (see below) They were seriously so cute!

Let me know if you have a favorite shot and have a fantastic day!

    • Yeah, I’ll never afford one, but you’d love it! It feels so nice in your hand, has wonderful speed and just overall is clearly expensive (haha!) I’m going to see if I can borrow it another day and try out some family photography with it.

      • I see, thanks. I was just looking their website at the models thanks to your post. The one I liked had a fixed 24-70mm lens.

        I need to change lenses but I’m sure their other models have interchangeable lenses.

        I’ve been using a Nikon for so many years that a different brand would not feel right!

        I have four lenses for my Nikon Z series body, buying into a new brand would be suuuuper expensive……

  6. 1-5, 8. Curious if you got what you wanted on 11. And how the heck did you get so close to the fawns? Personal bias: I wish the photos were more saturated, you know, like real life. 🙄 Says the old man
