I like the little old church of my hometown to try out new cameras or lenses. So I did today with my brandnew Q2M.

I like the composition of the upright interior image (towards the organ loft). Puzzled... the two women didn't move between your pictures up and down the aisle and they both seem to be sitting in 'roped-off/forbidden' lines of benches. I cannot check the higher resolution images as my server does not allow short-form URLs or Flickr (let alone both). Are they models or mannequins to make the church more comfortable for worship or do you run very quickly? 🙂

Something a bit different:

Wolves are back in Belgium since 2-3 years after decades of absence.

My wife leaves reading glasses all over the house, and I like to photograph them as they lie.

My first video with the Q2M. It works well, but one drawback is having to have someone else half-click the shutter for focus. I'm used to making videos by myself with a camcorder, where no other person is needed. Is there a way to ensure focus and start the video recording while sitting five feet away?

The tenor banjo is only one of the instruments I play, guitar being the main one. FYI, this banjo hails from Boston circa 1917. It has hardly any sustain at all, which some of you might find difficult, but I enjoy making little arrangements like this for it. Eddy Davis - Woody Allen's banjo player - died of Covid recently, and the little online tenor-banjo community is quite saddened. Hence this little tribute.

Manual focusing - maybe face recognition af mode. Obviously  in mf you have to get something  to be the focus point. If you have app installed your phone, then you can also control  the focusing and then just clip a few  seconds from the beginning 

 

And beautifully  played too - thanks for sharing 👍

Phil beat me to it with the advice, and thank you for the video - Lovely, simple and achingly sad.. 

In the summer of '64 my best friend and I drove around North America singing for our supper - We both lost weight. We brought along two 6-string and two 12-string acoustic guitars. In Boulder Colorado we stopped at the Ode Banjo factory, where we ended up talking with its owner, Chuck Ogsbury and watching him and his artisans craft their wonderful banjos until nearly midnight, after which we went to Chuck's home for the night.  When we awoke the next morning Chuck was already back down the mountain in the factory, and his wife Sandy made us breakfast after breast feeding her infant daughter.  (As of two or three years ago when I spoke with his daughter Chuck still worked at his factory, with his daughter at his side.)  We picked up a long necked six string banjo he just completed for us.  One of the unique features of his banjos was a bronze tone ring mounted on the inner circumference of the back of the banjo, about 3/4 of an inch wide.  Along with his attention to detail and design that banjo would play as loud as a Gibson Mastertone equipped with a full resonator, but with significantly better sound.  It's rim was of wood.  It looked wonderful with the hand-cut head, Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, and intricate mother of pearl inlays, and it was exceptionally smooth to play.

About two years later Chuck sold the company to Baldwin, a firm that started out with pianos and organs, and wanted to sell additional musical instruments through their piano and organ dealers.  One of the other firms they bought was Gretsch guitars.  Then they got into banking and financial products, over expanded and went bankrupt.  Fred Gretsch, Jr bought back the Gretsch name.  By '67 Chuck was overtaken by wanderlust, but in the '70s got back into making banjos, under the brand name of OME.  I understand they are even better than the Ode banjos.

Thanks, Phil. What app is it you speak of? I have the Leica FOTOS app, but can't see how to use at as you suggest. 

Hi Rob,

can't try it right now as the camera is in NJ - remote control feature. It works in picture mode for sure , and yes it does focus where you touch in the screen if you have that feature enabled. I have not tried with video, but it's very likely to work, I would imagine so. After connection established, there is an option for remote camera - page 140 in the manual
