Travel photography in India October 2018 with my Leica Q. Converted to mono using Silver Efex Pro 2 (through Photoshop with initial developing in DxO PhotoLab 2). Some cropping because it helps to tell the story. All shooting in RAW. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but… IMHO the …

Street photography in recent India trip (October 2018) with my Leica Q. Converted to mono using Silver Efex Pro 2 (through Photoshop with initial developing in DxO PhotoLab 2). Some cropping because it helps to tell the story. All shooting in RAW. Not much to say really, let the pictures …

In October 2018 we travelled to Bhutan then on to India, visiting the “Golden Triangle” and Varanasi. Only a short sample of India, but what a contrast from Bhutan!

A couple of days on Lake Como based in Bellagio in summer 2016. Photography using Leica Q then post-processed with DXO PhotoLab and Lightroom.

Christmas trip to Sydney with my Leica Q. Retail therapy. Sort of street photography but with a retail theme. The Q fits perfectly in my hand and is quiet. Also doesn’t look too serious so easier to just snap and go.
