    The USS Yorktown is anchored there, with more WW2 ships and a submarine behind it. They're great for a tour.

    The alligator in the pond loves pets, all sizes included, so a tough German Shepherd or Pitbull is just another lunch.

    I like the pond with the invisible alligator! He would have a duck dinner, I guess…
    In the shot just above, is that an aircraft carrier moored up there close to shore? I'm surprised the water is deep enough!

    This is a place I visit on the Charleston County shoreline. The pond usually has a resident alligator, courtesy of Bulls Island nearby. There's a light fog in the background.

    This is JPEG only, shot through a plate-glass window, with some unavoidable reflections even though the lens barrel was squarely in contact with the window glass. So, a little cloning to remove the reflections….

    This image required significant perspective correction, and then cropping, so may look a bit ragged. Shot as JPEG only.

    Not really interested in shooting 4K with this camera, I wish they would strip this out and put the savings into a lower priced option. To me, video has to be done right, which requires a lot of support equipment which I do not carry around on a daily basis.

    dalethorn replied to the topic Humming from lens. in the forum Leica Q (Typ 116) 10 years, 7 months ago

    I still have the original 1.0 firmware. The lens makes a noise, which I wouldn't say is humming because there's no particular tone, just the noise. With OIS off, the noise is fairly steady, but with OIS on, you can hear the noise constantly changing as the lens is moving to compensate for shaking. I also tried setting the focus to continuous…[Read more]

    More-or-less abandoned stone church, Akron Ohio, probably now owned by Akron University. As the industrial era wound down, Akron U has acquired thousands of acres of land near downtown for bargain prices.

    Hi, I got my Q the other day, today I updated to firmware 1.1, and I think that it seemed that it makes a little bit more noise (it can be me who forgot how it sounded before). When the camera is turned on, when I put the ear to the lens, I can hear a humming even when the focus botton is not pressed, OIS is not engaged. It stops only when the…[Read more]
