All cropped radically from the full frame; in general I was 2-3 meters away from the subject. My sister, Lucille, the youngest of my siblings http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000576.jpg.html My nephew Dan's wife, Grace http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000593.jpg.html My nephew Ethan, who is Lucille's son http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000608.jpg.html My daughter Elizabeth. You've seen pictures of her before http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000613.jpg.html My brother Russell, the oldest of my siblings http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000627.jpg.html My nephew Dan http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000641.jpg.html My nephew Garrett, who is Russell's son http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000643.jpg.html Russell's wife (and Garrett's mother), Beth http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1000696.jpg.html I usually try to take full-on pictures of a person looking straight at me. This was an experiment in whether I could use auto-focus and radical cropping to take non-intrusive pictures. I sat the camera on the table in front of me and used the chipping display to know where to point it. Only Elizabeth even noticed what I was doing. If it stops raining I will probably go see what this camera will do on the streets of my upscale little town. Though Leica does claim that the Q2 is waterproof.
