[Leica] More family pictures from the Q2

[Brian Reid]

The more I use this Q2 the more I like it. Here are 8 shots taken at a 
weekend family brunch. 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

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.
