Mine doesn't get as much use as it should but fortunately it's still working OK.

You may not be aware but there's been changes to the Goth Weekend, the official WGW lost the use of the Spa for the markets and bands and someone else started an event called Tomorrows Ghost, last year they were on separate dates but this year they were combining again, obviously Corona put a stop to that, Tomorrows Ghosts have just recently announced they will not be hosting in November and April next year may be a low key event depending on how the pandemic pans out, I'm assuming WGW will be along the same lines. Last week was the July Steampunk Weekend and despite been canceled many apparantly still turned out.

Yes, but it's relatively easy;

Can't argue about the sunsets Steve, although I used the 02 for this one, all I've done is crop some tents out on the bottom and a bit of sharpening.

It's easy, not much different to updating firmware. just download the files and follow the instructions.

Matt Hancock also confirmed that households in the areas of the north of England affected by the additional lockdown measure cannot visit each other at home – but they can visit households outside the affected areas as long as they observe social distancing.
I was thinking we could have some peace and quiet this Saturday, looks like the Grandkids will be coming over from Bradford after all

Landscapes turn out nice, apart from cropping the sea from the bottom this again has only had slight tweaking of levels and little sharpening. Comment Image


Had a go with the in camera HDR but the results look a bit muddy , I tried the HDR 1 & 2 settings but they were both terrible. This was HDR Auto straight out of the camera, just like all my other cameras I doubt the Q will see the use of the HDR feature again.

Not tried RAW yet (I'm too lazy to process)

Any trip to Whitby must include the obligatory Lobster Pots, composition could have been better but the Q is such a pain to use in bright light, taken with the 02 standard zoom.

Rail buffs will recognise this place, camera rested on fence post, taken with the 06 Telephoto.

Never thought the Q would be any good for wildlife, I did manage to catch several snaps of a Heron but the light was bad, too much noise and distinct lack of feather detail, however the 06 Telephoto may prove itself to be my prefered lens for squirrels.

All shot as jpegs and more or less straight from the camera with only slight adjustments to levels and a bit of sharpening.
