Join me as I take my Leica Q on a street photography walk through historic Findlay Market and Cincinnati's famous Over-the-Rhine district. Founded in 1852, Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously operating public market and one of the most historic destinations in the Midwest. In this episode of my Leica Summer Series, I explore the market, photograph architecture, street scenes, local businesses, murals, and some of Cincinnati's rich brewing history. Along the way, we'll visit iconic locations near Samuel Adams Brewery, Rhinegeist Brewery, and discover why Over-the-Rhine remains one of the most photogenic neighborhoods in the country. For this outing, I challenged myself by shooting the Leica Q entirely in automatic mode while capturing RAW images that were later processed using DxO PhotoLab 9 and PureRAW 6. Whether you're interested in street photography, Leica cameras, Cincinnati history, travel destinations, or simply looking for photography inspiration,...

Experience Buffalo Trace Distillery through the Leica Q as part of my Leica Q Summer Series. My wife and I made a quick trip to Frankfort, Kentucky to pick up some bourbon, and while I couldn’t film inside, I brought the Leica Q along to capture the historic grounds, old brick buildings, and the atmosphere of America’s oldest continuously operating distillery. Buffalo Trace has been producing bourbon since the late 1700s and even stayed open during Prohibition by making “medicinal whiskey.” The property is full of character, history, and incredible photographic opportunities. In this video, I’m sharing the images I captured during our visit — including a few high‑ISO indoor shots that show how well the Leica Q still performs. If you enjoy this style of video, let me know in the comments. I live within a short drive of dozens of distilleries, and I’d be happy to photograph more of them for the Leica Q Summer Series. Thanks for watching — remember to like, comment, and subscribe. Stay...

Join me for a peaceful morning photo walk through Walton, Kentucky as I kick off my new Leica Summer Series using the classic Leica Q with its fixed 28mm f/1.7 lens. In this video, we explore small-town Northern Kentucky at sunrise, photographing veterans memorials, local businesses, country barns, and everyday life using only a handheld setup. Along the way, I share why I love simplifying photography gear, what it’s like shooting with an 11-year-old Leica camera in 2026, and why small towns often make the best places for storytelling photography. We stop by local favorites like Bailey Jaynes Bakery, Taylor’s Barber Shop, and of course Waffle House, while capturing the quiet atmosphere of Walton in the early morning light. This video is part travel photography, part street photography, and part landscape photography adventure — all focused on enjoying photography with minimal gear and a simple approach. 📷 Gear Used: • Leica Q (2015) • 28mm f/1.7 Lens • DJI Pocket 3 • Handheld Phot...

Join me on an unforgettable photography adventure across the Australian Outback as we travel nearly 6,000 kilometers through Queensland and the Northern Territory capturing sunrise landscapes, epic sunsets, wildlife, birds, and the rugged beauty of Australia. From the remote town of Richmond and endless outback highways to sunset reflections at Mundara Lake, the Devils Marbles near Tennant Creek, Nitmiluk National Park, Kakadu, Yellow Water Billabong, and Fogg Dam Conservation Area near Darwin, this journey became the trip of a lifetime. Along the way, we photograph massive outback landscapes, thousands of birds, crocodile country, dramatic skies, gum trees, reflections, and the incredible wildlife that makes Australia unlike anywhere else in the world. Not every photograph was a success, but every stop brought a new challenge and unforgettable experience. In this video: • Outback sunrise photography • Wildlife and bird photography • Landscape photography tips in harsh light • Kakad...

After an incredible photography trip through Australia, I had a fascinating conversation with travel photographer Brendan Van Son about sensor size, dynamic range, megapixels, and whether medium format cameras are truly worth the cost for landscape photography. We discussed Micro Four Thirds, full frame, Fuji APS-C, Canon, Nikon, and even medium format systems like the Hasselblad X2D and Fujifilm GFX series. Is dynamic range really the biggest advantage? Are megapixels overrated? And should landscape photographers consider switching to medium format? As someone who shoots the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II alongside my Leica Q, this conversation really made me rethink what matters most in photography gear. Would you switch to medium format for landscape photography? Or is Micro Four Thirds and full frame already more than enough? Brendan Van Son: https://www.youtube.com/@BrendanvanSon
