It is where you live or close to where you live. This was shot in Beaverton, Oregon. It was a foggy misty evening and I was trying out the original Qβs low light capabilities.
We should gather a few local photographers and have a pdx meet up.

I really like the tones out of the mono. I have often thought of getting a mono but don't know if I would mis having a color option. Am I being too conservative here? I would say most of my images are converted to B&W
I understand the dilemma. I spoiled myself by purchasing the Q2M in addition to having another Q camera so I can have the "best" of both worlds. My opinion is that the Q2M is worth the expense if you shoot higher ISO values, including low-light situations or want to make huge print. Otherwise, converting Leica color images is more than good enough. For this shot, I don't really think there was much of an advantage shooting the Q2M over a standard color sensor. Of course, going out with only the Q2M helps me to think, see, and record in B&W just as I did walking around with only Tri-X or another B&W film in my film camera all those years ago.
and share it.
