    Just like the iconic Steve MeCurry, I was so glad to see the end of film. After airports and lugging it around for 3 decades, digital was so liberating and marvelous. I adore my FF digital cameras and wouldn't go back to film if you paid me. Though your film images look OK, I'm with your partner - the digital Leica would be the one I'd choose. This is hypothetical of course, because here in Australia, body only for the M11 is just on 13,000 AUD. A decent Leica lens is then another 6,500 AUD on top of that. That's close to a cool $20,000 - daylight robbery!

    Jamie, it’s a good thing I’m recently retired or I wouldn’t have the time to watch your videos. As a dyed in the wool Leica guy your stuff really résignâtes with me. I primarily use the Q3 and Q3 43 now and the SL3 sits in my go bag for long periods of time unfortunately. I appreciate your film work. I have to say I traded my M6 in 18 months ago and I do miss it. What I really wanted to say is that one of the major reasons my wife and I moved to southern France from Canada is to allow us to travel to unreal locations in Europe at the drop of a hat cheaply. Today’s video brought back some great memories from my last visit to Istanbul 8 ish years ago. I had the Q-P then. I maintain to this day the colours from the Q 116 were beautiful. Another big regret selling it on. The images I got at the Blue Mosque and the Galata Tower at night are some of my favourites. I have to say both you and partner’s images were cracking today. And one question if you will. At about 14:30 in this video you walked into a bright Mosque. That is on my bucket list for next time. What is it called?
    Cheers
    Mark

      @@jamie.dop_ We were there with two young children but did manage to visit the bazaar, Blue Mosque, Saint Sophia (both of which seemed the same as in your video) and the Cistern (that was dark back then but your photographs made it seem larger than I remember). I really enjoyed your street photographs and thought you got some great images from the people - despite the comments made by others. I really like your minimalist approach with just the two cameras and two lenses between you. I rarely feel brave enough to venture out with such a small kit but then miss the sort of images that you manage to get. We have recently returned from Hyderabad visiting relatives that we hadn't seen in 40 years (you're now beginning to get an idea of how old I am). I did particularly enjoy an evening stroll around a local food market using only my Leica Q (original) and was very pleased with some of the results even if I was a little hampered by two of our relatives who insisted on accompanying us and then showing me how much better the images were that he had taken with his iPhone.

    Dude, I said it before and I'll say it again: you really know how to put these clips together to create a vibe, which makes it somehow addicting watching your POV videos :)
    As always your shots are so stunning! In these videos it looks so effortless, but I guess that's the result of years and years of practise and experience.
    Today I finally had the chance to go out and shoot a bit on the street, but unfortunately I was happy with my shot and somehow my mind was also not in the correct place. Rushed things too much and being an introvert I'm always "worried" some might catch me off guard, when I get an image of them. Put I know that's a matter of practise.
    And your video today again motivates and inspires me to go out and shoot more instead of g.a.s. - but I have to admit, I gell to g.a.s. a lot lately ^^
    Keep rocking mate! And looks like you'll hit the 10k sub milestone soon :)

      @@IntrovertAmateur thanks so much mate. Kind words. I think there is a huge element of carry yourself how you want to feel and slightly lie to yourself helps you reach the mood you want. Relax and take your time and you will calm into it, overwhelmed either step back and observe or dive in and match the intensity. People sis you out from your own energy and maybe even feel it from you, so act happy, unthreatening, calm and friendly and others will likely do the same. When I went to photograph in Harlem NYC I told myself I was tough and confident, maybe too confident and I carried myself with speed and a bit of an uneasy strut. I felt it would make me seem unfazed and not easy prey and finally not worth the risk of approaching me. Don’t know if all this makes sense? But I feel carry yourself how you want to actually feel and it may allow you to find yourself in the right headspace and place to be out photographing. Sorry rambled on a bit there!
