If you\u2019ve been following me on Instagram<\/a> the past few weeks then you probably know my family and I were in Colorado for the month of July.<\/p>\n

While I was there I made a commitment to take my Leica Q<\/a> everywhere I went and to shoot at least a couple of photos each day. I\u2019ve only had the Q for a month now, and I\u2019m still getting comfortable with it. And the only way I know to get confident and familiar with it is to just keep shooting. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing. And, I have to say, the more I use it — and the more accustomed I get with the wide, 28mm lens — the more I like the camera. But now I am getting ahead of myself.<\/p>\n

Every evening I would import the day\u2019s photos onto my iPad, pick out my favorites, edit them in either Priime or VSCO (which is another story for another day), and then post one of them to Instagram.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be sharing more of those images over the coming days here on the site.<\/p>\n

To kick things off, one of my favorite photos so far is the lake photo above. This image was taken around six in the morning at Arapaho Reservoir while my brothers and I were fishing.<\/p>\n

The Leica Q shoots images at 6000×4000 resolution \u2014 which is big enough even for the Retina 5k iMac.<\/p>\n

Thus, this image is my current iMac wallpaper, and I thought you might like it as well. And, of course, you can also put it on your phone, iPad, et al.<\/p>\n
