I've been going since I was 9. My dad and uncles would go to the Sebring 12 hour race every March. This was pre-interstate and the drive down was grueling.
I got to see many greats of the era race - Stirling Moss, Phil Hill, Jackie Stewart, Jimmy Clark, John Surtees, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Mario Andretti (when he drove for Ferrari), Denise McCluggage, Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby.
'Swirling Seas At The Lighthouse'...
on a rainy, windy and very cold (40 deg) morning. Is it really Spring here in New England on April 23rd?
A one second long exposure to slow down the wave action.
SL, 24-90mm lens at 24mm, f10, 1 sec, iso 400 with ND Filter

LOVE this one, bob. The movement of the waves and the boat cruising past... good stuff. What lighthouse is that?
I will add another one while I am at it. Different subject this time, and let me introduce you all to my lovely wife. This shot is taken with my favourite lens, the Zeiss C Sonnar 50/1.5. I have had this lens for about a year, and I have admired the rendering since day one. Not clinically sharp, but with "rounded sharpness" as Zeiss calls it. This makes it ideal for portraits, as the skin details are softened in a very pleasing and natural way. However, what I truly adore about this lens is the bokeh which I would characterise as smooth structure. You can clearly see the surroundings, but they are still rendered in a soft way, with no hard edges. And bokeh balls are always circular, all the way to the edges.

RobThats a great start Rob Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks very much. I have had the Q for less than one week, and I am loving it more each day. As a bit of a Sony fanboy, I must say that the Q puts my beloved RX1 to shame in almost every way. For me, the challenge is to learn how to use a 28mm lens for everyday walk around purposes. Two points stand out--get close, and try to keep the camera as level as possible.
Here is a portrait of a statuette that I took in my own home.

I am not surprised The camera seems to be excellent every way it is, and the lens is probably one of the best 28mm lenses out there!
