Documenting life while stationed overseas in Europe.
I started this channel with the intent to document my creative journey and any progress I make along the way. For the longest time, I’d been one to compare my “level 1” to someone else’s “level 10,” and realize that this mentality can hold you back tremendously, creating unnecessary pressure to prevent you from sharing your art or pursuing your passion to the fullest.
The idea of “documenting progress” serves as a reminder to let go of the need for perfection. Early creations will never be perfect-and they don’t need to be. What matters is continuing to create, allowing yourself to grow, welcoming mistakes, and capturing growth as it happens. Later, you can look back and see how far you’ve come, which is all part of the journey.
Your competition is yourself and no one else.

Leica Q3 in Venice | Street Photography & First Impressions
After purchasing the Leica Q3, I spent a few days in Venice, Italy, where I developed my initial thoughts and opinions about the camera.

A short film I made for my girlfriend and I. She had the idea to purchase some prints of our favorite photos from our travels and we decided to stick them in an album together. I recently purchased the Sony FX3 and saw this as a chance to capture the moment and practice some color grading and sound design afterwards. I'm learning a lot as I go!

Why does almost EVERY TH-camr shoot that crap Sony? And this is coming from a GFX100s, GFX50r, and Leica Q2 shooter. Those Sony's are aweful
Excellent video thank you so much. I look forward to what you take on longer trips.
That gondola shot was superb!!! You’re a good photographer! Vid has a good vibe too
Nice video. You still liking the 28mm? I’m looking to buy and don’t have a store near me. So conflicted with the 28vs 43. Maybe rent one first. Do you think you would have bought the 43 over the 28?
@@rebelwithano If I had an option between the 28 vs 43, I would absolutely pick the 43. While I love having a 28mm available to me at such high quality, I still consider myself to prefer 35mm and above for most photography that I do. 35-50mm is more comfortable for me, but in a way that’s why I still enjoy and plan to keep the 28mm: it challenges me to try new styles of shooting than what I’m used to.
@ thanks for your insight.
Hi great review and pics of Venice. You have a lovely way of presenting yourself and since I'm also new to Leica and Q3's I'm subscribing to see more. I have both Q3's, yes I'm blessed, and find with a grip which it looks like you have, its easier to grab the top of the screen to pull out since the grip base gets in the way of the bottom of the screen. And I can't recommend more the RRS L-Bracket grip, with arch-swiss, QD port and great ergo. Yes if you keep the bluetooth off it saves a lot of battery. Don't leave in eco mode either. Also the thumb grips are very nice and Amazon has one for $100, much less than the Leica version and it works and looks exactly the same. I also see your left eye dominant as I am, do you find that difficult with the EVF on the far left of camera? You should check out Hudson Henry's ATS video's on setting up the 6 user profiles and FN buttons, gives you a good start and deep knowledge of all the menu items and functions, and he shares his settings files so you can use that to load your starting points. I've made changes from there for my own shooting and FN button setups. Enjoy! I know I will! :)
If I hadn't gotten my Q3 43 yesterday, I would have never known there was such a good channel out here. You've done a wonderful job of speaking out and presenting yourself and your photos. I really love the vibe and tone that you create. Greetings! Looking forward to your videos.
@@PatrickHKChen-qp2zx Hey, I appreciate that! How are you liking the Q3 43? I’m sure you’ll get some awesome shots with it. Happy holidays.
Yes, you have the touch!!! Keep it up!!
Nice work, glad I came by and subbed. Looking forward to more videos from you. I’ve been using the Q2 for about a year, and am about to add the M11p to my bag. Keeping the Q2 for now, as there is a lot to love about it.
Keep it up! Even general walk about day to day shooting videos are great in this style!
Hello, loved your video. i have bought also the Q3, just a question, do you use an protection filter?
@@tamerdurmus2662 Yes, I occasionally use a CineBloom mist filter by Moment!
This video much more helpful than the other quick review videos. Such as my country reviewers . I’m a Korean photographer who seriously considering to buy the Q3 😂. When I got my own Leica Q3 as first Leica then I will comeback here to reply on .
Hey, I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you do decide to get one yourself! It's a great camera.
Hi, in ‘live’ mode can you have a clear screen with no text or data shown? Thanks
Do people not actually have careers anymore?
Beautiful shots from my favorite photo place, Venice! I’m also a Q3 28 owner and I love it just as it is and while I’m still adjusting to its unique focal length, the Q3 43 came out and messed things up… I’d be curious to know your thoughts comparing the 28 with the 43 as a “do it all, go anywhere” compact camera for documenting travels, vacations, life as it happens. 🙂 Oh, btw, I think you can see the battery percentage in the Leica Fotos app when paired.
Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Beitrag. Ich fotografiere seit 40 Jahren und habe mir im letzen Jahr zusätzlich zu meiner Nikon die Q3 gegönnt. Das hat auch meinem Portemonnaie weh getan - ich habe den Schritt aber nie bereut und benutze die Nikon seitdem nur noch für Spezialfotografie wie Vögelaufnahmen oder Makros. Für alle anderen Zwecke reicht mir die Q3 aus, ich bin mit ihr in Paris und eben auch in Venedig gewesen und kann sagen: mehr als die Q3 braucht man für Streetfotos in Städten nicht.
The Q3 is such a beautiful camera and you did a wonderful job showing it off here! As an Army Vet, it's great to see those OCPs again lol
@@thomas_dries Thank you! It’s great to come across other creators who’ve served also!
I was also in Venice this year with my Q3. Since 2024 I have left my a7IV with all GM lenses at home. I have traveled to Venice, Barcelona, Lake Garda and most recently Thailand with the Q3. An incredibly great camera and I have never regretted buying it.
@@t87h21 Dude that’s awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Have you used its video capabilities yet?
@@documentprogress No, I haven't used the video functions yet. I only use the Q3 for photography.
@ Same here! I typically use Sony for video but have been curious about the Q3’s video capabilities since I’ve also mainly used it for photography. I’ll give it a try one of these days.
DINFOS Warrior!
@@bjohnson8059 Ahaha, not yet. It’s not my MOS!
Q2 in’s too long ….you could have just said…."I likey my Leica"
Great choice, 28mm is a beautiful focal length. I bought the first Q and it completely changed the way I work, all for good reasons.
Very nice photographs, And I guess there is something to be said about carrying a precison object in your baby hands though the streets of Venice.
The screen is easier to pull out if you start from the top (then tilt up from bottom, if you wish)
It's a great camera I love it so much for my photography. Enjoy it.
Great video! I also am a Sony shooter and just got the Q3. Loving it. Taking a trip to London soon and only taking the Leica. It is a gateway camera. SL3 in my future?
Thanks! Nice, have fun with it in London! I contemplated whether I should just swap all my Sony gear for Leica, but I love my Sony too much + the video capabilities are better in my opinion.
10:22 without a Leica you are always that guy 😂
Hmmm… going to Venice for a day… Must be Caserma Ederle :)
Nice video. Recommend heading north into Alto Adige to push the limits of that sensor with some landscape work. All the best, Sky Soldier!
Really enjoyed this video. Your cinematography is on point! I have an original Leica Q even though the megapixels are less it still has that lens. Looking forward to more great content.
We have the same background! I came from sony with my A7RIV and the 70-200. I then bought a leica Q3 and I'm in love with it. Great video
2:54 oh no 😂
Wonderful summary. I really look forward to following your journey!
Wow 300+ subs with only 5 videos nice! Great video I have the M11, I had to sell my Harley for it. Made a whole series on it if you feel like checking it out. Anyhow I subscribed because I like your calm pace and pictures, besides us small channels can benefit from supporting each other. The one with the boy by the doorway is my favorite. I’m actually on a year long commitment using the 28mm only. I thought of getting the Q3 but I don’t think it’s there yet for some of the reasons you mentioned on the video. All the best keep uploading!
beautiful pics! come back to vienna! i invite you to a coffee!! ;-)
That is so stupid camera🤮. Awfull in hands, expensive parts, and colours are stale from camera🤮👎. Video was good.
Your video, lighting of you and the scene, and the audio is on point. Great work. I enjoyed the video and b-roll.
@@themichaelevins I appreciate that!
Whaaaaaat i love this channel, why did i not know about this sooner!!! Instant sub! I also bought a q3 about 6 months back and absolutely love it. Thinking of adding a q3 43 but ugh that pricetag is no joke. Love all your images and cannot wait to see more!!🎉
I have the Q2 and M262 which i use mostly with a zeiss 35mm lens and its like using a camera instead of a computer for me which i like.
Great job awesome color grading great information. We would like to hire you once you get out of the military to head our new social media content creation department. keep up the great work we will be in touch
Got my 1st Leica the Q3 last yr for our Euro trip..loved it so much i neglected my A7R5 … trying to use my Sony more often now for our Japan trip
It’s like that! I notice that with more outdoorsy trips, the Sony A7 series is great and I like to pretend I’m a National Geographic photographer for 2 days 😂 I love getting nature/animal shots with it. Meanwhile for city/street, the Q3 would be my pick out of the two.
Leica gang😊
Nicely done!
Nice work and thank you for your service, from an old veteran-1970-1971 US Army.
Thank you for your support and likewise! That’s awesome. Some close family of mine served in the late ‘60s, Vietnam, as well.
Veterans supporting each other is a key in society. Veteran as well here! And she did amazing
Nice work!
Cracking video - really enjoyed this! Really great photos and you're a great speaker. Look forward to seeing more!
@@willhdolan Thanks! I’m still quite new to talking to the camera so that means a lot!
Really incredible video. Loved the relaxed pacing and delivery. Thanks for putting good stuff like this out there!
Wonderful photography and videography. Love your overall aesthetic including your choice of elegant music. I recently purchased the Q3 28mm and questioned my choice after the Q3 43mm was released, but after watching this video all my doubts of the 28mm have been assuaged. I just need to go out and shoot 🙂
@@simonsharky3880 I’m glad you’re enjoying the Q3 and sticking with the 28mm! I also had the same thought when the Q343 came out as I’d love to have that 50mm on me. But the 28mm is definitely a unique experience of its own and I’m learning a lot with it so I’d say it’s worth keeping!
the 43 is what the eye sees. much better for street. 28 is just too wide IMHO
Great video! Love my q3 too! The more I use it, the more I love it 🙏🏼 love the colors too, do you use some presets? Thank you
Spends over 5000 on a camera, but a $200 battery is questionable 😂😂
@@MrSdbmgarcia Well, you have a point 😂😅
thats leica for you, but you do get what you pay for with leica!
This video was much more than a camera review. Immediate sub and looking forward to more of your videos. Beautifully done.
Me too!!
Beautiful shots. I own q2 and seeing what q3 can do makes me upgrade but it’s too expensive. Maybe one day 😊
@@BTNFILM Thanks! I’ve heard great things about the Q2 as well!
@ I still love it.
She has been very faithful 😂
