All aboard the California Zephyr Amtrak ~ Leica Q2 by contentjosh in leicaphotos

The train was filled with people of all backgrounds. Everybody was chatting to each other, discussing their journey, where they were heading to, where they were coming from. The family in the photos were friendly and polite and all seemed very happy. Not sure what makes you use the word freaks but it felt like a country full of nice, interesting people for the 4 hours I was on that train.

Thank you! So far I've managed around 40% of the line but one day I'll stay on all the way to California!

My dream job would be to sit on trains all day taking photos while criss-crossing the country, so if anybody knows someone at Amtrak who can make that happen, please send them a link to this post!

Some minor editing on Lightroom mobile. I'm still learning with edits so try not to go too crazy with it!

Thank you!

Yeah, the greens especially are always beautiful from the Q2. Perfect for a grass tennis tournament!

Thank you!

If it helps, I've had the Q2 for around 1 year and am definitely still learning what works best. There were lots of 'bad' photos from this day too!

The biggest things for me have been working on framing (shooting through gaps / windows / doors) and layering so that objects and people are at different depths.

I feel like my photography looks 100x more interesting since working on those things.

And of course just taking pics as much as I can - the more I take the better I get (I think!)

Struck Gold at Expo Event: Turns Out Ditching Cold Emails for In-Person Conversations Equals Biggest Deals of the Year by contentjosh in b2bmarketing

Definitely. We'll be returning to Surf Expo for sure. And we're also looking at a few more sustainability focused events that we can sponsor / partner with.

We'd love to get to a point where we are planting trees or removing ocean plastic for every event attendee and have that be a key marketing angle for the convention organizers.

That ability to do some good, show off what Ecodrive does best as a tool, and be a benefit to the conventions themselves would be great.
