Well, I think it is finally time for another street photography episode.
The weather in Melbourne wasn't that great but at night it doesn't matter
if it's sunny of not. 😁 Last time I was in Melbourne I shot an episode with the Leica Q and this time I brought the Leica Q2 Monochrom to do exactly what I did four yeas prior.
See you soon in the next one!

    Great video. Videos like this one convinced me to buy the q2 monochrom and I have to say it has not let me down. But as you can see indeed on this video, it's magic at night. But with aperture so wide open as per your settings, would've expected a more shallow depth of field. Kudos on the motorcyclists woah such a great shot.

    Hi Robin, sorry I missed you. I frequent the same streets in Melbourne too. Would be great to catch up one day. I do travel regularly and know a lot of great places around Australia. It's a pity the guys in the Leica stores in the Melbourne CBD and Chadstone are so offputting, I'd have another Leica in my arsenal but that won't happen from a local store. Love your pics and edits, great work.

    I just ordered a Q2 Monochrom. I would have to say, this video was the most influential of all that I watched. Seeing how absolutely stellar the photos are with extremely poor lighting is very encouraging. Though, I could see you sometimes camped out next to a light source to get a little more to work with.

    Also Melbourne is a very social city, there is A LOT going on no matter the time of the week. So weather or not, it will always be busy with things to see or places to go. Especially on a Friday night where people are leaving work and going to events.

    Great video Robin! Melbourne is as close to a european city as it comes in comparison to other Australian cities. As mentioned before, four seasons in one day here, so regardless of the season it can be rainy, sunshine, blizzard or heatwave. A little frustrating planning shoots on location here in Melbourne as a working photographer. Cool to see my own city in your channel. Safe travels to Singapore and onwards.

    Awesome video, thanks a lot for sharing! I stepped into b/w photography for a few months now and these true monochrome cameras, specially the Q2 got me extremely curious to get one, but that price :D Did you share any RAW files in your past videos of the Q2 Mono? I currently use the A7IV + X100V and I'm on the fence, if I should try it out. These true low light performance is just intriguing :D Danke und Grüße aus BaWü :)

    what i like most about your stlye of shooting is the speed with which you realize and act upon scenes! The guy with the cigarette is a prime example of this. I would surely have fumbled the focus in that situation or be too greedy and shoot too early. Were you able to help out the skate photographer?

    Hi Robin... thanks for your great video... always enjoyed watching it.... I have a question for you... I just bought a Leica Q2 and It seems like I'm having an issue using it.. basically my setting are iso on auto with and minimum of 200 and not above 3200. The shutter speed and aperture are manual. I've set the back dial to exposure compensation... The problem is if i dialed the back dial for under exposed or over exposed i can't really see the live view for exposure composition on the back screen and l'm only able to see the outcome of the composition if i press half shutter button. It's quite annoying because each time i wanna check the right composition i have to press half shutter button. Is there anyway we can see the live view exposure composition without pressing the half shutter button. Thanks in advance

    Is it because 28mm is wide so you don’t need to point at people, so they don’t know you were shooting at them? I find most of the people don’t seem to look at your camera that rarely happen to me when I go on the streets.
