Pentax Q + Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX + Mount Washington Auto Road + iPad + Snapseed = Awesome.
Took the Q on its second big trip, this time to the mountains and countryside of Vermont and New Hampshire. It’s second nature to hang it around my neck and snap photos while on the road. The Apple iPad with the Snapseed app is a great quick mobile editing solution. I’ve posted this photo and others to the magazine’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/RoadRUNNERmag) and get dozens of likes and comments.
This photo has been heavily altered in Snapseed, but the original file is quite good to begin here. Here’s a situation where plenty of DOF is nice to have – when you’re standing on the footpegs of a 150 horsepower motorcycle (Ducati Multistrada 1200S) while steering and controlling the throttle with your right hand, all mere feet from a precipice.
The Q has most definitely earned a place in my bag.
