Went to the Perth Zoo today with the family; giving me the opportunity to take my nifty little Pentax Q and 06 telephoto lens with me.

For those that aren’t familiar with the camera, it’s a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. However, unlike most others which have large camera sensors; this one has a tiny sensor you would typically find in a point-and-shoot camera. This gives it a benefit of being so small it can fit in my waist pack.

As a result, a fair few people dismiss this camera as a toy. However it has found a cult following among some of us that appreciate its tiny size and excellent quality.

Here are a couple of my favourite shots of the day. Note: I did use the remove tool in Lightroom to remove a distracting fence in the emu photo below, the remaining photos had basic exposure and noise reduction edits.
