Ricoh The Unofficial Unauthorized GRD3 International Street Thread

[Ray Sachs]

Norman, now that I see that series of three on a full size screen I can see what's going on in the third a lot better, and I like it even more. Very cool shot both in terms of the juxtapositions, the composition, the clarity of the image, LOTS of stuff working there. And I like this newer "gritty" series as well, particularly the last of the young woman with a cigarette.

Dorf, nice first go at street shooting. You have the idea, now you just have to get CLOSER!!!

Here are a couple of GRD3 shots I sort of overlooked when posting my Seattle shots from a couple weeks ago. I shot mostly with the EP3 on that trip but I pulled out the GRD3 on a couple of walks as well.

Thanks Ray. I like all of your shots here but my fave is the last one. Those tatoos and that girls hair look really good. The angle and POV work well too - as does the colour..

No people in this street shot. My first attempts at shooting with the GRD3 at night. I got very lucky with this shot. I never even noticed the illusion that a giant is looking in from the rear.

Great shots, everyone. Even before these posts, all the previous discussion about Ricoh's GRD series convinced me to join in the fun. I've pre-ordered the GRD IV. Can I post here when it arrives or do I have to start a separate GRD IV thread??? LOL

These are great.

 

[Ray Sachs]

Michael, I've been following these on Flickr as they come along. I can almost always guess which are from the GRD3. Great work, as always!

Great set Michael.

 

[Ghosthunter]

What he said above ^^^^ Great Set!!

Some of my first grd3 street shots

this GRD3 is an astonishing camera (in my limited experience and technical knowledge). The following were taken on a dull overcast morning at ISO 64 at f1.9, 1/1000 sec using the "snap" function. More than acceptably sharp from centre out, clean photos too. Ray was first to spot this....I am just confirming.

Local town of Ingatestone, Essex part of the greater Brentwood which lies to the east of London (Commuter town)

And one from today.

Rock and roll wannabe! Young kid doing his stuff outside Cash Converters in Chelmsford...much to his parents annoyance as they hurried along doing their saturday shopping.

Michael. Just seen your last set. Absolutely, brilliantly executed and processed. Love them all......but in particular #2. the mood, the lighting, textures, reflections the rainy haze. Stunning capture.

 

[Petach]

This was my 1st ever shot with the GRD3......taken within seconds of leaving the camera shop. Still messing about with settings and learning it's capabilities. I like to think I have improved since buying it!

Messing with settings.
I took the grd into my local town this afternoon after tinkering with the settings. The sun was low when I took this street shot with high contrast settings. I am amazed it kept any facial details at all!

These aren't really street - one is sort of - but they're a couple of shots I just noticed and processed from the same Atlantic City set I put up early in this thread from this past July. Both GRD3 at ISO400
