You've been GR'D!

[benji77]

Hi all

I am a new GRD4 owner as I bought my first copy 3 days ago
It is an intuitive camera, and I have yet to get the hang of it in tweaking the B&W to the settings I want. Its more difficult than I thought to use a Point & Shoot

Anyway, I'd like for this thread to showcase shots from around the world using a GRD. Any GRD!

Please feel free to add in your shots to this thread

Hi and congratulations on the GRD IV.
This whole site is dedicated to Ricoh and GRD images.
I would not say the GRD is a "Point & Shoot", more that its a fixed lens professional camera that has a Point & Shoot mode.

A few nice grabs, I like #1

Thank you for the feedback on the shots Tim, much appreciated.

Tim, could you show me the Point & Shoot mode. My wife would love to use my GRD4 but thinks it's too difficult.
I'm not being silly but serious. I never found that mode.

Well, you've got me there a bit, but I guess if you go Pattern Metering in Program mode with Snap Focus set for Infinity etc, always Pop the Flash left in Auto... you get my drift... it would go close.
You could dial it into a MY mode (except the flash) and tell her to just leave it there. Use the power and shutter buttons
Thats the beauty of the GRD is it can be "programmed" to emulate many setups.

It would not nail the image every time I suppose but then neither does a true P&S either.

BTW: I loooove the spiral staircase, groovy colours and great framing.

Geeze Tim, after all that I guess the GRD4 doesn't make a good point & shoot after all.

Yes, yes, the green-cyan staircase is it. I like it, too.
Having nothing to add to the P&S GRD theme, though.

You are getting along very well with the GRD. I like the closer look you have on people, structures and things. I would like to call them walk around pictures. Thats not meant negatively!

Thank you for the feedback 123tel! Yeah you are right about the 'walk around' term. I never thought about them that way, and maybe I should.
Its Day 8 with my GRD4, and I have gotten to know it much better.
I have found a preferred setting for the B&W, while the Bleach Bypass is wonderful to have on MY3

All very nice pictures Benji, my favorite is the one of the stairs.

 

[benji77]

Thank you Gab for the compliment
I admire how some users here have a really good eye for graphics, which I am still far away in that league

I think that your whole set of images really do convey an atmosphere of the place where you live. I think this kind of 'walk-about' photography can work well when it starts to build a whole picture and give an impression of local life and happenings. Nice work.
