Sitll some good experiences with the Ricoh GR!

here is a backlit shot, when I saw the scene, I just asked him not to move and got the GR out of my pocket…
Of course I could have largely opened up the shadows in LR, there are plenty details there, but they are not interesting and I like the centered focus of light…

And here is the Saint-André Cathedral in Bordeaux.

Nicolas,

This is fabulous and impressive! Amazing to me that you chose to use ISO 200 and 1 sec exposure. Was this resting on a wall or handheld? I have taken 1 sec pics handheld with the Ricoh GR and gotten good results too.

Hi Asher
When I can I always prefer to use low ISO…
The camera was resting n a pole but largely on the side of the cathedral.
There is a lot of perspective correction done in LR.


thanks for looking!

Bonjour Nicolas,

I'm sorry for the late reaction. But I've liked these a lot, especially the portrait of Romain. You did well by not opening the shadows indeed. And the cathedral details are excellent.

Hey Nicolas, I love how the GR has rendered the flare in your 'street' photograph. The light looks like it's reflected, if so that is some reflection indeed...:)

Hi Paul
The GR (as do the 645 D ; ) does very well backlit.
In the case of the first pic here, this is not a reflection but direct light from Sun : D

What you see above the light is a drugstore sign...
Maybe that together with the trees on the right and the building on the left the sign did act as a diaphragm ?
