Hey everyone, this isn't a Milan photo, I was going to post one a day this week but I was playing around with my new little camera, the Ricoh GRD IV and this is one of the first images I took with it. I have to admit I didn't like the image when I looked at the back of the LCD but after I imported it and worked on it a little, I like it. This is going to be my going to and from work camera, being that the Nikon is a little too big for buses and tube stations. On the weekend I plan to have both, because I need to shoot the Ricoh if I want to get a handle on it. Tomorrow will be Milan photos =)... I didn't take a lot of photos in Milan because it was so cold and everyone looked the same in there big jackets .... but I do have a few to show.
A real candid portret. Looks good.
ReplyDeleteGood close up with the GRD, Gerry. Looking forward to the GRD trio getting out for our next photo shoot so we can get GRD tips from Bill and advance our proficiency with the new camera. Look forward to seeing the Milan shots.
ReplyDeletenice! looking forward to the milan series!
ReplyDeleteExcellent first shot. You got the exposure working well for you.
ReplyDeleteDid you just turn around in your seat and shoot? You couldn't do that with your noisey Nikon lol
I like this a lot, Gerry - Like your other bus shot from a while back, I love how you got the outside world into the frame, giving us a greater sense of place while emphasizes the subject. Tough lighting too, but you got the shadows and highlights without the noise.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone ..... if it wasnt for the GRD this photo would have been very hard, he was listening to his headphones but as big as the Nikon is, Im sure he would have noticed me picking it up. I was sitting to his right and in front of him so very easy shot to take.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike and there was noise I used lightroom to lower it a little.
