NGA Canberra Urs Fischer Francesco Day 168

Went up a mountain in Snowdonia, pictures were taken. Was a rubbish day for them! Very strange light most of the time, sunny behind thin cloud, so there was quite a harsh brightness most of the time but also the horizon was mostly obscured. The views in person (Aran Fawddwy) were great though.

Spoiler: Case in point

Picked up a Ricoh GR3 today, IBIS is pretty handy (settings for this were f2.8, iso1000, 1/6s)

Are you getting those B&W results as jpeg straight out of camera?

Have you had time to get a feel for the SOOC colour files? I've been debating the GR3 (or the GR2 as I'd prefer to have the option of a fill flash on ocassion), but I'm worried they won't live up to the jpeg colours of my (1st gen) Fuji X100...

Btw, here's an old B&W from the Fuji (from a Swedish lake), which I don't remember if I've posted here before:

More or less, I usually transfer them straight to my phone and tweak em a little in Lightroom, but the general look is pretty close to the original pictures taken with the BW high contrast mode. I also haven't even had it for a week yet and the weather has been impressively grey, bleak and dark so I've barely bothered shooting any color at all so far. Will be going to Portugal next week though which should be significantly brighter, so I might be able to give a better answer then

Here are a few more favorites from the past few days:

I had been meaning to post in this thread. Started playing with film. It's been a fun learning process so far.

Fujifilm Superia 400

Shanghai GP3 100

 

[LonerMatt]

Did you cook that Shanghai film lad? That is an intense grain structure.

 

[Rais]

Expired cheap film and a plastic lens on an automatic point and shoot have something to do with it, I'd guess. Nothing intentional, I think that was the 4th film photo I've ever taken.

After nearly a decade of only shooting with a single camera with 35mm equivalent fixed lens, it's been nice to play around with a new camera. Also with a fixed lens, but this one is 28mm. I prefer not to do any post-processing and I'm quite happy with especially the B&W with this one. Some straight out of camera examples, only resized

A splash of colour

And a macro shot, using the 50mm in-camera crop function

Not much going on in this thread lately, so since I'm still playing around with the new camera, here's a bunch of walking around test shots to bore anybody who wanders in here. Probably way too many for one post, but I'll spoiler them all for convenient scroll-over'ness.

and finally, some bokeh and a little grain (I'm so sorry) :

Extremely satisfied with the quality I'm getting (though I'm not sure if it translates here with whatever resizing is going on). Also still happy with the black and white, but even though the colours are pretty nice, I do miss the option to change them for different looks in-camera, like on the Fuji.

Everything is still straight out of camera, comments and critique is very welcome.

^Some nice pics. Would be good to see this thread pick up again. I'm trying to get back into photography (although I never did get too far into it in the first place).

Still using my Nikon d3200 entry level dslr, here's some I took last month, they were shot in raw and I might have tweaked the white balance a bit or something but that's all.
