Now that the GRDIII is piling up in shops for sale, the Japanese photograph compatriots are coming up with photos on the Internet.  Besdies the useful links put up by Pavel of ricohforum.com, the following tables should make good reference for you fellows who are inquisitive, puzzled or ticklish at every new camera.

Reference Shots

The first table  mainly shows photos taken with the GRDIII at f1.9 and/or high ISO (some shots are of the same scene at various ISOs).  The photos are at reduced size but give an idea of how the new camera performs in these two areas:

Aperture full open f1.9 1/3s (f2.8  1/2s;  f4  1s;  f5.6  2s;  f8  3s; f9 4s)
  f1.9  1/20s at ISO 100 (f1.9  1/50s at ISO 200)
  f1.9  1/270s at ISO64 (f2.5  1/143s at ISO64)
   
  f1.9  1/15s at ISO 154
High ISO f1.9  1/1000s at ISO400
  f1.9  1/48s at ISO400
  f1.9  1/32s at ISO 383
  f1.9  1/39s at ISO400
   
Good reference shots at other values
f5.6  1/500s at ISO 64
  f4  1/250s at ISO64
  f5.6  1/500s at ISo100
  f5.6  1/640s at ISO100
   

 

Comparative shots

The following table puts together photos of the same night scene.  The CX1 is included to give an idea of how the two most recent cameras from Ricoh compare with each other.  And how GRDIII fares as  compared with E-P1 and DPs at high ISO IQ?

A Real Hero

By
(Grip On Reality: This photo was taken on my way to work.  I was walking past trucks parking on a cul-de-sac when the ropes caught my attention.  The light was right, the colour was right and the criss-crossing pattern was perfect and I held up my GX200.  People passing by checked me out and wondered what could be made out of such a boring scene.  To me, the fun in photography is that the photographer makes something interesting out of what is not obvious to most at the scene.  The ropes tied in knots somehow reminded people I know who are in the grip of the recession) You must have also known a friend or two, or even yourself, being baffled by the spiral downturn of the economy.   Bank went bankrupt and the rich was faced with a shrinking wealth.  A friend of mine has just had his salary cut by over 10% and some of his colleagues started to be shed. But, wait. Was this done really for the sake of continuing the business? Or is there a factor or greed in it?  I wonder whether the

New Low Prices

By
The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only): GX200 = $3,280 GRD2 = $3,380 LX3 = $3,180 G10 = $3,280 Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.   Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).

Eye Contact

By
(Leica D-lux 5) The digital era may make it easier to end up with fave shots. Even lousy photos may be turned likable after a few clicks in the post-processing workflow. But if digital advancement or amendments have any bearing on the cultivation of personal style, no photographers will need to discover his or her own photographer’s eye. Undoutedly, this is out of the question. Only with a trained photographer’s eye can we give a thinking gaze and capture an eternal moment, in our unique style. Style is the soul of a great photo. A few posts have been written in GXG to touch on the topic of photographer’s eye. Instead of finding an answer, which would require academic discussions, the posts are intended to give my general reflections and spark interests in moving towards further exploration of the topic.  The posts can be viewed after the links: 1) Photographer's Eye: Storytelling 2) Photographer's Eye: Little Show of Observing 3) Photographer's Eye: Sight-Worthy 4
