Running Into

R1231664L (Camera: Ricoh GX200)

Whether you are just running into this place, or a long-time reader, this is a note of thanks for your visiting.

Just because the length of the posts has been shorter in recent months, doesn't mean that the author is losing interest in photography or posting. The truth is quite the opposite. It is exactly because of the passion in both that even though the the author has been in the throes of busyness, the posting has continued without a break. The world is constantly under the observation of his cameras.

Our poll just closed reveals the reasons for love of photography among the however small number of voters are mostly to observe the world and to use different cameras.

After having tried over a dozen of new cameras in the past year, the author has great reservation over the second commonly voted reason -- to use different cameras. It is safe to say that using any camera virtually has nothing to do with doing intriguing shots.

Keep coming and see the reality of this side of the world unfolding to the cameras. This week, the theme is on some common scenes you would probably pass by and ignore in a city.  But these scenes can make interesting final images too. The difference is made in the observing, with your heart.

Again, thank you for visiting.

Mini Review of GRD II by Colin Bradbury

Today, we are going to learn some useful insights from Colin Bradbury in his mini review of the GRD II. Colin is a professional photographer stationed in Hong Kong. Photos are copyrighted to him. (St Agnes, Cornwall. 'Environmental' portrait) By COLIN BRADBURY: Just back from 2 weeks in rural England with the family over Christmas. Since this was a family holiday and not a photography trip I wanted to travel light. On that basis I left my DSLRs at home and took the GRDII as my only camera to save weight but also to see how useful it would be as the only camera in a variety of photographic situations. I have to say I was very pleased with it and didn't miss having a zoom or longer lens at all. The 28mm is a perfect single focal length and proved itself useful in a variety of situations. Landscapes are clearly well suited to the 28mm but less obviously I have also found it to be great for portraits. With a 28mm you are forced to do 2 things. First, to get in closer ...

Respite

(Ricoh GRD4) Yahoo! I found the invoice for the GRD4 and sent it to the dealer for repairing the malfunctioning manual focus, which rendered the snap mode totally useless.  I hope it will be soon for the GRD4 to be up and about.
