Thread: Fun with Ricoh GRD

Love these two . Great images !

Not exactly fun with the GRD, but a short visit to a cemetery resulted in these two shots.
The weather was bright and sunny, though the high contrast B&W mode gave them atmosphere.

Especially like the like on the second one.

Space daisies ;)
GRD3

The chance came up to see the Peppercorn class A1 60163 Tornado Steam locomotive as it headed south from Carlisle, down through the Eden valley.
A new locomotive, finished in 2008, and first pulled passengers in 2009.
The long lenses were out in force along the length of the line, and i suspect some great shots were bagged.
I did not see my GRD's wide angle as a limitation though. I knew of a vantage point where i would be alone, and where i could capture a nice portion
of the Cumbrian countryside also.
As always, my habit of editing to death seems to be the way i like them.
Hope you like it too. Cheers

Ripleysbaby: Stunning photo! Love the composition and colors.

I agree. compo and processing.

Mostly i am loving the GRD4. But I cant remember the edges looking this deformed/smeared on my past XZ-1 and LX5
Or is it that the GRD jut dont like foliage ? Bleach bypass shows it up, but its visible in all image settings. It looks like motion blur

Love it, love the processing and you're right, the GRD was no limitation.
