G'day.
Heres a few of my first GR shots...still a few minor issues to figure out and I still need time before I instinctively know where what is, first day out was a bit of
a repetitious stop-start cycle and kinda lost a fair few shots, but the camera feels 'right'.....perhaps more right than anything I've used before, such a joy in
fact that even an admittedly 'dyed in the wool' EVF shooter like myself is actually having blast using the LCD. I'm still in a buzz at how good this camera
feels to the touch....a reassuring heft but a texture that is both soft and grippy. Whatever the particular rubber skin they've put on this the Ricoh engineers
deserve a big pat on the back. Another thing, man it's so freakin' liberating having such a capable camera that fits neatly and unnoticed either by bulk
or by weight in a coat or pants pocket....no need for neck straps, shoulder bags or sling packs of any sort. For a few weeks I was giving a lot of consideration
to possibly getting an e-pm2 and parking my P14 on it as my super small go anywhere anytime combo.....so glad I opted for the GR.

This was shot at ISO25600...not on purpose mind you, simply a consequence of not having a handle on the inner workings of the camera yet.
ISO25600 and probably about half the frame cropped out and I think I still managed to salvage something of a shot.....quite happy all things considered.

This was shot wide open, when I viewed it at full size on my screen at home it was a real WOW moment. SO much detail...early days yet but I'm super
impressed so far with this diminutive little camera and lens. I've got a fair way to go before I'm able to extract the very best from it but I'm thrilled so far.
