Took these a month ago so forget the settings. Using the Ricoh GR iiix. Either right down the close focus end or macro. As ever I was just piddling aboutwith no thought to the end game or if I would do anything the shots. Used too slow a shutter on reflection. Hand held. Bit of motion blur. Bit of missed focus as breathing. So minor movement in and out. So no pin sharp shots. But hey.
Out with the Ricoh GR iiix again. Have to say really liking the 40mm perspective. Bit of filter work, bit of close up, but not macro. Depth of field play.

I ended the year as I began. a purist.
Ye old colour version
In this little post we have a pics from a vintage shop, a walk home and some atmospheric conditions. all shot on the Ricoh Gr iiix
I was going to convert the raw files on the laptop, but the battery had died, so unusually I moved the files on to the phone and converted the raw files in snapspeed and then moved them to the cloud and finally here.
Only a few in this post, but here we go.
The fire exit sign tells us we are inside. Complete with growing foliage. Not your average fire door.
We have moved from the street, which I seem to be spending less and less time on, to the kitchen.
Impromptu, studio set up. 2 Place matts, a pair of Dr Marten cherry red - Ox blood shoes, a cheap ring light mounted on a Bendow tripod and the GR iiix used in both normal and macro.
No OCD here.
Still very much the new toy, so out with the Ricoh GR iiix today. Still less than a week old to me, but really getting the 40mm.
Just like all the other GR series. So pocketable, no excuse not to have a cam with you, even just going to the shops.
Ever since I heard about the Ricoh GR iiix, I knew I would end up having one. Having had all the other digital versions, it was only a matter of time.
Well I now have one. This is only the second day of ownership and wow, I like it, I like it a lot.
The decision to go with 40mm. Inspired. In this format it really does seem to match what the eye see's.
Despite everything else being the same, the new lens has somehow raised the bar.
I do not say this lightly, but the images coming out of this little camera are very Leica Q2 like. One of those things where the sum is greater than the parts. Maybe it's just me, and new purchase bias. But there is more going on here than just a GR iii and a different lens.
