BW preset, ISO 400 on the original version.
Honestly man, this camera is a point and shoot. Don't worry about the technicalities so much and just go and shoot the thing.
Some other with the Dimage EX wide 28mm f1.9 Probably a failure of concept for Minolta but a winner for me, which looked for camera that could produce film-like ooc output and this model certainly have a distinctive output I think.
While I of course prefer the handling of the Grd1 which can be film-like as well I have to say that I prefer the image-quality from this Minolta as well. Not very expensive on the used market but this Wide-module was very hard to find and I had to wait some months until one showed up on Ebay.
Always wondered what the Wide-module was like after having read Phil Askey's review of the zoom-module and also got a used one for myself.
Ricoh 400G wide, based on the G4 Wide. A rare model which I bought used as I needed a camera which I can dip into the water. How extremely silent and stealthy it is came as a surprise though and makes it very good for street photography which I've begun to practice. Even more stealthy since I opened it up and removed that not so discreet silver-ring from the front of the zoom-ring.
People don't know however it is turned on or not as the zoom i covered by the rugged shell. I've found a way to hold it so that I easily can put it up at waist level and snap a shot or hold it vertically with only one hand without the need to re-grip it.
Yes, exactly, not a clue here that this is a rural area 2-1/2 hours drive to the south of Bangkok. There are so many waya to do the contrast and gradation on a picture with this type of light: oroigainally I went for an overally darker look with the fourth-quarter tones taking a much smaller area, but then decided to let the highlights really take over the foreground to give the blinding effect of the light that was really there anf not worry about the blowout. The series below my signature is from the same area and the folloing picture is from the outskirts of a beach resort towm nearrby:
As always there's great photos to be seen in this thread! Really liklng your stuff, wojtek. Here is my first contribution in a while, some photographs from my midsummers eve:
All with GRD III, shot in RAW at either ISO 1600 or 800 all at f/1.9, processed with SilverEfex Pro.
Just received the camers at work, and it awesome. I knew it was small but smaller than what I expected. Now to figure this thing out and the "MY" settings. Can't wait till the viewfinder and lens adapter get here.
Last week my GRD III arrived and I took it with me on a trip to Austria visiting power plants with our engineering class. Its such a great sophisticated camera, but nevertheless easy to use.
Here are some examples from my new blog I've decided to start:
