GRD, TIFF text

After my film week, I decided to take my GRD I out again and take some pictures. I did not want to take any color pictures though and decided that b&w would be best for today, even better was the text mode however. I really like what you can get out of it and together with the audio recording mode it is the best scene mode you can find in any camera. I hope the new Ricoh cameras will all keep the text mode and bring back the audio recording mode.
I am actually thining of having a whole week dedicated to the text mode.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 7

"NYC Library" - GR1, ISO 200

The GR1 week is over and I finished one color film and am halfway through a b&w film. This time I enjoyed the experience a lot more although I still can't be really happy with film since it's such a limited medium. I missed some shots in the last days because I had only b&w film in the camera and the pictures would have only worked in color. Or the ability to change the ISO and be flexible is also something I miss with film. On the other hand I can't wait to see my pictures once they are developed so this is quite a nice experience.
I posted mostly pictures from two films this week because I don't have all films scanned yet so could not post some of my b&w pictures I took with the GR1.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 6

"Hare Krishna" - GR1, ISO 200

Took this picture on the same day as my last entry. This was a situation where a 40mm lens would have been better. Most of the time having a fixed wideangle lens is great and it gives you the flexibility you need but sometimes a 40mm or 85mm lens are nice to get a bit closer to things.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 5

"Pedestrians" - GR1, ISO 200

Took this picture on a rainy day in London when I decided to shoot full roll of film. The weather was not great but the GR1 performed nicely.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 4

"Flatiron" - GR1, ISO 200

Another picture taken in NYC, this is one of my favorite buildings. I really like the shape of it and the fact taht it's a brick building. There is something really cool about brick buildings.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 3

"Police Line Do Not Cross" - GR1, ISO 200

Continuing the police and security series from FRiday and yesterday it's another related picture. Took this during my last GR1 week but did not post it then.
Yesterday evening I already finished one ISO 200 color film in the GR1 and have replaced it with a ISO 125 b&w film, not as fast as I would like but should give some nice b&w tones. Can't wait to see it developed.

GR1 Week 2 - Day 2

"NY Security" - GR1, ISO 200

Took this picture while on holiday in NYC. These guys were not very happy with me taking a photo. ;)
