Parked Up Front

GRD, f2.4, 1/8, ISO 1600, JPG b&w

Took this on my way home today. It is a picture that does not really work as expected and is actually pretty boring. I still decided to post it since it helps to learn from failed attempts. Actualy, this could work well as a theme for one week. Posting pictures that didn't work as expected and trying to figure out what is missing if anything or are these just bad pictures and deserve to be deleted.
What remains is a ISO 1600 picture pushed one stop to ISO 3200 so it shows what the GRD can deliver under more difficult conditions. I cropped it to 1:1 since it works better like this.

  1. I agree you learn more from knowing why a picture failed than from admiring a good picture.

  2. You are right yesbuts. You learn most by discussing why a picture does not work and getting feedback from others.

  3. And at the same time I did these shots in Valletta Malta with a GX100.
    Being a photographer for 22 years my GX100 is just like getting back to the good old days of B+W photography...
    And great blog you got!!!

  4. Thanks for your comment Nikolai!
    Really enjoyed your pictures from Valletta. The Ricoh cameras are great at b&w and a joy to use.
