Waiting for the Bus


GRD, f2.4, 1/160, ISO 400, JPG b&w

No camera produces b&w images quite like the GRD I, it is quite unique and this is partly what makes the GRD I special and why in my pinion it still stands out between all the small sensor compacts and why I would recommend it over any of the newer GRDs.

  1. Amazing this is an ISO 400 JPG. Have you done any PP at all?

  2. Another great shot. Such a nice contrast from whites to blacks. As Old 57 said, is this a straight jpeg? If so, I must get myself an original GRD!

  3. Thanks for your comments!

    I only shoot the GRD I in JPG mode and don't bother with the RAW due to the long write time of 13 seconds. When I shoot b&w I either set the camera at ISO 400 or ISO 1600 and do no other processing to the images. This is the reason I like the GRD I so much and despite it's age still consider it the best small sensor camera.

  4. Yeah it is so impressive with it's 'straight out of the camera' JPGs. I just wish mine still worked :(

  5. Thanks for your comment Bill!

    It's a shame your GRD I does not work anymore as it's a fantastic camera but it was never the most reliable one.
