5 from the Meetup Walk

This is a series with some pictures I took during the photo walks that did not fit in yesterday's post.
All are JPGs out of the camera and except from the 1st one taken with the Nokton f1.4 35mm lens, all have been processed on my Asus Transfrmer using Pixlr-o-matic.

We had the first London Ricoh Meet-up today. It was very nice to meet people you only talk to in forums and have a chat. We talked about cameras, printers but mainly about photography and pictures, something that comes quite short in most forums. It was very interesting since we had a wide range of Ricoh cameras. We had the GR1, GX8, GRD I, GX100, GRD II and GX200 but also the Sony R1 and Epson RD1s. It was good to get some hands on with these cameras.
The best bit was then going for a walk in the British museum just before closing time. This was the first time I did this and a great experience. While most exhibitions are closed, the main hall is almost empty. The light was great and we were walking around takig pictures, each with his own cameras of choice. Next time we will have to swap cameras and see how we get along :).
Afterwards we went for dinner and had a look at each other's pictures. This was very interesting to see the differences but also similarities in the pictures taken. The great thing about walking around with people and taking pictures of a place is that you get to see things from a different prespective but also the similarities between some pictures.

Unfortunatelly I forgot to take a picture of the table with all the cameras so will have to remember for next time. Here are two of the pictures I took in the museum, more can be found on Flickr.

GX100, f3.5, 1/10, ISO 400, RAW, 50mm

After using the GRD I for the last week I wanted a change today so decided to use the GX100. It is a great camera as I mentioned before and produces better jpgs than the GRD II but is not as good as the GRD I.
The weather was really bad today and it rained almost the whole day so I decided to go to the British museum and take some pictures there. I took a few but liked this most, it is abstract and the colors and details came out very well. The image stabilizer worked very well here although I find that the GRDs without are actually better due to the faster lens so you can use the same shutter speed.
