Sunday Afternoon Game

CX1, f4.5, 1/620, ISO 80, JPG, 74mm

Sometimes photography is 'only' about being in the right place at the right time and having a camera ready. This picture is one such an example. I am glad I had the CX1 with me and that it was ready to take the picture fast, only a split second later and the light was gone.
The CX1 captured the light and colors prefectly. This is taken in the normal mode and not using the DR mode, still the dynamic range is pretty good.
Still, looking at this picture I no doubt wish that the CX1 would offer a RAW mode or less processed JPGs, too much noise reduction is being appilied and Ricoh really needs to sort this out.

DUDs

LC1, f2.4, 1/1000, ISO 100, RAW, 90mm

Been out for a walk around Greenwich park today and decided to try out the close-up lens for the LC1. It is nice but does not come close to the great macro capabilities of the Ricohs and the focus is more a hit and miss and very slow. I got a few quite nice pictures nonetheless. Yes, they are boring flower macros and this is why I won't post them here. Instead I post a picture of a typical British sport that I don't understand at all. England invented it and won all matches till other countries figured it out. Yes, I am taking about Cricket ;).
Cropped the picture to the 16:9 format since I composed the picture with this format in mind.
