Window Shoper

GRD, f2.4, 1/60, ISO 1600, JPG

Although I still have three pictures left on the film in the GR1, I did not get roun to use it today so took this picture with the GRD I instead. I had to use ISO 1600 since it was dark so I doubt the ISO 200 film in the GR1 would have been of much use today. Only processing was a slight crop and removing the color noise using Noise Ninja. After using the GR1 recently, I really hope Ricoh can get the GRD III to focus as fast and reliable as the GR1. While the GRD I is very fast and one of the feastest focusing compact cameras, the GR1 is even faster and more reliable in low light. This coupled with a fast lens would be the prefect camra for low light street photography.

Painted Faces

LC1, f5, 1/500, ISO 100, RAW, 28mm

While walking around central London I realized that the Gay Pride is on in Soho. So what better way to spend some time and take some pictures. It was pretty crowded and had some very colorful characters around. This also allowed me to see how the LC1 performs in manual focus since the AF is way too slow for street photography. It performs very well indeed although it still has a slight shutter lag, nothing beats the GRD I here. But the dynamic range of the LC1 is indeed very good and helped a lot with the changing light conditions.
This is the picture I liked most and while it was tempting to just post more pictures I need to get back to the "One day, one picture". But I will post the other pictures on Flickr as soon as I get around to.
