Welcome to Colchester

Today, I decided to go to Colchester and see the sights. After a bad start with the trains I got there and spent a very nice day wandering around the town and taking pictures.
I have used mostly the GF1 with the Leica f2.8 28mm R lens but have also been taking a few pictures using my iPhone and have posted pictures from both here.

Walk around the White Cliffs

While I have been to Dover before and got back fairly unimpressed I decided to go back there with friends today. We decided to take a walk along the cliffs and go to visit the South Foreland Lighthouse.

The walk was very nice and provided lots of photo opportunities, I took my LC1 with me since I love using the camera and have not taken it out much. I did not regret it and it performed very well so I decided to post a whole series of pictures.

Walking in Front of Me

GRD III, f4.0, 1/79, ISO 200, RAW

Not quite in focus but I still like it and wated to give it a look like the text mode.

Enjoying a Cool Beer

GRD III, f4.5, 1/500, ISO 200, RAW

The weather was great for a bank holiday here so I went fo a walk around Brick Lane. This is my fevorite picture from the day, I thought to have it just in b&w but found taht sepia works better and it gives it a nicer and older feel.

I also enjoyed using the GRD III again and although it is not as fast as the GF1 and the image quality is obviously not on the same level it is silent and small enough not to be noticed by people. I do hope Ricoh will release a camera like the GF1 soon though, as much as I like the GF1 I would prefer to use a Ricoh version because of the superior ergonomics.

Hope Photokina will have Ricoh finally show a GXR module with the potential to compete against all the mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and deliver again a superior serious compact.

Light in the Entrance

Apple has claimed the new iPhone has an improved camera with a new backlit CMOS sensor and indeed the new iPhone camera is pretty decent. In good light it gives pretty good IQ, it focuses fast and has minimal shutter lag. I would still not consider it a proper camera but it certainly delivery decent images.
