I think it is necessary to photograph with a visual idea and not just drift blindly. Leaving the commercial aspect of photography, I speak as one who loves photography as an art form and question how good all the achievements are for the feeling in photography.

#What is ricoh 5 in 1 iso#
Lea studio portrait – Ricoh GR IIm – ISO 100 ƒ10 1/100sec with GODOX Studio Strobe and X-Pro P Trigger Photography as an art form Please don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing wrong with it and it has often saved our photographers’ asses that it is possible to adjust everything again at any time. The original image is only the first step in a long processing chain. All options, always and with all possibilities. That’s good for the customer, good for the photographer. The best thing to do is to have VSCO or RNI installed, scroll through the presets and choose one, add a nice curve, and you’re done. We all know how it works today – it’s best to shoot RAW, send it to the image processor and then make the look. Consciously chosen and then having to work with it. Whether black and white or colour – there is no way back. This decision determines the look of the finished picture (let’s leave the lab out of this). In analogue photography, you decide on a certain type of film. A Polaroid has a special attraction because of its uniqueness, because it is not arbitrary and our influence on the final result is very limited. What does it do to you when you take a Polaroid, for example? The attachment to the image is indisputably greater than to any file on a memory card – regardless of whether it is blurred, imprecise, washed-out colours, small format. The sad valley – Ricoh GR IIm – ISO 100 ƒ4.5 1/350sec Feeling and photography So this problem or desire for a monochrome camera must be solved in another way.īut let’s start a little further ahead, a little more abstract without getting esoteric. Or rather, I haven’t really been able to explain to my bank account why at least 5,000 euros should flow in the direction of Wetzlar just because of the feeling. There are purely economic reasons why I haven’t bought one yet. A reader ( thanks Stephen) contacted me about his custom made “Ricoh GRm” monochrome camera:įor a long time now, I’ve been looking a little enviously in the direction of Leica because of the monochrome versions of the M and Q models.
