- Ricoh GR III POV Night photography in Tokyo. How does this camera handle low light? I was keen to find out, so I took it for a spin around Shibuya to see how it handles as a night shooting street camera. I was pleasantly surprised by the results, but it is not without its issues.

Let me know what you thought of the video and images below, I would love to hear your feedback, also give me a signal if you are a GR shooter
I love my griii it’s a great wee camera
It is that for sure
Some of the best shots with the GRIII I've seen on you tube! Do you shoot raw? I've heard you can only use the film simulations with jpeg.
Im considering this camera and was worried about the auto-focus limitations in low light because of reviews, but it looks like you did a great job with it!
I bought a GR III a week ago and have watched many youtube videos (before I bought and after) of street photographers using this camera and have to say that your photographs are some of the most considered and beautiful examples I have seen. Inspiring, thank you.
Lovely review. Nice photos. And..... Thank you for putting photo details including shooting mode outside of the frame using easy to read black text on a white background. Brilliant 👏
I'm quite happy with...this video!! Good shots thanks for sharing.
Great shots
shots look amazing, i just ordered mine cant wait ;)
Great video and great shots! Impressed with your work and your modesty is refreshing - even if not really necessary! Still in a learning curve myself with the griii. No flip screen and no evf are more difficult to work around than I thought, so I find myself gravitating toward my XT4. Seeing your shots, it’s clear I need to practice more😊.
Really love your processing of the images, especially loved the taxi with the curved walkway
The best Ricoh Gr iii photographer Ive seen so far on youtube! I´m glad I found you sir, looking forward to learn from you.
wow great stuff!
I'm a new subscriber and I am watching through all your videos now 😊 Great chanel, really like it!
Loved this! Really like your style! It feels a lot more calculated and creative!!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you saying so and thanks for taking the time to check out my channel
Dope shots! Makes me want to visit Tokyo ASAP. I found your video because I just added a GR iii to my toolkit and have been looking into what others are doing with it. Subscribed here and followed on Instagram as soon as this video was over. I think my favorites are the two at 4:30 & 8:50 🤙🏼
Watched loads of videos as im torn on taking the plunge on a Ricoh, I think this video just convinced me, some great shots here
Great video! Keep going :)
Really useful. I have the same camera, and am yet to experiment with night shots. But you’ve passed on some great data from your images, so thank you 👏
Thank you for the honesty! Nighttime photography is a passion of mine. I struggled getting candids in the environments I wanted due to the autofocus (and honestly even the manual focus) functionalities of the GR ii. I came here to find out about your feelings with the iii, wondering if it were markedly better an experience. Questions answered! :)
tokyo seems so much more interesting to shoot than my city. i feel like the ricoh fits in there way better.
Where do you live? Tokyo is certainly a very photogenic city and you are never short of things to see and photo that’s for sure
@@Visions_in_Toyko i live in berne, capitol city of switzerland. Itˋs nice and cozy to live in but beside the ladscape, not very intersting and people rely don‘t like or feel very uncomfortable when they see a person with a camera. Thatswhy i got myself a 85mm lens to get some distance between me and the people
Great stuff as always ! Your intro is so sick, I love it ! :) Had a GR3, sold it couple of months ago :(. The night life and the lights there are crazy, here in Brussels everything is dark, dull and dead. Keep up the good work !
Thank you Octavian, much appreciated as always
Really nice video and some great shots of the booya! I just my GR a few weeks ago and I'm struggling at night too. I know this video is a few months old and I'm sure you're much better with the Ricoh than me, but FWIW I found the following either from personal experience or other RUclips videos:
* If I turn off the IBIS for panning shots I actually get better results as it can try to compensate for the panning motion
* In one user mode I use full press snap and have the FN button set to focus. I try to prefocus as much as I can. I use another user mode just for snap and have the FN button set to snap distance
* I've tried f4 / 1/30th / 800. It gives me a bit more depth of field but it's a trade off with motion blur.
Can't wait for Tokyo to open up again. See you out there sometime!
Cool
YASSSS! As you already know, I am utterly in love with my Ricoh GR! Such a stunning little full manual compact and it's colour saturation is delicious :) I haven't had a chance to get mine out properly for a nice shoot but what I have done with it so far is gorgeous, loving what you got here, it was made for street photography and I think it handles low light great with the film like grain it gives and the shots you got here with the lighting is wonderful to me :) I agree the auto focus is sluggish and it's set focus is very narrow but I love that challenge :D
yessss Lette, get out and shoot, I wanna see your pics :) thanks again for watching, i truly appreciate it
Amazing 👍 you are making ordinary night photos to the beautiful abstract.. I would love to see your lightroom edit technique as well..
Thank you very much. I might do a video on it one day in the future, no promises though 😉
Nice, I was wondering how was this camera for low light situations since I mainly shoot at night but for what I see in this video it does a really nice job, thanks man! :)
👏🏻👏🏻
I have a GRIII X and I’m considering going back to a Sony FF for low light. I really love the photo quality of the Ricoh generally, but the auto focus is so bad. I haven’t shot at night too much but I even struggle with the AF during the day.
i think you should master the iso fix at 3200 amd close the aperture so recover exposure in post editing.
wishing awesome holidays
Great shot!Im a ricoh gr user myself, hope one day can go out making video like this, kind to share your pov setup?Thanks
for this one I just mounted a gopro to the bottom with an adapter, I usually mount it on the top, but because I had the viewfinder in the hot shoe I had to put it underneath. I like mounting it to the camera though and think it works well with these videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and I would love to check out your images
My god Shibuya looks so good! I would have a field day if I was there!
Ps I really love the images coming out of the Ricoh is this SooC?
@@Iamtongue yeah it’s an awesome place to shoot, just full of life and energy. These are my own edits of the raw files but the JPEG’s do look nice sooc
Cool video! I wonder what metering mode you were using most of the time? I love the GR's highlight weighted metering, but only in bright light. Looks like the GR handled ISO up to 6400 really well!
For this video I think I was using centre weighted metering mainly, I grew highlight weighted is best for those bright days, I’m going to do a video on just highlight weighted metering soon though as I really enjoy using it and the winters in japan are very sunny but cold with great light so it should lend itself well to that kind of mode
Amazing work! I really like your comments on how you frame your shots and what you look for in a composition of a photograph! Really fascinating! Also, quick question: do you usually set your ISO to automatic?
Hey thanks for the kind comments, I would say around 80% of the time I do yes, however I have it set to an upper limit of 6400 so it won’t go above that. I try to shoot in manual mode as much as possible to get a better understanding of what I’m doing and hopefully be able to predict what settings would work just by looking at the available light in the future if I ever get good enough
@@Visions_in_Toyko I'm asking cause I'm just starting out with photography on the X Pro 1 and I was wondering how to get the nice contrast and colors you got in your shots (which are beautifully composed really!). Do you "darken" them in a software, or do you use one of the filters on the x pro 1? I'm trying to get my pics to have those deep colors and contrasts so I'm wondering how to set up the camera for that. Sorry for the lenghty question.
@@yccmo hey thanks for the question. Basically, its all about exposing for the highlights. when you use any automatic settings, the camera will analyze all the light in the scene and calculate an average grey tone that it uses to determine the "correct" exposure. due to the limitations of a camera's dynamic range, this will end up with an image that the highlights are slightly over-exposed in order to keep some of the shadow detail. Once a highlight is over-exposed its basically captured as a white pixel and you can not bring back any information from that in post-processing. usually, this is "technically" a correct exposure but creatively not always what you might want especially in a high contrast scene. You can use the cameras exposure compensation dial to tell it that you want to underexpose the image, this will make sure that the whitest and brightest areas are exposed correctly, the knock-on effect is that we end up losing the detail in the shadows and they just basically turn black. (for these high contrast images though we are happy to lose the shadow detail in order to retain the highlights, so I would recommend experimenting with the exposure compensation dial, then after in capture one or Lightroom you can use the HSL sliders to select certain colours within the image and add a bit of saturation to them to make them pop a little bit more. These kinds of high contrast images work best on very bright days and in scenes where there is a big contrast between the light area and the darkest area. I would suggest checking the video below from Sean Tucker as he goes over this in more detail and explains it much better than me haha. The Ricoh GR has a metering mode which essentially does this and I am putting together a video focusing on it that should be coming out soon, but it is easy to do in manual mode or with the exposure compensation dial on the fuji X-Po 1. the beauty of the fuji is how well they capture the colours so once you start to nail this kind of photography the images will look so nice and vibrant. This kind of photography doesn't work in every scene though, so if it's a grey day there is less dynamic range available so it won't really work as well. I hope that makes sense and helps out, buy yeah check the video below, Sean explains it like a boss

Seems like a decent stealthy camera for street to be fair, far more stealthy than the Fuji GFX50s I tried to use for street recently ha!
haha, yes its a little more discreet then the GFX thats for sure. How do you find shooting street with that? I have never used one but I gather its a little slow, I could be wrong though
@@Visions_in_Toyko Haha you're definitely right there, it's only 3fps and focus is quite slow but it does produce some stunning results when you get it right. I don't use on personally, just borrowed one to make a few YT vids. Shoot X-T4 myself for the most part
Nice set of pics , do you subconsciously gravitate to shooting more with a portrait orientation knowing that these will be on Instagram ? It's a consideration I think a lot of photographers make . I can't seem to break away from shooting landscape , it feels more cinematic to me .Cheers, Dom
it all depends on the scene really, I like to shoot both ways it just depends on what I am looking at and how I visualise it at the time. landscape is certainly more cinematic though thats for sure and I would say that I tend to gravitate more towards landscape generally, but im all about experimenting and trying stuff out, i find it too easy to slip into habits so part of the reason for doing these videos was to force myself to experiment more
Hi - is the video shot with the GR iii also? Why does the video seem wider than the stills? Any issues with dust in the lens/sensor? Cheers
So snap or af? Which one for street photo?
Very nice👍 I just received my griii i have so many questions.... What mode do you shoot in? I love this little camera. How do you set up so i have exposure compensation separate from iso?
For most of these I was using snap focus, I find it he quickest way to shoot, almost like zone focusing. I also use auto iso but set a limit on it up to 6400 and set a minimum shutter speed of around 125/1 this way I can use my aperture to get the exposure I want then adjust the exp comp depending on how much light is in the scene. For night time stuff I don’t really compensate much, I find that exp comp works better in the day time especially in high contrast situations where you want to control the highlights
Do you say GRlll is better than GRlllx if I'm willing to take street snaps as you did in Tokyo?
So basically you gotta crank up the ISO with GR III? Cause 4000 is pretty high. Im glad you were honest cause i was considering something lighter or smaller than my Pen ep5 and em1 . But i have fast primes, great af, and ibis up the wazoo. Those 3 features are non negotiable
eah i mean f2.8 isnt the best for low light obviously and so you need to get the iso up on this camera if you want to be shooting at 1/125 and above, once you go above 4000 iso the image starts to fall apart a bit
do you shoot raw or jpeg?
Amazing street shots man! Your bit doubtfull advise doesnt seem to translate into the pictures. What small camera would do better in lowlight?
Thank you, I guess I suffer a bit from imposter syndrome and never really have much confidence in my own work. I guess that was part of the reason to do this channel though as well so that I could get feedback and hopefully grow into being more confident both as a photographer as well as being on camera
@@Visions_in_Toyko I can fully relate to that. I really like your approach of trying and learning. Thats the only way to get better and to find youre style. And since you asked for feedback: I am not much fan of the over the top youtube slang. Somehow it doesn't seem to suit you. But treat that for what it is: just 1 opinion!
O..and almost forgot: I just also bought a GRIII! also based on your videa, so thanks!
What would be less noisy in low light? A inch sensor camera with 1.8 aperture or the griii?
A bigger sensor and 1.8 aperture would blow this out of the water
haha excellent, the first time i came in Japan, first day in Tokyo, we ate in Grandma's George, it was the best salmon pasta i ever ate x)
EDIT 6:29 was it yesterday ? 23/11/2020 ? I was there around 17-18pm
haha no way, I will have to check it out and try that salmon pasta. There is so many good food spots in Tokyo :)
were you there yesterday as well? damn, we missed each other
@@Visions_in_Toyko Haha, I hope for they pull it back on the menu, I was there 1 year later and it was sadly gone :X
@@Visions_in_Toyko Yeah was there, looking for christmas presents, not in photography mood ^^
What is snap focus?
it is a setting on the camera where you can set the camera to prefocus to a set distance. this was its really fast as the camera does not need to refocus every shot, you just get he right distance from your subjec and i will be in focus. i works similar o how a range finder works, which is super fas, especially for street
feedback: dont shoot at night
I think you can, it’s just being aware of the limitations of the camera, you can get nice results, but it can be a challenge, however if night photography is a big part of what you shoot there are certainly better cameras to do the job then the GRiii
@@Visions_in_Toyko which one do you think could do better than GRiii for night street photography?
@@manmohanpanda4362 in my opinion RX100 series of Sony have a better and faster focus in low-light situations. I bought the GRIII thinking it would be better than the GRII and it is, but still slow and hard to focus at night.
