Street Photography With Ricoh GR II
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Street photography is what my little Ricoh GR II is great for. After the questions my last video raised, I thought it was time to give street photography a proper go.
So I put the little Ricoh GR II in my pocket and was once again very pleased with the ease this camera gives me.
I haven't used it for a long time and was annoyed to find on the first potential scene that there was no memory card in it - duh!
Too bad, because the lady on the stairs doing her exercises could have given a great image. By the time a memory card was in, of course, she was already gone. Oh well. Street photography doesn't tolerate carelessness.
But how to film the whole thing on video?
Alone, without a cameraman, I saw only the possibility to work with the street photography "stage method". No way to just roam the streets, spontaneously shoot interesting scenes and film it at the same time.
So I looked for "stages" with an appealing composition, watched the action, positioned myself and the video camera and waited for something to happen.
I am absolutely not an experienced street photographer. This combined with filming made me sweat again and again. Although no killer shot came out of it, I'm still happy with the images and especially with how fun, refreshing and inspiring this very different way of photographing was (in contrast to how I usually photograph).
Thanks for watching!

Great Thomas, the Ricoh is a liberating experience and a joy to use. Also great for leaving a location quickly when you are spotted and you shouldn’t really be there :)
Now that would make a fresh advertising slogan: "The perfect camera for swift-footed escape!"
Or imagine the review category "Escape Factor"
:)
I love this street photography with the ricoh gr II series !!!
That's nice to hear, thank you!
This was awesome, Thomas! Love the mood and energy here! Very inspiring!
Thank you :)
@@thomasrhinow my pleasure!🙌
👍👍👍👍
Great work as always!👍Thanks for sharing! Where is the location? Seems a great place for interesting photo shoots.
Thank you :)
The location is around the Novartis Campus in Basel. Novartis recently opened the Campus itself for the public with outside access to buildings of renowned architects (Frank O. Gehry, Tadao Ando, Herzog & De Meuron etc.), so I will definitely go there for some architecture and/or street sessions. Unfortunately the campus is only open during office hours and closed on weekends.
Great images - get a VO on these?
Thank you! What does "VO" mean?
@@thomasrhinow voice over 👍

Got it :)
Should yo mean, if I could do some voice over image explanations, then the answer is no - I want to keep the videos voice free.
But check out the community post. Maybe I'll reveal my motivation, thoughts, settings etc. about each image through community posts - should this be a desire of my viewers.
👏 👏 👏
Nice work.
I gave you a Sub 👊

A very good video. Love it. What did you use to film?
Take care
Thank you :)
I mainly film with the Fuji X-T4 and 16mm/2.8 lens .
Sorry. Wanted to watch but the over long intro and irritating music got to me.
Thanks for letting me know what you don't like. This always helps to learn and improve. Cheers
