Editing is an art form and is not simply topping. Like a painter selecting his medium, colours and style, the photographer can take any base canvas (image) to paint his masterpiece. It’s up to you if you want to limit yourself and that’s fun too but there’s no need to see it as you said.
Great stuff, saving this video for inspiration purposes. It's so easy to get bored with your surroundings and think there's nothing to shoot around you and then I see these really nice images of very mundane typical dutch stuff and I'm like... Damn, guess I don't need to travel somewhere new to make interesting pictures, I should just pay more attention to my surroundings. Oh yeah I like the way you made the video this time. Very professional.
Great video - I love my regular GR. I used to do exactly as you say - save one copy as JPG (i loved positive film and high contrast B&W). I will eventually buy a GR III maybe IIIx .
You asked for feedback..I thought the video sequences worked well and made it look professional.. I always shoot jpg+ raw so I have full options later. I do find it helpful if shooting for B/W to have that jog set on the LCD so I see how best to compose for B/W. Please Keep up the good work!👍
Great video! I really LOVE how the (GR3) hi contrast B&W looks! I use a setting from “Ritchie’s Ricoh Recipes” called Dramatic Monochrome and it’s basically hi contrast B&W with a few more tweaks to the settings of the effect and white balance… it made me lazy though and I’m using that setting as an excuse to keep the jpg and not spend any time editing/using the dng-file unless the jpeg is not exposed right… at most I will use Lightroom to straighten horizontal/vertical lines (on the jpeg) and to hell with the minor loss of quality…. With the hi contrast B&W setting and good geometry those pics look way good enough for me!
oh man. so i just learned two things. 1 - that i've been pronouncing Gouda wrong all these years and B - that i'll have to continue pronouncing it wrong because there's no way anyone here will understand the proper pronunciation =-)
B&W should never be an option when you're shooting deep coloured items like that of purple Pansies or red roses. Buildings, and faces.... especially faces should be shot in B&W. This is because B&W has a natural tendency to bring out the shadows and shadows from the face tell a story about the person without as much as lifting a pen to paper. I challenge you to shoot a friend's face both in colour then B&W. You'd be pleasantly surprised the difference. Heck, I did that once and I couldn't believe it was the same person.
Great video - thanks so much!
not only good video but also great background sound.
Thanks, friend!
Nice video I like the high contrast setting and I really like the soft monochrome for landscape shots
I agree! Love it, especially with nice skies
I think your own personal style is closer to the soft monotone look. That would make an interesting comparison as well.

Thanks Joost!

Regular GR is great! I usually shoot Positive Film as well

Hahaha that’s so funny 😂 Do you pronounce it as Goo-dah or Gau-dah?
@@NielsdeKemp - all goo-dah, all the time =-)

I think we should never say never but I agree with the B&W for portraits!
