Hi folks, great thread! And great pics as well. Do you guys use the art-filters? I like the high-contrast B&W. But sometimes the results can be a bit crunchy... Well i like this one, it is a JPG out of camera.

Greetings, Daniel

All were shot with a GRDII

The Wrestler - Weatherford, Texas (with the 21mm auxillary lens)




Union Station - Dallas, Texas




Waiting For the Blue Line - Dallas, Texas




From the Dream City series

Great stuff, Rick! The Wrestler is a killer of a shot.

Thanks, for the comments. Yeah, I had a great time shooting that guy. I was only a few feet away from him when he noticed me, growled at me, and jumped up on the ropes and struck that pose.

I just sold my GRDII in anticipation of buying the new Fuji X100. Now, after looking at the wonderful shots on this thread, I am starting to have second thoughts....

Maybe it is time for a GRDIII?

It's rare for me to comment on a landscape picture but I really dig this one. I love the high contrast that really works well with this image, awesome!

More of my streets and travel photographs using the GRD III can be seen on my flickr

Hi, thanks a lot. I looked at your work, very cool stuff! I like you portrait style. Especially the series from B.o.B Gunnar and the portrait from Usher. Very good!

Thank you Daniel. The portrait of Usher wasn't exactly a portrait. He was aware if me taking a picture, but it's a candid moment he had while on a break from shooting, and one of my favorite pictures.

GRD2

[Maiku]

Well I have to add my kudos to this little gem of a camera. I would like to extend a thanks to the guy I met at the Kitamura Sihinjuku used camera store, who introduced me to the camera. I had my reservations, but when I came across the GRD1 at another store for an unbeatable price I took. I am so happy I did. It is quite the little package.

Three more

[mrware]

Well, I guess this is my first post here, so, hello. I've been lurking awhile and enjoying all the photos.

Here are a few taken with my GRDiii

Hope you like them,

Ryan











Lastly a couple from a series I'm working on called Fleeting Farms

[weinfurtner]

Hi Ryan,

very nice indeed! The scenery and the colours of the surrounding nicley match the cross Process look. And of coursemi love the high contrast b&w mode.

Best wishes, Daniel

[gekopaca]

Ryan,
I like your pictures (especially 4, 5 and 6) but I HATE watermarks!!!
It pollutes the pictures!!!!

[mrware]

Gekopaca, I hear you. The watermarks are certainly way too big and maybe I don't need them at all?

[AJShepherd]

Got an original GRD and I love it. It's a real carry-everywhere camera.

Yes I think you don't need them.
Nobody steals pictures on the web, and if somebody really wants it it's easy to mask it with PS10.
IMHO even signatures are kind of vulgarity on the pictures; signature is a painting practise, no a photographic one.

[ElectroWNED]

Quick question: do you guys shoot 'in-camera' black and whites, or do you convert later? My III will be showing up tomorrow and want to go shoot right away...

[mrware]

I do both, but most often it's color and I convert it in Lightroom. The nice part about converting is because it's in color you can use filter effects and you can always have a colored version in addition to the black and white.

Enjoy your new camera, ElectroWNED. I look forward to seeing some pics.

I have a vI.

Most of the time I shoot "in camera" B&W, because when I shoot people Raw is too long to process.

I would shoot in Raw because I could post-process and have more possibilities : colors or B&W, grain, textures, dynamic range…

But I love the B&W jpegs of the vI. Really close to TriX +2 stops.
