Omg :49 is such a cool shot. awesome composition! 2:44 is great, too with the wall in the foreground and all that fog/mist in the distance. And the hand at 6:49!!!!! So sick. But I think my favorite has to be... that so cute pupper through the window lookin at you!!!!!!! Really glad the almighty algorithm sent me here. Beautiful work
I really love how you get such an early start. You catch some great stuff without all the hubbub. And being that I live in a small town (less than 2 miles across) in the very north of Massachusetts, you inspire me to get compositions that aren't Shinjuku Station. (Yes, I watch a lot of photo walk videos.)
Thanks Chris, I do love an early start - something about the mood in combination with the type of light. It's funny you should mention Shinjuku station, as Tokyo is my next video, but I literally had no keepers from my walk around that station!
Love it, beautiful locations you have there! Any chance you would show some alternative film simulations? I'm using classic chrome on my x100vi but now am considering playing around a bit with the raw conversion. I wonder how locations with light like this would look with Reala Ace with chrome: strong, chrome fx blue: strong and DR400. I like it a lot, especially when blue sky is in the shot.
Some lovely shots here. So are all the GRiiix shots SOOC jpegs in negative film…no post production? Great either way, just curious as I’m considering the camera myself. Thanks
I do some very minor tweaks of the existing Ricoh simulations in lightroom (negative film and positive film are my favourites). For a day's shooting, I'd typically make 3 versions of the same preset with slightly different exposure levels to account for time of day / location etc.
Good question. Both are most definitely a luxury, but the more I use the X100vi, the more I find the GR unique. It's a pure everyday carry, so it will gobble up any occasion with family / friends / work where I wouldn't bother fretting over an X series.
For moving subjects (majority of my photos), I keep it on continuous focus mode with wide tracking + single point focus (locking on to desired subject). I change to single focus mode for architecture etc.
Nice to not be remonstrated at for taking photos in a public space… a thoroughly decent man with the dog… 👍🏴 I’ve had a few close calls where I was told I couldn’t take photos, one assaulted me from behind (an anti-vaxxer) which knocked my confidence for a while after… and I wasn’t doing anything wrong either.
Extrem tolle Aufnahmen! Gerade krank zuhause und es tut gut auf eine Foto-Reise mitgenommen zu werden!
Your compositions are stunning. Turning basic locations into magic.
Thanks - yes, not the easiest location!

Thanks so much - something about that hand photo also rings true with me 📸
Beautiful video and photos Mark!! The music pairs so well too!

@@po.ntandshoot - well poo! I guess it means another trip out. ;)
Lovely pictures again!
Thank you!
That guy you were talking to at the end was a G!
Snipped almost all of the conversation / insight. Get them on mastermind right now!
Legend. How do you find shooting on overcast days? I’ve always struggled
Lovely work, nice variety of locations!
Cheers Andre! I lived in Wales for 2 years, so it was great to return again.
Very nice photos! I laughed when the guy said "thousands of photos and you can't print any!", yeah ok mate...
Yeah, there were quite a few gems that I couldn't keep in!

Should be in Positive Film.. Not sure if there are any post-production adjustments..

@@po.ntandshoot that’s great, thanks for the reply
@@classicnickpics465 fantastic camera, you will love it. Set the white balance to 5500k rather than auto, most people use auto.
What's the soundtrack you are using? It's really chilling vibe.
Hi, I used 3 tracks from Melodie (stock site). 2 of 3 are by Stefano Mastronardi, the other is by Bruce Maginnis.
Beautiful photo!!!
Do you use aperture priority or what? Thanks
Yes, effectively! I just toggle the focusing mode and the aperture for the vast majority of shots.
really portable and good enough
Do you find enough of a difference to really justify both? I have the VI but have been slightly interested by the GR
Good question. Both are most definitely a luxury, but the more I use the X100vi, the more I find the GR unique. It's a pure everyday carry, so it will gobble up any occasion with family / friends / work where I wouldn't bother fretting over an X series.
what are your autofocus settings? I am struggling with this on the x100vi and ricoh

Wow, that's awful. Hope you get back into the swing of things - can imagine it's not easy.
Nice video and photos! Are you editing with LR presets?
Cheers! I make slight tweaks to the existing simulations for both cameras.
@@po.ntandshoot Nice!
Which camera do you like better?
Ha, tough one. Ricoh for an everyday day, Fuji for a planned day.
What ‘recipe’ are you using on the VI?
Classic chrome! (Plus a tweak or two with the contrast / shadows)
@@po.ntandshoot thanks. Hitting Bath at the end of the month. Hoping for some nice weather to take the camera for a spin.
If you could only have one, which would you choose?
If I had to? X100. Powerful and reliable, plus I can't be without a 35mm. The GR is the better EDC though.
How to choose between griii and griiix?
If you like the option of isolation / portraits, then definitely go for the X!
