09:15 My Struggle with the GR III
11:28 Back to the Photowalk
Your videos are first class. Calm, well thoughout and well explained. The music choice here was beautiful too.
This video is a good example that good street photographs are mostly a matter of repetition, practice, practice and more practice. You got some great shots with negative space and high contrast.
Thanks :)
the practice of seeing is never repetitious but always new and unique camera is not an instrument but a tool you do not make a photo the camera does
Really enjoyed the comments on what you see that makes you stop, how you compose the image, goals, challenges, and thought process. Very insightful and helpful. Thank you!
I agree these are the things I like as well, gives me a learning experience and more understanding behind what goes on in their mind when capturing a scene. Great inside info!
Glad you liked it and it seems like you are not the only one. I will keep on making these ;)
I watch a lot of photography UA-cam, but you have my favorite compositions by far! I am always inspired by your shots. Thanks for explaining your process.
Wow, thank you!
Your shots are honestly so inspiring to me, I will be buying the griii this week and have you partially to blame! You’ve definitely earned a new subscriber.
Go for it!
Wonderful video! Super insightful look into the though processes of a pro.
Glad it was helpful!
Salut Adrien ! Je suis tombée sur ton compte par hasard, subscribed directement. J’ai déménagé à Tokyo récemment, j’ai donc doublement apprécié tes shots et tes explications. Pas de grand bla-bla ni trop complexes, c’était ultra clair. Merci beaucoup ! Et comme d’autres, j’ai beaucoup beaucoup aimé ce format POV et ta voix off. A la prochaine vidéo !! 🙂↕️
I very much enjoyed your thought processes in the actual situation... very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Great shots and great video. I really like hearing your thought process and how you decide to set up your shots. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Nice and useful to hear how you reason when approaching the shot!
Great work! Love the thought process and explanation of such. Subscribed. Of all the places in the world I've been I kept going back to Japan for street photography. The subjects and variations are endless.
You're my main inspiration in photography, its amazing to see how you take great photos that in my first perception are "ugly" and also its really amazing to hear and understand the reasons behind some of your photos :))
Thanks, glad you liked the insights and commentary :)
Great job, Adrien!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoy watching your use of, and the commentary, regarding the GR III.
Glad you enjoy it!
Really enjoyed this video. Talking about your thought process is very inspiring and insightful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Once again capturing the chill exploration vibes I one day want to experience in Japan again
I live in northern Europe where the sky has been grey for about 4 months now through winter. I found I stopped shooting with my GRs around the same time. I can't wait for spring…
Love these type of videos. Looking forward to more
Awesome, thank you!
The composition you came up with is wonderful!👍👌📸
Thanks a lot!
Your photos remind me a lot of Ming Thein whose blog I always really enjoyed. Great work.
8:13 is great! Great shadow framing, pole on the left and also a bit of vignetting from the right
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Thank you Adrien for your work video very inspiring to go out and take photos !))
My pleasure!
Lantern shot superb👏🏼
Thanks!
Nice video. Good to see how you work with 28mm.
How do you feel about the 35mm crop quality? I know the 50 is pushing it, but the 35 is no issue?
Those gloves are mental ! 🤣 fluffy man
Hi Adrien, thanks for the video. I stumbled on it by chance and you made me realise that maybe why I don't get along with my fixed lens mirrorless setup is that it's probably just too wide for the type of photos that I like to take. For a long time, I couldn't pinpoint the reason, until now !
Glad it was helpful!
1:38 is gorgeous
Thanks!
the shot where you took at 6:58, did you use highlight metering to crush the blacks and raise the highlights? I really enjoy the mood from the this photo as well as the one where you taught us about using the sky and locking the exposure there.
Wonderful video and photos. I'm going to Japan for the first time in 2 weeks. I'm excited to make some work there.
Have fun!
Thank you your video is such a great way to learn street photography
Glad you think so!
Love your videos mate! Really gain a lot from them. How do you find the performance of centre and multi metering respectively - which do you tend to gravitate towards more? When not using highlight weighted I constantly go back and forth and struggle get consistency out of either (using X version). Thanks!
how did you get your screen to have the level and tilt meter across its entirety instead of just that small box?
Thank you for this beautiful video. Thank you for your time and effort.
To get level shots, look for invisible ’T’s, such as where a door transom or the top of a door meets its upright. Windows offer the same T reference. Any building upright pillar will also do.
Nice point of view! Thank you for this experience! I am still battling with my self if I should buy this camera as my EDC and to partner with my Lumix S5 Kit. I used to own a Fujifilm X100S but the size of that series is huge and the hype did not help with the 2nd hand pricing. One thing that just bothers me is that lens of the GR series, have seen a lot of bad experience like dust, stuck cover etc...lack of EVF does not bothers me.
lovee the compoaitions! regarding to the struggle, wont it be better for you to have the gr iiix than the iii?
Nice photos and video!
Thank you very much!
curious did you edit the photos after? or is it straight from the camera with a preset?
You got a great eye. Many shots I couldn't see why you took them, after seeing the photo i was surprised. Tiptop.
Thanks 👍
Are the photos out of camera jpegs or do you edit in post? lovely shots!
Hey Adrien, thanks for the great videos.
I would like to know about the recipe you used for the photos in this walk. It doesn't look like your previously mentioned favorite Yawakai 160 (?), as these seem to have more punch, contrast to them. Am I right or just making things up? :)
Or were these just raws with presets added later on during editing?
very inspiring
This video really got my looking at the Ricoh in a different way, I love my X100F but it's definitely not pocketable.
You have to compromise on some features but the GR is definitely pocketable
Very nice video, thanks for sharing. You used a GoPro 11 to record it?
Thanks for a great video and beautiful photographs ! Can you please talk about the shooting mode, and all the iso settings? Is it manual or automatic?
Also , if you can make a video about the camera color settings.
Thanks for your comment, I have a video covering my settings with the Ricoh GR ua-cam.com/video/ycEOE8Avglk/v-deo.htmlsi=TtSwd3agVcsnhBtD
lovely as always big dog
Much appreciated
As a Griiix user for more than a year at this point, you're really making me want ot get the regular Griii😅
Haha sorry to make you spend money but the regular GR III is nice ;)
Your videos always inspire me to go out and take more photos. Wish you the best 👍
Thanks :)
Nice photo, gr3 or 3x what is your perfer
Lovely shots as always. If you have to live with only one camera, which one will it be ?
Given than I do UA-cam it would be the Sony a7IV. It's my best camera for doing both photos and videos. And I think that if you attach a light lens to it, it is a very fun camera to shoot with, unlike a lot of people are saying
The camera you are shooting the video with is nice.
Great video.
Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to take street photography more serious but I’m wondering what other avenues I can take to get my work out there? Currently I’m just posting photos on IG.
Which of your presets specifically did you use for these photos? There is a sort of desaturated and natural look to theses photos which is very appealing where I usually find GR images overly sharp and contrasty.
It's the Sakai Preset from my v2 pack :)
@@adriensanguinetti thank you. Nice work.
I'm in doubt between Ricoh GR III and Canon G7X Mark lll for daily and travel photography. Can someone help me? And Where to buy it in Orlando.
Great one. Which DOF setting that you use?
In general I try to be at DOF 3 or DOF 2
It takes a bit getting used to but really like to go out with my Fuji X100 (original). Wouldn't mind also owning a GR 😅
Great format with your actual thoughts during the walk ... a real composition masterclass! Is that Hiroshima?
Glad you like it, yes it is Hiroshima
What is the recipe you are using?
Subscribed; thanks!
can you do a 2024 Ricoh gr3 setup for day and night?
It has not really changed compared to the videos I did last year but I will think about it :)
Besides your presets, which ricoh recipe do you use in this video? 🙂
I like to have the negative film profile on but I always shoot RAW and edit the photos with my presets ;)
@@adriensanguinetti Bonjour Adrien, si tu shoots en RAW, pourquoi cropper à la prise de vue? C'est pour te souvenir du cadre grâce au jpeg ? merci
Do you shot with ricoh gr film recipe or without it?
I just apply the negative film profile when I shoot but anyway I shoot RAW and then edit all my photos with my presets ;)
I wanna watch 1000 photos ASMR! ❤
Really hope we could see GR IV in 2024 and wish the autofocus could be snappy.
So, what was the struggling part? The photos looked very nice and the area photo worthy. Was it the inspiration?🤔
Once the sun was gone I started have difficulties to find composition and my point is that I struggle when using a wide focal length on grey days ;)
Great video! Do you ever find yourself wishing that you had the GRiii x? I'm also living in Japan and I'm wondering which I should get for street and family shots.
Love you content. Going to join the Patreon this month!
Thanks! yes I wish I also had the GRIIIX sometimes but now I can't really justify it since I have my Fuji and other options on my Sony to get a tighter look. But If I had nothing and not doing youtube I would maybe have only the 2 GRs.
For family shots I would definitely suggest to get the normal GR, especially if you shoot a lot indoor. For streets you can figure out with any of the GRs, it really depends on how you shoot street
@@adriensanguinetti thanks for the reply! I also shoot a Fuji, and I usually live with the XF 23 or 35mm lenses. That makes me lean towards the iiix for the times I can't bring my Fuji and lenses. But as you said the 28mm would be good indoors and I'm about to have a kid so that's a big consideration. I think I'm scared of the 28mm for street, I have never composed well in that focal length haha.
你是我最喜欢的gr博主 真的好想要你的机内设置🎉
GRIII and Fuji x100v which one is better?
The Fuji is not pocketable...
I am struggling with my GRiiiX. It won’t focus. Have snap plus touch screen focus without success. I’ve reset to original factory settings and no luck. Made sure macro focus is not activated. I’ll figure it out. Until then, I can’t use the camera.
Glad Ricoh made the iiiX. I don’t like the 28mm field of view. It is too wide for me. I have to get too close to my subjects for my comfort. Also have to crop the images. This is a personal preference. Also missing an EVF. I compose with the view finder. Also missing a tilting screen.
I am not a one handed photographer yet. I do love the small size.
Mask on Nurse Marty(Ret)
Sounds weird indeed not to be able to focus... I hope you will have it figured out
Shot at 5:19 is fantastic
Thanks!
Is Ricoh or Fujifilm xe4 better?
If you want to compare with a Fuji, take the X100V. XE4 is not a fixed focal
Nice neighborhood Adrien. Where is it exactly, I can't recognize it.
The first half was in Eki Nishi, just next to the station
@@adriensanguinetti Thank you. Is that in Hiroshima?
Why does 50mm look better in overcast than 28mm? It’s the same lens, same aperture, it’s just cropped. Shooting in 28 and then cropping in LR would be the same thing, but how would that make the light better??
When you frame with LCD showing the 50mm and the mindset of a 50mm, the photo will look different vs a 28mm shot that you stare at the desk and go "Hmmm, let's try cropping to see if it works".
It's the intention behind the framing.
@@professionalpotato4764Yeah, but what does that have to do with overcast light?
@@whothennow24 Yeah it doesn't make the light better. I kinda missed the question in my earlier reply. I guess it makes it easier to frame interesting subjects without the use of dramatic lighting. Especially if there isn't enough interesting subjects around. Layering with a 28mm in boring lighting becomes hard.
I find street photography a bit like a puzzle game. Find the subjects, lighting, elements and arrange them nicely. When lighting is missing, all you have is subject and elements. In reducing the frame size or focusing solely on an interesting subject with some supportive elements (i.e. 50mm), it makes the frame work out better than a wide empty frame with an interesting subject but without anything else to support it due to the relationship of the size of subject vs space around it.
Cool the microphone during the shoot session. Hopefully we gonna hear some jokes 😉
Hahaha maybe after a few sessions I will be more relaxed and find good jokes ^^'
Not gonna talk about how much skill is required to handle a p&s camera while wearing oven mitts?
tell us your strava mate )
Haha it's my name (Adrien Sanguinetti)
Why am I not purchasing GR 3? - No zoom lens😅
It’s Hiroshima!
It is :)
HDF will fix everything…
Haha, looks interesting. No plans of buying it but the GRIIIx in HDF must be good
Do you think urban scenes need humans to turn into valid subjects ?
I don't think you do. James Popsys is more of a landscape photographer, but when he does street, he finds great minimal compositions that imply humanity which he refers to as "human/nature".
It's an interesting approach coming from a perspective of someone who shoots scenes more than subjects.
✌️
It is absolutely not necessary to have a human somewhere in the frame to make a good photo. I call them subject sometimes but the subject is more the urban scene itself and the human is here to add some presence into it but it is not the main subject
Look up Mark Ruwedel seventy-two and one half miles across Los Angeles, you def don’t need people, nor do you need ‘permission’ to make your photography valid. Take what you ‘feel’ is right and enjoy your work, only then will you find your voice through the camera.
No. They need lighting, composition, layers, and story.
Humans help, as do animals but they're not necessary.
A couple of opinions: First, including people (not just silhouettes) makes it easier to tell a story or make an image emotionally impactful. This is particularly true when facial expressions (and, to a lesser extent, gesture and body position) are clearly evident. Secondly, photographing people in the street takes a whole different skill set than snapping architectural details, signs, vehicles, everyday items and such. It takes courage, quick reflexes and constant vigilance to anticipate scenes before they develop. The photographer must also have a keen understanding of composition because there is no time to ponder whether a better image might result from moving two paces to the left or from a lower angle. Things move fast when you are dealing with people on the move in a street environment.
Adrien’s images are certainly well done, but they are of a different genre than “classical” street photography that informs us about the human condition or strikes an emotional accord with a viewer. Both are valid approaches to “street photography”.
it will be easier to use if it has titly flippy screen
JPEG?
Subbed. Your results are better than 99% of them street photography/ camera review I saw on YT. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
