Street Photography With Little Ricoh GRII
Vložit

- Street photography and Ricoh GR II again! Shadow photography during sunset and silhouette photography in the lights of the city night.
I do not drive a car, I am a user of public transport. Stations are like my third home and I should maybe stop calling this street photography but platform photography :)
The shadow play of the people at this location is a great opportunity. The great thing is that the setting sun is reflected in a large glass front and the people cast their shadows on both sides of the passage, which are awesome conditions for shadow photography!
A busier station than the last video and even more so at rush hour did not make filming and street photography at the same time easier. But I feel my way slowly, until hopefully one day to the big goal: Zurich Main Station (0.5 million passengers and 3000 trains - daily).
Just like the shadow photography, the spiral staircase at night is a super example of how much can be possible in a small area. It's usually worth spending time with a good subject and examining it from all angles with your camera! This staircase is not only a great stage for night street photography, but also an architectural gem!
If you have any questions or suggestions, just drop a comment.
Thanks for watching!

Video shot with Fujifilm X-T4 + Fujinon XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR and Insta360 One X (printing part)
Hyperlapse shot with DJI Pocket 2
Some fantastic shots in there! I love the videography, very interesting.
Thank you! Glad you like both photography and videography.
Thanks Thomas for another excellent and captivating presentation. As always, your images are excellent. The B-roll also keeps getting better and better and provides real context. You deserve a huge following! Keep up the good work.
Thank you Rolf for your feedback, really appreciate it!
Cheers :)
GRII = greatest video camera .... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO
Great video. Brilliant images. Thanks
Thank you :)
Woaaw heavily underrated!! The B-roll in your video is soo good. If you could give maybe one tip, the keeper-print it sequence is nice but gets a bit repetitive. Or I would put the pacing a little bit faster there. But otherwise amazing video!
Hey thanks a lot for your nice and constructive comment!
I'll stick to the image presentation time (although I did shorten it for the street videos, compared to architecture and landscape), because I think the viewers as well as the images deserve that moment, but you're right about the text display part - this can be way shorter.
Cheers
Great video, as always Thomas. Have subscribed and am making my way through your videos and am enjoying your work greatly and the way you compose your shots. Kudos.
I'm happy that you like my work, thank you very much! Cheers
WOW RICOH GR VIDEO SUPER TOLLLLLLLLLLL
Ich bin durch die Gr2 gerade auf dich aufmerksam geworden. Und dein Konzept der Auswertung der Bilder ist klasse. Es ist durch deine Auswahl zu behalten oder zu drucken echt mehr streetphotographie fühlbar. Im gegensatz zu anderen Kanälen wo ein Bild nach den anderen rausgehauen wird ohne sich damit in dem Sinne zu befassen. Ich finde das Grandios. Musik + Film + Fotografie....so mega stimmig. Vielen Dank dafür.
Vielen Dank für den netten Kommentar! Es freut mich, dass dir meine Arbeit und das Videokonzept gefällt. Gruss
Cool stuff Thomas, I own the GR3 and it’s total freedom on a walk about, love it.
Thank you!
Yeah, I absolutely have to take the Ricoh without filming again. Doing videos with it is hmm quarter freedom at best :)
@@thomasrhinow For sure, we forget that part this side that you are filming at the same time! Take it easy
No explanation needs. You nailed it.
Thank you!
enhorabuena, gran video, me quedo con la boca abierta hace que parezca sencillo francamente superior.
Thank you!
Top work. 👏📷😎👍👋
Thank you Steve! Cheers :)
Brilliant video :- ) ….. my favourite was the bats - VERY clever!!
Thank you Peter!
There's a bit of a bat in everyone of us :)
Well put together video.Your keeper is excellent.
Thank you! :)
lovely ❤️
Thank you :)
Superb works!
Thank you!
I think I would print the one the shows at 4:29, but then you shot the girl on the stairs, and definitively, I would print that one better... But still undecided on the one at 4:29. A great video as always! Also, the upside-down shot? really creative! I loved that one too.
I like the one at 4:29 too, except for how the stairs are cut on the left side. Wish I would have left a bit of breathing space there. The decision was closer for the image at 1:45 - I might print that one anyways.
Thanks a lot for your always appreciated feedback, IBCS!
@@thomasrhinow You're right, the one at 1:45 is great also! I would print that as well, I liked the opposite direction of the shadows and how the walls make it looks like a separate shot. On the other hand, I didn't noticed the cut on the stairs (of the 4:29), you missed that for like 3 cm hehehe, it looks great anyway!
But what I liked more of the video, was the effect you give when you first spotted the stairs, and immediately go to the spot, I felt it like I was there standing beside you when a sudden "oh" comes after the realization of the perfectly lighted stairs hehehe.
@@ibcsmx Yeah, 3cm! Always check the edges of the frame before shooting. Always ! A mantra I repeat to myself all the time but forgot it here. Street is just to quick for me - where's my tripod?? :D
I liked the image @ 1:43 and would have been happy to print it.
I was surprised by how good the video quality was from the GRii until I saw you used the Fuji XT4 and XF16 f/2.8 lens. Good job.
Just purchased a GRiii. I LOVE the IBIS and sharp lens. We all love the size. Not so keen on the 28mm focal length. It just seems too wide for me and hate having to get as close as I have to. Maybe should have picked up the GRiiiX.

Haha, I totally understand your surprise about GRII video quality. I did try it for video once or twice, but quickly ditched this idea.
I'm a big fan of the 28mm, wouldn't even mind 24mm.
When dust in my GRII becomes unbearable (doesn't need much more), I will probably upgrade too. These cameras/lenses are just so good and convenient. If I wouldn't own a ton of great vintage lenses, I guess my SLRs and Mirrorless wouldn't last long.
Yeah, I now think the 3 shadow figures are a print too. Not sure why I didn't choose it as such for the video. Maybe because I already had a print.
Cheers
Großartig! Nach zwei Minuten war ich schon gespannt, was noch kommen mag, wenn Du das Bild mit den drei Schatten nicht druckst. Das warten hat sich gelohnt. Tolle Ergänzung Deiner Wand. Und auf die Idee mit den wartenden Fledermäuse am Bahnhof muss man erstmal kommen. Toll erkannt.
Vielen Dank Klaus!
Naja, vielleicht hätt ich das 3-Schatten Bild doch drucken sollen - vor allem schreit die Wand nach Querformat. War auf jeden Fall nah dran und ohne die Frau auf der Treppe hätt ichs wohl gedruckt - was wiederum heisst, ich sollte es eigentlich trotzdem tun.
@@thomasrhinow Die liebe Bildauswahl. Egal ob Anfänger, fortgeschritten oder Profi - das Thema wird einen immer begleiten.
Some of the ones that you wouldn't keep in color, may look better in a black & white format.. Just saying.. All-in-all, GREAT WORK!!
Thank you!
If color doesn't play a vital role, I do convert almost all images to b/w to compare. But if the light and/or the composition isn't good, b/w usually doesn't help to save it.
Cheers
EXCELLENT
Many thanks!
Nice video as always Thomas :-) What did you use to record the video?
Thank you Kees :)
I used mainly the Fuji XT-4, for the hyperlapse the DJI Pocket 2 and the Insta360 One X for the close-ups in the printing part. I've started to add this information at the end of the description.
@@thomasrhinow Thanks, I missed it, I stopped reading right after the specification of the music 😀
What printer and is that glossy paper?
Hi, it's the Epson SC-P800 and Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl, 285g glossy paper.
...darf ich mit einer Frage lästig sein? Fotografierst du gleich in monochrom oder wird es im Nachhinein erledigt?
BG Frank
Seriöse Fragen sind mir nie lästig und beantworte ich gerne!
Es käme mir nie in den Sinn, die s/w Wandlung der Kamera zu überlassen und ich würde auch niemandem dazu raten.
Generell gilt ja, je mehr Bildinformationen vorhanden sind, desto grösser die Möglichkeiten in der Nachbearbeitung. Deshalb fotografiere ich ausschliesslich im jeweiligen Raw Format und "Entwickle" die Bilder in Lightroom.
Durch die Farbinformationen erhält man bei der s/w Wandlung so viel mehr Gestaltungsspielraum weil man die Helligkeit einzelner Farbtöne gezielt einstellen kann.
Ein gutes Beispiel sind die Bilder des bemalten Tunnels. Da konnte ich die Helligkeitswerte der gelben und roten Flächen/Linien punktgenau einstellen.
Vielleicht wenn man eine ganz bestimmte Filmemulation erreichen möchte, könnte man über in-Kamera Wandlung nachdenken - aber auch nur, wenn diese Emulation nicht auch in der Nachbearbeitung erreichbar wäre.
Gruss
@@thomasrhinow ...sollte oder könnt man ja jpg+raw gut machen, dann ist ja überhaupt nix verloren ausser, dass man bei jpg schon eher eine Art Vorschau in s/w hat . Ich bin leider nicht so versiert in der Nachbearbeitung mit PS/LR und Co. 🤷
@@frankgurtler7316 Ja, das geht natürlich auch.
Zumindest in LR ist die s/w Nachbearbeitung recht einfach. Ich habe mir eine Reihe von s/w Filmemulationen heruntergeladen, welche ich meist als Startpunkt anwende und von dort aus meinen Feinschliff mache.
Was evtl. auch hilfreich sein könnte, ist die Vorschau im Display/EVF auf s/w zu stellen - wenn die Kamera dies zulässt.
Da ich (vor langer Zeit) mit der Fotografie analog s/w begonnen hatte, seh ich noch immer die Welt erst mal in s/w (muss den inneren Blick bewusst auf Farbe umschalten, wenn es farbig sein soll) und habe das noch nie benötigt.

I watched a couple of minutes, checked further in, and then gave up: I could not stand the background beat.
I'm sorry to hear this. As a 90s electronic child, I absolutely wanted to use such music in a video once and I think it fits the theme quite well. But maybe that's just me.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@thomasrhinow There's no accounting for taste!
...since this video is about photography and the visuals are the important thing here I think just muting the music that you find annoying could have helped. The photographs taken are well worth watching the clip. I am sorry you missed out. Btw... I also don't like the music but that's not why I watched this video. 😂
The music is a major distraction from the topic of this video
I stopped watching after 2 minutes
Sorry to hear. There's another track starting at 3:15 which might be less distracting for you.
Serious question: why wouldn’t you turn off the sound if the music bothers you since there is no voiceover?
