Is Ricoh GR III worth it in 2021 as street photography camera?

12/25/2020 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

If someone asked you what type of camera is the best for street photography, what would be your answer? In the early 2000s, when digital street photography was only for hipsters your answer would probably be some kind of stylish rangefinder, and, if you had an extra kidney to sell, maybe even a Leica M. This has all changed when Ricoh introduced the Ricoh GR in 2013 (also before that GR Digital series in 2005). Fast forward to 2019 and the new GR III took the street photography community by storm. And by that I mean - a lot of YouTube channels made videos about it.

The Briliant Use Of Complementary Colors In The Queen's Gambit

12/13/2020 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

What many photographers aspire to do is to be able to tell a story with the their images. To create pictures that make the viewer keep looking as they dig deeper and deeper into layers of the photograph. I know, easier said than done. When I am looking at pictures of great photography masters or famous paintings in the museums I often wonder what is it that captures my attention. I recently asked myself the same question again when watching the Netflix show Queen's Gambit. I came to a conclusion that one of the reasons are the backgrounds that make a lot of scenes visually interesting. It makes you not only look at the characters in the scene but your eyes often wonder amazed by the beautiful color combinations and shapes of the art deco interiors. Now, this is especially interesting for the color photographers so Let's take a look at the brilliant use of complementary in Queen's Gambit
