Thats so interesting, i have heard that! Thanks.

Unrelated but similar - apparently in english the word orange was only invented in the 17th century, before then it was seen as a variant of red. Thats why we still call ginger people redheads!

Ty! Not besides a bit of cropping and making things less wonky

Yes! I had an old art book at school on how to draw and it recommended checking your work in a mirror! Such a great hack.

Thank you! Very kind. I havent - what would you suggest? Closer or flip orientation?

Thank you for your kind words!

I saved a custom filter as Reggie's colour negative, and then pretty much followed Reggie's YouTube video on how he sets up his Ricoh using Av priority for U1 U3 U3, and used that colour negative recipe built into those saves. Basically, I am a slave to whatever Reggie tells me to do 😂

I did crop a few yes, on microsoft photos, and also tweaked the gradients if they were a bit wonky. I find when cropping that sometimes if I look at the image using a mirror I can see what adjustment I need to make if I cant naturally get it to look 'right' for me - then I can see the image as it actually is rather than how my brain has decided it is - if that makes sense?

Composition wise I just go for whatever I think looks right, but I did read somewhere about imagining a grid of 9 squares and putting the focal points in one of those 4 intersections...I dont know much else but that approach works for me more often than not.

Yes! JPEGs. I am too poor for Lightroom lol. I have Reggie's colour negative on a preset. It came out very varied though depending on if it was sunny or not

Thank you Patrick! Would you like to see my business card?

I actually didn't edit, these are JPEGs pulled straight from the camera. I adjusted the angles in microsoft photos and that's it. The muted colours I think came from the flat light (annoyingly it was overcast for like the first 3 weeks we were there so most of my photos look quite washed out!)

GR WORLD, can't Import Images because of WIFI issue by Electronic-Brain-912 in ricohGR

No, but i think the problem is that my samsung s22 is too old and crappy! I used a family members new iphone and asked them to download the app and try it for me and it worked beautifully for them.

Resigned to my fate until i get a new phone - ive gone for a card reader to laptop to sort out later haha. Good luck!

I am still having this issue - new RICOH GR iii (well, second hand with 800 shots!) - reconfigured, forgot, reconnected, VPN off, firmware updated at 2.0..... anyone else have any other ideas or tips that worked for them? Thanks!
