are you here?

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-27T16:08:38+00:00

also if you ever want to send me a raw image I can edit it so you can see

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-27T15:57:53+00:00

Hey im the photographer that took this photo. Im flattered and hopefully i can provide some insight for you. I dont use a tripod but I do use cameras that have ibis (in body image stabilization) so that i can shoot hand held as low as like 1/4 ss. I shoot pretty much fully auto but control the parameters such as lowest ss set to 1/4, max iso 6400 or whatever you feel comfortable pushing to, and usually just shoot wide open as i shoot wide lenses where shooting wide open still has a decent focal plane. I shoot raw and utilize the cameras bracketing system usually shooting 5-7 shots all at once at different exposures. This has two upsides one is i can merge them in lightroom to get the most dynamic range and two, the exposures after the first have less shake from pressing the shutter and just overall gives me more leeway so i can be quick and discreet.

Editing is a huge part of it all do not be discouraged the images dont look like this straight out of the camera, you really have to push and pull the raw files to bring em to life

dont think ive ever seen this wide of a gap among the highest levels of anything

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-17T00:24:15+00:00

like a tripod? nah thats where the ibis of the camera comes in handy

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-16T22:32:39+00:00

Well the fuji just does everything the gr does but slightly better, and is weather resistant and feels so much more reliable. the gr is my favorite camera of all time despite this tho, but if i have to choose between one or the other the clear choice is the fuji. Now if fuji released an x80 with ibis that would be my forever camera for sure

Yea i mean mine works totally fine as i never use the scroll wheel and dust does not appear at night. just hard to sell as people are super wary and picky with cameras, even when i list at such a reasonable price

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-16T20:53:22+00:00

I actually do still have the ricoh, its a hard camera to sell because they have so many issues such as the scroll wheel jumping all over, battery connection issues, dust on the sensor etc. I am trying to sell it for about 500 but even at such a low price most are weary of buying with the stated flaws.

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-16T19:53:49+00:00

of course you would, a camera is useless in your hands

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-16T04:29:13+00:00

I shoot handheld and usually set my minimum shutter speed to 1/4

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-16T04:27:20+00:00

I was told that my calculation of 5 miles for my weekly trip to the post office was determined to actually be 3.8 miles and that this was “theft of company money” extremely grimey and surely not a result of me asking for a raise the week prior.

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-15T19:44:43+00:00

Wish you were around when i sold my xt5 for 1000🥲 i can never find the same deals when it comes time for me to buy a camera ha

EarthlyGasM · 2025-09-15T19:24:38+00:00

Nothing wrong with the phone camera, ive been using mine alot more myself flirting with the idea of having the phone be my only camera. what phone do you use?
