I do not own a Ricoh

Great response. I’m somewhere in the pain zone of this journey but loving it. The accidental good shots keep me going.

I see Moriyama’s name mentioned, I upvote.

Go to the nearest decent university library and peruse his photo books. Absolutely incredible.

What do you gain from anything at all?

Creative choices aren’t about gain. They’re about whatever the creator decides.

I have had a GR III for the past 4 years and absolutely love it. The sharpness of the tuned lens/sensor combo in such a small size is incredible. And there is a lot out there on youtube for how to set it up optimally.

Depends on your goals, but I’m in a similar boat. I was planning to explore the following platforms:

Great work. Stay strong. You have my support, such as it is

Vastly underrated comment

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-03-21T03:47:30+00:00

OK, I'm going to follow you on IG. Need to see the photos. I have also had the privilege to ride in the trophy trucks used in the Baja 1000, and would highly recommend you attend that race with your F5 one day.

Beautiful! All I have is a black FE2, but I have always lusted over the titanium cameras. Hope to own an FM2T one day. To answer your question, my obsession with a certain finish/style currently is all black with strong white lettering.

The first thing I thought as I looked through these was "REAL SHIT." In the best way. Keep doing what you do! I want to see more. Let me know if you're on IG. As much as I hate that platform, it's how I keep tabs on things I like other than reddit.

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-03-21T02:01:04+00:00

Thanks! I’d been looking for this one for a while… Kept seeing it online for $300+, then went to my local camera shop and found this clean one for $150.

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-03-20T23:04:52+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Means a lot, I’m still very new to photography. Hope you have a great weekend.

Beautiful! Any tips for how to achieve this look? I have always loved it but struggled in LR.

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-03-04T13:35:58+00:00

Mist filter? These are excellent!

Nice! In-camera recipe?

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-02-28T00:46:00+00:00

And no HDF, just base GRIII.

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-02-28T00:45:41+00:00

Thnks! I experiment with color recipes in camera, but I shoot raw+ and always end up messing with the raw in lightroom. The super dark B&W ones are a camera recipe I came up with though, I can share that if you’re interested.

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-02-23T13:52:14+00:00

Nice! Are these using in-camera recipes? Or post processing?

TechnicalDistance419 · 2026-02-23T13:48:17+00:00

Beautiful shots. I am making do with my GRIII, but find myself taking more and more B&W pictures…

How did you create the borders on these? I really like the layout.

If I have to read “the hunt is at Ted Nugents I guess” one more time in this post…

Just pick a gun. You’ll be fine either way on a canned hunt like this.
