Ricoh GR1v & Neopan 1600 pushed to ISO 3200 (04/06/2012)

Hello world,


I'm finally back from a two week break in Japan, where I stayed in Osaka, visited Tokyo, Kobe, Kyoto and many small towns in the Kansai region.


As a result of my absence, I have was only able to write only two blog posts (although of rather more substantial depth than my usual musings and photos). If you haven't read them yet, I suggest you scroll down and have a look.


I took my Ricoh GR1v and Olympus OM-D E-M5 with my on my trip. I shot a couple of thousand frames on digital, 4 rolls of black & white 35mm film and 2 rolls of colour 35mm film. So I'll be slowly processing and editing my Japan street photography and developing those few rolls of film. This means you can look forward to at least a couple of months worth of content from my Japan.


For now, have a look at some photos from the nifty Ricoh GR1v shot in London to test out the camera.
If enough people are interested I can do a quick review of this camera. Leave a comment below.

Hello again friends. If you're reading this, I'd like to thank you for visiting the blog and if you've a returning viewer then you are doubly thanked... :) Why not take a minute and leave a comment, mentioning which photos you really like or dislike?


I've just received my developed scans from a roll of Kodak Tmax 3200 film I started shooting on Halloween night. I finished the roll around a week ago and here it is on the blog.


It's the fastest film I've ever shot, but I'm pleasantly surprised by it's performance as almost the whole roll was shot in very dark conditions.
