Fun Run
I hated the Sony ZV1 and the Canon G1x III that both attempted to replace my 2x broken Ricoh GR3's so now I bought a third Ricoh GR3... the Diary edition, which I shall refer to as the dairy edition. I am heading back to Korea with it soon and have been playing around with some new lightroom presets I made designed to over sharpen and over HDR the photo's distastefully.
A nearby nightclub entrance. I used lightrooms transform geometry tools to make it square.
A bagel shop. This is the light I enjoy.
Today is the 'run for the kids' which occurs once per year but seems more like 6x a year. The streets are closed, so it is good for photos.
Under the train bridge. After checking this out I modified my preset a bit, which separates the foreground from the sky, I was boosting the foreground shadows too much so have pulled them back a bit.
More trains and people running. My only edit is to add my preset.
Quite a big crop on this one, but I like the subject separation, or appearance of 3dness or something. Micro contrast? I do not know, but it is why I think the Ricoh is a far better camera than all others I have owned.
These helicopters fly between buildings taking people on joy flights. None have hit a building yet, but they closed down for a while when one with 4 people on board hit a hill on the edge of the city and killed everyone. I hate helicopters.
I hate helicopters but love the colour of this.
The formula one grand prix is on here next week, so some merch shops have opened along the fun run route.
These cars are for a different charity, they adversise for participants near the formula one merch stands.
Melbourne now has a number of floating barge nightclubs like this one. Unfortunately the sky in this direction is a bit smoky today.
A view from a bridge.
And now, the main intersection where all the trouble unfolds.
And finally, a shot of the main station, which I always include to compare to cameras of the past.
