After a few years of being a happy Canon DSLR user (EOS 400D, EOS 50D with various prime and zoom lenses), I realized I started to neglect the fundamental aspects of photography. I was relying too much on the equipment due to its good performances and comfortable settings. It was getting too easy, I was loosing interest and the quality of my pictures was decreasing.
The gear dimension and weight didn't help to improve my mood so as result I was leaving my cameras at home more and more often.
I was on the right way to loose interest in photography almost without realizing it.
Around the end of last year I decided it was time for a radical change, I needed a more difficult tool which would force me to learn again the joy of photography and which I could bring with me every day without problems.
I spent few weeks to identify the shortlist of suitable cameras and at the end without any doubt I ordered one Ricoh GR Digital III.
Within the not many alternatives (Sigma DP2, various micro 4/3, still on the way Leica X1), the GRD III was the one which I fell in love with. In a later post, I will write more about the rational and emotional reasons behind this choice of mine.
This blog is about a new photographic experience, about the relationship between the photographer and his camera.
It is not about technical digital details such noise at 200% crop but about emotions and feeling.
