Ricoh GR and the Fader ND filter

Today I’m setting up the Ricoh GR with the Fader ND filter. Strolling around my neighbourhood, the overcast-with-no-sun-visible lighting condition making me to experiment with up to 2 seconds exposures.

Here is the Ricoh with the filter setup:

The first attempt on the setting is using an 8 seconds exposure shot. In a natural lit room with a very subtle window light, what could be better than doing a selfie test?!? haha.

I hit the road and coming up with these three trees at the sidewalk.

[f/6.3 1/30s iso400]

Then, a few shot taken from an artificial pond near my workplace. Some panning could be nice, I think… here they are:

[f/8 1s iso400]

[f/14 2s iso400]

on a more stable ground: (I don’t carry a tripod)
[f/14 2s iso400]

What I do like doing such kind of experimentation is at times I need to trust my intuition on the image making process.

[f/16 3.2s iso400]

With some cropping and straightening:
[f/8 1/2s iso400]

Still with the Fader on the camera, I try to do a speedier kind of image.

That’s all for today’s experimentation.
