Digital photography

My Ricoh GR2 died and current prices are out of budget so I picked up an original Ricoh GR Digital 8.1mp.

I was in Holborn early the other morning and took the opportunity to take a shot of this building with no one around

..very nice! 👍

Walked passed here this evening and it was empty too, was tempted to take a pic to do an evening comparison, but was in a rush

New to photography. I was told DS Colour Labs provide free prints, you just have to pay for postage, but I can't find where or how to do this on their site.
Any suggestions of a similar set up or how to get the free prints on DS would be helpful. Cheers.

In the meantime. For the scrap yard. I wanted the Edinburgh Bicycle Courier but it weighed a tonne!

Are these seriously being scrapped? There are numerous charities that would take these and fix them up, not to mention that some would sell on eBay, that Peugeot for sure

Understandable outrage but they were outside a bike charity waiting to be collected for scrap metal. They were too far beyond repair

Can't have been looked over that closely, perfectly usable looking RockBros bell on that trek. Surely you'd take that off to put on another bike at a bike charity?

Surely loads of those callipers, seatposts could come off to be reused?

On you go then. Bike Station, edinburgh. Give them a call.

That's beautiful Will

Yeah this is an amazing shot.

Thanks both. I only zoomed in because we were trying to identify the bird (still don't know though I think it might be Patrick) so was surprised how it turned out.

Female Kestrel would be my best guess. Fab pic.

I bought a couple Japanese toy cameras via Buyee recently. Definitely not pixel peeper stuff.

The cheese camera is quite rubbish, stretches images vertically it seems. Super pocketable though.

The other is a Harinezumi v1. Has a broken battery door hence the rubber band around it but it was half too a third the cost of buying one in the uk.

These images are from it and are pretty awesome I think if you like this kind of thing.

Nice shots! 👍

love the aesthetic, reminds me of the outputs from an Holga camera. i especially like the one of the lamp post. definitely intrigued by the camera.

Cheers, yeah very Holga-sequel I’d say.

I’ve been really enjoying using it, it’s so pocketable.

Took the cheese camera out the other evening and it’s so bad. It’s almost painterly. The video out of it has quite a ‘look’ But the stills are pretty horrendous.

Insta link as I haven't got access to the files at the moment.

Here’s a couple I took on the Harinezumi yesterday though.

excellent - particularly the kerbside TV.

I have the first version of the camera, it’s 3mp and pretty rudimentary in terms of options (hi/lo quality, 100 or 800 iso, that’s about it) there are at least 3 more versions of it but supposedly only the first one has the sensor that natively produces images that look like this. The others are all ‘better’, having higher resolution I think and more options like b&w and different colour modes and maybe the screen does live view which mine doesn’t, but they don’t have the same look.

With no live view and no viewfinder (there’s a flip up frame on top but it’s pretty useless) framing shots is somewhat tricky but I want to try and get into the habit of just taking what I get first time.

Awesome. Particularly like the middle one.

Looks a bit like Dorset. Where is it?

North Devon/Cornwall border.
