While the holiday season started (and I had no photography opportunity last weekend) I thought it was appropriate to come up with some older photographs (all Ricoh GX100 stuff by the way) from my 2007 vacation in Austria.
A rainbow as a temporary gate for the mountains of the Hohe Tauern.
A sunset view over Pinzgauer valley in Salzburgerland.
A local farmer at work.
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean tourists gather around the former house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

And some more…
I have tried to stay away from rumors speculating new cameras lately, but it seems likely that a new successor of the Ricoh GR Digital II will be announced very soon. Probably July 27 Ricoh will announce the GR Digital III. Although the camera will appear the same, it will probably come with a faster lens, a 28mm f/1.9 lens. I also expect the sensor size to be slightly larger, because the lens won’t be the former 5.9mm lens, but a 6mm lens. Besides the usual Program, Aperture and Manual mode it will now also have a Shutter speed mode and there will be a HDR feature where two photographs will be combined. See here for some additional information (photographs were removed at a ricohclub.net topic).

The tourist photo is great. I like tourist photos…
As for the GRD3: would be nice to see it, although a pity that the sensor still will be pretty small. Anyway, I am happy with by GRD2.
Martin Parr took so many photographs of tourists. It is well worth a project
I hope the wait for the GRD3 won’t take long, because even though the sensor remains slow I am curious how the quality will be in combination with the (probably) faster lens.
Well, maybe tourists would be a theme for the next edition of Shared Photography? (And what about that dinosaur? I´m curious…
I hope to be able to work on something
Wouter, nice work here, and the GRDIII will I’m sure inspire you to get out again and shoot more ! Not long now, it seems …
All the best,
Nick
The GRDIII won’t take long, and I am curious how they improved the image quality even though the sensor size is 1/1.7″. It remains a unique and inspiring camera though.
Cheers,
Wouter
Great shots Wouter. You got a rainbow in B&W!!!!! You are “the man!”
I welcome the news of the GRD3 and I will start saving my pennies. If this thing is 1.9 and has some form of HDR, then all the other issues had better be resolved. I can do without HDR and video.
It is actually my second rainbow in B&W I caught!
The lens is f/1.9 and the sensor is still CCD (I wouldn’t be suprised it will be the same sensor as the GX200).
The picture with the local farmer at work is great but I like the whole series.
As to the GRD III, this looks very pormising and it is more of what the GRD II should have been in terms of improvements.
I soon hope to be able to take more pictures of life on a farm. WRT the GRD III I had personally hoped for a larger sensor to fully outclass the DP1, but somehow I think Ricoh sees the Panasonic LX3 as a stronger competitor. And we, few photographers outside Japan, do often forget that the Ricoh cameras are topselling cameras in the land of the Rising Sun.
The rainbow shot is unreally beautiful
Thank you so much. I have unfortunately no sign though of the mistery fisherman
The hills are alive with the sound of… (sorry, just could’t resist that one)
The Hills, love the hills.
and the rainbow.
More if you have them.
All the Best
Oh yes, it is sound of music territory.
Wow, super shots. Particularly like those top two.
Thank you Mike!
