These scenes are pretty similar, but captured with different cameras and focal lengths. While I do like using the SLR with a 50mm lens, it is fun, excitement, and joy of the GRDIII that really excites me.

It’s amazing, the DOF is almost similar despite the different sensor sizes. I checked the EXIF and noticed that you used a SLR Canon EOS 10D f-stop unknown 1/2000sec ISO-100 and the compact RICOH GR DIGITAL 3 f1/9 1/160sec ISO-100.
I used a Pentacon 50mm at f/1.8 which gives a bit more creamy bokeh, but I am still surprised by the bokeh of the GRD lens.
I just came across your blog … and I really like it. Lovely photos!! I’ll be back 🙂
Kiitos Kerstin!
Two different, but great interpretations. Because of the beautiful colors, the first one is the “winner” for me.
Did a lot of shooting with the 20D/50mm myself last week for my http://50millimeter.tumblr.com project. Need to get used to processing non-phoneshots again, but quite happy with the first results.
Nice new layout, by the way.
That is what I encounter too. The look, dynamic range, and in particular the midtones are completely different. But mostly it forces to photograph differently.
I like the new blog look Wouter.
I love the first one, soft, soft light (although hard in whites), but it gives a true summer feeling!
One of the reason I use old legacy lenses is that it gives me a more soft and less contrasty look. It helps me to achieve a dreamy feeling with a minimal amount of post processing.
The color shot transports so much of the summer emotion I am missing this year (thankfully only due to living where the summer is endless). Really beautiful! Would you mind sharing how you did the post-processing?
I just used a preset in Lightroom which gives a pretty look. I only had to tweak a little bit.
Preset magic! 🙂
Mooie lay-out Wouter! Vind je eerste foto met die subtiele kleuren erg mooi.
Groetjes vanuit Noorwegen.
Bedankt! Geniet van Noorwegen!
WOW! Congratulation for nice layout! Continue following your amazing blog as well as photos!
