So here you are, showcasing a few shots of my coffee stroll in this Tai Hang community few days ago. I don’t remember which coffee shop in the community has got plenty of recognition by media and stuff. I’m sure this is not the one i once saw on a magazine. I remember there were outdoor seats in the picture. Clearly there wasn’t one. It was a freezing day in Hong Kong, around 10ºc. I needed a warm cup of joe..
Those pictures were taken with my Ricoh GRD IV, ISO 160-320 – without image filter. I had problem getting the correct colors i want. The WB correction does not have yellow?! There’s only blue, red, pink and green to adjust with. I’m still reading the manual to see if it can be adjusted the way i want…
The lens on this compact has a deep DOF. It’s making me to think more about composition. I found it a bit bugging for me during this adjustment period. Today, I only went out with my Ricoh. I scratched my head on how to get the best shot out of it. The image filters are great addition to expand the possibility, I am experimenting a bit too much with different filters on the same view. In other words, i get distracted. Perhaps it’s the cloudy, foggy weather making me want to play with filters. Or is it the straight out of the camera colors are not promising? I still don’t know. I hope i’ll find a solution real soon.
I did a tiny bit of tuning on hues.
