More shots taken with the Ricoh GRD?
Yes! I’ve been putting the camera through it’s paces recently and above are some more shots I took yesterday, fresh from my garden mostly.
I’ve got some more monochrome work done with the Ricoh GRD I coming up very soon also. Hope you like these attempts anyway!

ME & MY PASSION!
ok, you probably looked at the length of this "about me" page and thought, god, what's wrong with this guy!....does he have to start telling us his life story or something!!? well, youve come here now anyways, so why not hear what im like as a person, eh?
ive been using film cameras for well over 30 years...my first one being the family yashicamat twin lens! over the years, ive both bought sold and collected film cameras...too many to tell the truth!
in fact, ive been buying and selling cameras well before the internet came on the scene, so anything you purchase from me is backed by my self-styled moneyback promise.....if you dont like what youve bought, send it back within 14 days and you get all your money back...no arguments!!
WHERE I STAND ON THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION!
yes, i do use digital as well, but only as a ready-reckoner...i try and take most shots with my simple 2megapixel digicam....if the shot looks good, i pull out my film camera and shoot!
i most defintely do not believe in digital manipulation of photographs....that in my eyes is not photography...its cheating!
WHERE I USED TO LIVE, WHERE I AM NOW & WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO!
i used to live in Ontario, Canada, but moved back to the UK a little while ago (its a long story..!)...but now i'm living in the one place i always wanted to be...Vancouver, BC..the next best thing to paradise on earth!
as i work as a freelance writer as well as other things, i often find hat my work takes me to europe for short spells, so i get to travel a lot...not a blessing, as i just hate long flights!
im a qualified Quality Assurance guy (you know...ISO 9000, auditing, documentation etc) ....99% of my skill-set is transferable so i can handle any admin or documentation-related roles....see you in BC! otherwise, i specialise in ISO 9000 auditing and documentation.
my dream? to have my own thriving camera shop in Vancouver BC, whilst living in the mountains somewhere.....the best of both worlds!

You look like you have and interesting garden, do show more, please. The images are lovely, love the composition of that poppy.
Aww.. Thank you for your overly-kind comments! Im sure these are nothing but trifles compared to your shots! Still, I get a kind of a kick doing this…sitting at my desk typing virtually all morning and afternoon is no fun, so I tend to jump off whenever I can, straight into the garden. The poppies were here when I rented the place..but they do add a pleasant colour to everything. My time in London, UK is almost finished now so Im trying to get to central downtown if I can to get some shots of the real London!
