One of the selling points of the Ricoh GR III compact APS-C camera is the IBIS system (In-Body Image Stabilization), which is claimed to allow the user to handhold up to one second. I put this to the test in this night video, where I'm able to show the long-exposure by using passing cars in a small town, creating light-trails on Main Street.
This was a spur of the moment attempt, but I was very pleased with the results. Having thought through the process, I would have used the 2-second delay shutter to make sure to minimize camera shake even more while holding it in my hands instead of using a tripod. I also only went down to .8 seconds (next step is one full second), as again, I hadn't thought about going as low as possible, it was just an attempt at the time to get a decent light-trail.

The Ricoh GR III captures neon signs at night very well, but keeping the ISO down to a minimum is very important. The higher the ISO, the more light noise you will get in your shadows and blacks. While the Ricoh GR III does a great job with these shadows, it sometimes needs your help to keep the noise down.
In this video, I drive around Indianapolis' southside and photograph businesses with neon signs in hopes of making some interesting night images. I also explain the settings I'm using, and why I'm using them. I'm in the middle of experimentation of night photography with my Ricoh GR III, so check back weekly for more videos like this. However, you do not need to own a Ricoh GR III for these settings to work with your camera.
The Ricoh GR III is well-known for it's street photography supremacy, but it's a very versatile camera that can be used in a variety of situations, including night photography.
Night photography camera settings can be any number of combinations of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. In this video, I use my Ricoh GR III to take photos at dusk and dark in a small town. I provide settings info for most of the photos, including a hand-held 1/8 second shutter speed, and another photo shot at 10,000 ISO. The Ricoh GR III handled both of those shots with great results, as well as the other photos in the video.
This is part one of at least two or three part series, with more to come in the next couple of weeks.
Street Photography Point-of-View 33 continues our first outing of the 2021 season, which we step up by adding a second GoPro 7 Black to the photowalk, giving even more visual aid to viewers learning how to use Snap Focus and the other many features in this Ricoh GR III Review video, including camera techniques, tips and street settings for any camera.
Snap focus on the Ricoh GR III allows you to set a focal length and not worry about focusing on your subject, making it the perfect camera for Street Photography, or just walking around snapping photos. You can purchase this camera, or any of the accessories in the description section of my Youtube videos.
How to Shoot One-Second Handheld Photos with the Ricoh GR III Compact Street Photography Camera2/12/2021
What is that shaking noise in your new camera? Is it broken? Well, maybe, but if it's the Ricoh GR III then odds are it's not broken at all ... it's suppose to sound like that! It's called IBIS, and stands for In-body, Image Stabilization.
In this video, I give a brief description of how IBIS works in the Ricoh GR III, along with a POV shoot of an old barn in a snowy field to test the one-second photo capabilities of this system. Can a photo with clarity and no blur be taken handheld at one-second? I attempt it in this video, to see if possible. While it's not something that would likely be needed, it's interesting to see if it can be done, or at least how well it can be done. Added to the one-second handheld test, it was 19' degrees fahrenheit and I was wearing sweatpants, a sweat jacket, and tennis shoes. It was not a well thought out trial to say the least. But we made the attempt. The video will give the results! |
