Life in Pictures - June 2023

Richard Ing -

I'm now an official owner of a Ricoh GRIII thanks to my friend who loaned me this exact camera in May. Since owning the device I've become more accustomed with the features it offers, in particular the film filter recipes which give me various looks at the flick of a dial.

I've really fallen in love with the film look filters that the Ricoh is capable of. There is an enormous online community that shares both photos and filter recipes which are the settings they use to achieve certain looks. My go to for filter recipes is https://ricohrecipes.com/

For the most part, I've been taking photos casually and haven't tried to learn the technical side of photography. During a pub lunch, my mate Kwa who's a professional photographer (https://kphotography.pixieset.com/) taught me a valuable lesson in exposure and how when paired with auto-modes it can really improve the shots. This was simple but game changing for me and meant shots which were too dark could easily be resolved!

So, here's my June in pictures.

My favourite reading corner when the afternoon light filters in
Capturing the gradeating magenta winter evening sky
Getting to experience the joys of writing a friend's typewriter.
A boys' day of meditation, gratefulness, food, beer and amazing chats.
Snap of a pub where we chilled and hung out for my cousin's birthday
Indulging with decadent fresh black truffle and wagyu with the family
Arts and crafts for the little one
Enamoured in the lights from Vivid 2023
Soaking in the harbour shining brilliantly as part of Vivid 2023
Hypnotised by the lights
My son curiously watching his grandma fix a piece of clothing.
Taking life slow makes better coffee art
Teaching my son the art of espresso making
