Some fun experiments of shooting flash and no flash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why I love the RICOH GR II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The news that RICOH GR III is here is good, but the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GR 3 doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have an integrated flash (I think the integrated flash is what makes the GR 2 so great). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I was curious \u00e2\u20ac\u201d so I did a bunch of experiments (shooting the same scene with flash and without flash) shot on RICOH GR II<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is my lessons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Flash photos (even during the day) look superior than non-flash photos. Flash photos have superior contrast, detail, and tones compared to non-flash photos. This even accounts for post-processing. <\/li>
  2. Using a flash greatly improves the sharpness and color saturation of photos.<\/li>
  3. If you want to make more aesthetically interesting photos, shoot it with a flash. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The flash photo looks so much better \u00e2\u20ac\u201d with the purple tones, the contrast, and the pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
