Flickr Turns 4

Here are a few photos from tonight’s Flickr Turns 4 party at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. I shot these with my new Ricoh GR Digital II. I’m still getting used to it, but so far it’s a really great 10-megapixal compact camera that shoots in RAW with excellent manual controls and great low-light performance, not to mention it’s damn sexy. Special thanks to James Home for the inspiration to buy one (he was shooting with his GR II at ETech).

UPDATE: More photos from WHAT IM SEEING dot com and Andrew Mager.

I’ve been thinking about gettin’ a Ricoh too. Maybe an R8 … but I’ll have to look more into the GR II.

Dig the B&W photos, Scott! How is the high ISO performance? I’ve heard a lot of good things about the “film-like” grain. Interested in a compact camera and right now waiting for Sigma’s forthcoming DP1 to see how it fares in the real world.

Most of the B&W photos are shot at 800 ISO. I guess it depends on your definition of high. I don’t think I would use 1600 ISO very much. In general I try to stay under 400 ISO.
