The first shot was taken with the (sweet) Ricoh GrD3. Well, reality is boring and the black and white image is the further from reality and that’s why I like it better as a photograph.
Is it the simple fact that being in black and white adds an extra layer of seriousness?Įven my father likes the Contax one better. Is it the lens? The “famous” bokeh? Is is the light? Does my father look better? Is it a better angle? Is it the rabbit? When it comes to photography both were made carelessly, both were made for that family album however, one looks so much more special. I can imagine having the Contax picture hanging on a wall and the digital one kept in a family album. The digital one only has sentimental value, the second one has both sentimental and photographic value. When I look at both I feel the Contax one more appealing as a “photograph”. The camera did a great job and, again, I was not aiming for an artistic picture, just another casual snap. It was a sunny day and we were in the shade. My fault but I was not aiming for an artistic capture, just a casual snap. Okay… it’s a pretty nice picture, the day was kind of cloudy, the camera did a good job, maybe a bit on the underexposed side. The first picture was taken with the digital Canon 5D and the cheap 50mm/f1.8 and yes… I’m going to say it… straight out of the camera!
Let me share two pictures with you as an example. Every picture I take is a wish not a capture of reality.
