- Improve your photography by using the Ricoh GRIII & GRIII X crop modes. I've tested them all for street photography - 28mm, 35mm, 50mm / 40mm, 50mm, 71mm. they all have their special case uses on the streets. From framing, compression, details and street portraits, I take a deep dive into every single crop mode.
It's a learning experience that's not only educational but also great fun!

The RICOH GR content I was searching for. Brilliant work my man.
Thank you very much. Glad I could help 🙏
Very nice shots! Thank you.
Many thanks!
I've just come across your channel and I must say that I'm much impressed. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated. That means allot 👍
Thank you thank you thank you
Love your channel
Make me calm and also be able to learning photography
You are such a talent !!!
Thanks
My pleasure. Thank you for the lovely comment. I really appreciate it 🙏
Very instructive video and superb shots !
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it 🙏
Thanks for the tips❤
Any time
Nice video! You bought up an interesting point about these GR cameras that is often overlooked. I think a lot of people are reticent to use the crop modes because they feel that they'll lose out to the lower resolutions. The fact is that 15mp and 7mp images are totally fine for social media. I think that I'll be experimenting with all these focal lengths to diversify my photography in future. Cheers
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your feedback. You are right. These 7.5 megapixel photos are fine, they’re perfectly usable. I hope you find shooting with these crop modes as useful as I did. 👍
Thanks and never used this on my GRIII. A lack of pixels can be compensated by several tools in post these days.
Thanks. I appreciate it. There are many tools to upscale photos, but I was surprised that when I zoomed into the cropped photos, they looked absolutely fine.
Beautiful shots!
Thank you.
Great video, liked and subbed immediately. I get people who are prejudiced against crop modes, but they really need to break that if they're using a GR, because what makes this little camera so convenient for crop modes is the razor sharp lens & image stabilization combo. 15mp 35mm crop photos are near perfect, and even 7mp 50mm crops are more than OK for digital use (blog posts, social media, etc). The ability to get sharp and beautiful images at 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm makes the GR one of the most versatile cameras on the market. So unless they're getting large prints, I encourage anyone who owns this tiny pocket rocket to use, at least experiment with, the crop modes more.
Thank you man. I really appreciate your feedback and your sub. I whole heartedly agree. The lens of these cameras are so good which is why you can use the crop modes and still get great shots 👍
Joe - thanks! I do like 35mm. I've never used these in camera crops but have cropped in post from time to time. Think I should try it!
Go for it! You won’t regret it. Thank you for your feedback 🙏
My favorite focal length used to be 35mm on my Fuji X100 but I switched to 28mm with a Ricoh GRIII and a Q2. The first reason is that I like to have some context around my subject and,also secondly, because it gives more possibilities of cropping.
Thank you for your comment. I completely see your point. I do alot of cropping at 28mm as well. Although, I wish I could get in closer more often ,at 28, and utilise the whole sensor without cropping. I find it is great for landscapes and seascapes with people in the scene, though, and also architecture style street photography. Have a great week.
Thanks Joe, i am really enjoying your videos. I watched the other one of yours going through the various jpeg profiles. I have ordered a GR3 diary thats all i could get in Australia. Everything else on back order till end of July. Also interesting is the crop modes in this video, so very helpful. I am also interested in how you set up this selfie stick. Can you explain how to set up and use for the GR3 please. I love the tripod on it so small to pack away. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jill, thank your positive comments. I really appreciate them . I’m glad you’re enjoying your camera, it’s a great little tool for photography.
I have a disability, so the selfie stick, literally just screws into the bottom of the camera and I use it to hold the camera. I cannot use it without one.
I have a video on setting up for night photography, but I do not have one yet for setting it up in general. Check out this video by this street Photographer on setting it up. He does a brilliant job of taking you through the settings.

@@joeredski thanks so much. Also loved the photos of Brighton Beach, our go to beach when we used to live in London before emigrating to West Australia many years ago. The beach area hasn’t changed much over the years. In my beatnik days we used to have Raves down there. Now I’m older but still like offbeat things. My camera has yet to arrive. So taking notes for when it does. I’ve been and still will be a Fuji user, as I love their jpegs too.
Very informative video. By the way, what film recipe did you use for these photos? Lovely colors.
Thank you very much. I shot in RAW and used my own Preset.
@@joeredski I see. Very nice. Thanks
Hi Joe, nice video, very interesting option. Regarding details of these crop modes, have you seen differences in details and sharpness between GRIII and GRIIIx? I’ve heard GRIII is noticeably softer than GRIIIx. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment.I haven’t seen any difference at all. They are both as sharp as each other.
Appreciate your GR videos. Question: why not just crop in post? That way you aren’t limited to 3 focal lengths. Does that make any difference to image quality as compared to the preset crop modes?
My Fujifilm XF10 has this feature, 28, 35 and 50mm. I have two questions. Are these just digital crops in camera and if they are does that mean that any distortion (barrel effect for example) of the 28mm setting get carried into the crop? It would seem to. me that must be the case.
Thanks for the comment. They are digital crops, but I don’t see any barrel distortion. You don’t get much barrel distortion with these fixed lens cameras.
Like your content Joe, just fix the volume its hard to hear
Thank you. I’m sorry about the volume . I will fix it.
Dear Joe!
I would like to buy the Street Photography Presets on your website, but the "add to cart" button does not work. Please check it to make it work.
Thank you.
Hello, so sorry for any issues. I have fixed it now. 🙏
@@joeredskiThank you, it's done now! Super!🙂
