I swear I have no idea how someone can get this much detail with a point and shoot camera at 4:14, it almost looks like it was shot with a medium format camera. Unreal bro keep it up
Hey Willem, in case that help, on the channel "Bad Flashes" there's a guide on how to still fully use this Ricoh with broken screen - "Ricoh R1 Button Guide"
I love the Ricoh R1, so small and lightweight, but no compromises when it comes to image quality. Got mine at a flea market for 3€ ($ 3.30). Greetings from Germany :)
greetings from South North America, I have a vivitar 220 sl I love it and its weight i also got mine from a thrift store next time im in the market for a good quality film camera i will check it out .thank you for your comment ! -idroopedmyspatula
@@elioqu Awsome, if you want a cheap but very professional Film Camera with perfect lightmetering you should check out the Nikon N90/s. From the many film cameras I own, this is my favorite, because its so awsome to use it due its professional buildquality and your photos will always be exposed perfectly.
@@florian5900 thank you so much I will have to try Thank you again hope both sides of your pillow are the perfectly chilled and you never have a warm pillow
My aunt got me a working sony cyber shot a few months ago. Being able to just exercise photography and having a good flash is SO NICE. Not worrying about results, just focusing on the process. It's been liberating and i got so many keepers and memories.
Any point and shoot camera just brings back that initial child like joy you had when you were first shooting. I shoot digital, but I love my Ricoh GR III. It's always in my pocket, and when I need a photo fix, it's there with me.
Dude the flash photos of the Cholla Cacti and the Joshua Trees were sooo good! I really like the R1 it's such a fun camera to use because of its TINY size
I love all of your videos but these ones where you take a little point and shoot and have fun with it are my absolute favourite and biggest inspiration!
Just Got an R1 at an estate sale and I'm loving it, and it has a broken LCD too. This however, is a problem I'm pretty positive is solvable and when I can get my hands on the equipment I need I'll fix mine, and try buying some others to fix as well. For now I've memorized the modes and pull out the PDF of the manual to refresh my terrible memory
Thanks so much for this one! Back in the 1990's I had the most amazing point and shoot Nikon 28mm and was studying forests and would spend almost an entire Summer on the same roll of fillm... 88 times out of a hundred I'd spend a really long time setting up a shot only to decide to not click the button because the photo wasn't going to work. If you ever head out to the PNW and want to view my work and do photography I'd be happy to accommodate whatever you need on your travels!
Hey Willem, this question might be alittle late. How did you deal with the lack of film counter, to know that your roll of film was done? I've been looking for a good compact p&s but just didnt want to drop $ on something that would inevitably spoil. the LCD dying on the R1 seemed like the least problematic but just wanted to know about the film roll situation. Cheers!
The Ricoh R1 was the first film camera I really loved. It was ALWAYS in my left pocket and I was able to capture tons of unique moments. I loved the wide 28mm lens. The camera is almost great but it suffers from several small design flaws that hold it back from its true potential. The on/off button is a strange design choice since it is mushy and small. Over time, I learned how to grab the camera so that my thumb would be on the button and I could quickly turn it on and off. The viewfinder is also pretty tiny which is an issue with lots of smaller cameras, but since the lens is so wide I was able to hip fire most of my shots. The biggest issue with the camera is the screen on top that breaks every time. I became so comfortable with this camera that this was not an issue for me. I knew what buttons to press for each mode, I just wished that I could see how many shots had left in the roll. After one too many drops of my R1, I knocked loose the focusing mechanism and it was no longer able to focus. RIP. The Ricoh R1 is an awesome camera. One of its kind. There are no other point and shoots that are as small and pocketable with a solid lens. I have heard that the GR1 fixes some of these issues, but it's a shame that a perfect point and shoot does not exist.
@@adnamamedia I have been interested in the big minis, but I have heard they are not built particularly well and die frequently but there are also lots of different versions. How does yours feel? Do you think it will hold up over time?
The replacement camera you will lust after is the Ricoh GR10 . Go out & snap one before they get over priced . YOU need to do this now, you will feel at home with this camera in your hand like a friend . Do it . DO IT NOW. a Ricoh GR10 .
Loved this video like so much, just had a question cause I really wanna start film photography and I'm not quite sure what film to use with my Nikon Zoom 800
Great idea of the limitation of a point and shoot! I like how you leverage the flash for creative lighting too. I don't typically use flash but I might try it sometimes. Cheers.
Whoa, I've never seen LA and the California desert look so beautiful! (It's going to be time for another photo book). These photos are amazing. I think I could give you a cardboard box with a pinhole in it, and you would make beautiful photographs. Cheers!
I recently got my late grandpa’s Ricoh R1 and unfortunately every frame ends up with light leaks and the frame not being aligned properly with the shutter. Not sure how to fix it but its an amazing feeling camera, so I’m definitely going to get it repaired.
My R1 also had light leaks, I figured out that mine came from the film stock display window. I put a piece of tape over this window and I no longer had light leaks. Good luck!
Down load the manual & scribble some notes. That's what I did with my 1st. Ricoh R1. Then I jammed a slither of credit card in the panoramic mechanical curtain & locked it on 30mm panoramic full frame . It's now a dedicated 30mm R1 . Sure you get a little vignetting & the flash struggles to keep up . But the images are . . . widerra .
Just realizing the first beach photos were from Crystal Cove State Beach. You definitely need to visit the historic beach house there where they filmed tons of movies. The old lady caretaker is so kind.
I like 40mm angle of view and their equivalents. I use a Ricoh 35ZF with a 40mm f2..8 Rikenon lens, and a 4x5 press camera with a Schneider 135mm 4.7 lens which is 40mm eq. I also have a Cosmic Symbol with a 40mm f4 as a spare.
Omg! I so wish I had a camera. Your videos are literally so amazing. You are an inspiration to me and many others. Keep doing the amazing work. My dream is to buy a camera and start a photography blog.
Don’t know if you can answer this but when are the long weekend bags restocking ?? I ordered a strap and a bag and didn’t know that it was for a preorder for the bag And it would hood my strap until the bag is ready
I saw one of your videos and you mentioned a Photobook of Polaroids which contained very simplistic and beautiful compositions...I cannot remember which video or the name of the book!.. Do you know which one I am talking about?..
Just picked this up because of your videos on it! I’m shooting a roll of portra through it now. Is there a way to know when your out of exposures? Or do I have to keep track? *my lcd screen is broken
WILLEM CHALLENGE!!! On your next trip bringing the awesome Allison with you...... with both of you with a point and shoot.... have a shoot off with images taken within a certain area. It would be interesting to see the difference in your styles and vision.
Yo willem love your vids a lot. Would you mind including some raw shots as well so we could see how the edit improves the photos you take? I think I have some unrealistic expectations of my photos sometimes because I’m not sure what the raws would look like
I have this same issue. I've been trying to work on my editing, but it's still hard to not be disappointed sometimes lol. I used to not edit my scans at all, and later realized that some editing/correcting is not a bad thing and literally everyone does it but for some reason I didn't think they did, and it was super discouraging for me for a while when getting my scans back
Nice and relaxing vid and great shots! I got an R1 after your non-recommendation in the last one, had a working LCD and a non-working lens motor, managed to fix the lens and semi-broke the LCD in the process lol. shots look great tho!
I have stopped trying to be all full time artsy fartsy and embraced the point and shoot lifestyle. There’s definitely a time and place for detailed compositions and exposure calculations, however I’ve lost too many opportunities while dicking around with everything but the shutter release.

A good scan goes a long way! I got high res scans from Richards photo lab in Santa Clarita. The camera isn’t even that sharp to begin with.

I really liked the two sunset photos. Displaying those side by side would look great with the blue and orange. Also, I really liked that second song.
I think I need to shoot many more! Thank you :)

It’s a good day when willem uploads

Great cameras to just immerse yourself in the world with 📸
Seeing your passion for photography makes your videos so much more enjoyable, love your work man!
Your videos ALWAYS make me feel so calm and full of passion for photography again! Thank you!
Got my first camera a fuji and i wanted to say thank you for the motivation to continue this beautiful hobby.
2:37 the track is so cool
Willem , you know how to work that magic California sun, especially early evening.
The colors in those cactus shots are literally breathtaking
Zabriskie Point - I just love the movie! nice pictures! ☀️

Everytime I watch ur videos I go shoot immediately after! Thanks! Keep up this content!!
What film stock was used on your point and shoot in this??
I just love to watch videos from people who shoot with film.
I’ve been shooting film since 1975 and still find inspiration in your videos!
I love all of your videos but these ones where you take a little point and shoot and have fun with it are my absolute favourite and biggest inspiration!

Have you tried the Konica Big Mini? I've been using that for a while and it blew me away with the sharpness and ease of use
@@adnamamedia I have been interested in the big minis, but I have heard they are not built particularly well and die frequently but there are also lots of different versions. How does yours feel? Do you think it will hold up over time?

What was your solution for knowing when the film roll was finished when the LCD died?
@@diepotata The R1 automatically winds the film back up once it’s done so you can hear the motor wind for 30 seconds when you’ve shot the entire roll.
I love these types of videos. id love to see more of this! it resonates a lot to people nowadays due to the high demand of film photography lately
Do you ever miss the Yashica t4 ? I love using mine for candid and portraits.
Ricoh r1 one of best P&S camera for street photography i think.
Recommending ilford hp5 BW film with that camera, result are truly amazing!
Just got my roll back from photographing a point and shoot and now this video 😮💨 life is good. Thank you Willem 🙏
Just bought the Ricoh R1s and was wondering if you shot with it mainly fully auto or infinity mode during daylight?
I was in J-Tree in December and the best time for the Cholla Cacti is sunrise. I shot Ektar 100 and it turned out great.
Your content IS SO GOOD lately
Cute camera, great stuff🔥
Loved this video like so much, just had a question cause I really wanna start film photography and I'm not quite sure what film to use with my Nikon Zoom 800
amazing shots, as always! would love to see you go somewhere more commercial like disneyland and shooting it! i bet it would look so cool and retro!
Great idea of the limitation of a point and shoot! I like how you leverage the flash for creative lighting too. I don't typically use flash but I might try it sometimes. Cheers.
Cool video, thank you for sharing!
Sorry if you’ve already shared this before, but what scanner are you using for your 35mm scans? Achieving such nice detail & colours!
the quality of the video and pictures while just going out to use a point and shoot is amazing
Hairstyle always on point! ✌
Vídeo maravilhosooo! Por favor, faz um vlog com a Fujifilm Instax mini 9!
Whoa, I've never seen LA and the California desert look so beautiful! (It's going to be time for another photo book). These photos are amazing. I think I could give you a cardboard box with a pinhole in it, and you would make beautiful photographs. Cheers!
Hahah thank you Bob! Glad you liked the photos
Check out bad flashes Ricoh R1 button guide. Good information on how to use your buttons if your screen doesn't work, helped me out a lot!

What software did you use to edit the iPhone footage, and it’s there a trick to it? I’m trying to do something similar right now
Beautiful images! This video really made me miss the Ricoh griii I sold last year!
everything in this video is such an eye candy. 😊
Just realizing the first beach photos were from Crystal Cove State Beach. You definitely need to visit the historic beach house there where they filmed tons of movies. The old lady caretaker is so kind.
love this camera. i just dont know how many shot left because the lcd is not working anymore.
Bad Flashes has a button guide for the R1, this should help the settings
What film did you use for this particular shoot?
I like 40mm angle of view and their equivalents. I use a Ricoh 35ZF with a 40mm f2..8 Rikenon lens, and a 4x5 press camera with a Schneider 135mm 4.7 lens which is 40mm eq.

Hey mate. How did you use the rode mic wireless ?
Any idea when the shoulder bags will be back in stock? Desperate to get one for the summer
The product page stays updated with the latest eta :)
Your first video on the R1 is half the reason I went and bought a fuji klasse, such a lovely camera
i recently got the ricoh r1s as well, and my screen is broken too!! i like the wider 30mm lens
Love your videos so much!
Always this 6:7 ratio even on 35mm you're really in love ahah
last song is blossom - chris mazuera & paul grant
Do a review on one of the fuji HD series
I saw one of your videos and you mentioned a Photobook of Polaroids which contained very simplistic and beautiful compositions...I cannot remember which video or the name of the book!.. Do you know which one I am talking about?..
The flash stuff turned out really nice.
WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER THIS ONE O THE MJU II
Love this!
love this video! also does anyone know what clip on mic willem uses for his videos? ive been trying to find out for awhile :/
Just picked this up because of your videos on it! I’m shooting a roll of portra through it now. Is there a way to know when your out of exposures? Or do I have to keep track? *my lcd screen is broken
how did they turn out friend
WoW, some great images, more so with you not really knowing what was turned on or not, must have lost a few frames figuring out that flash
Hey Willem, thanks for another enjoyable video! Also, would like to know what model is the printer you have there in the back :)
Hey man, great video. Seems there's a lot of vignetting - are these shots straight out of the camera or did you maybe add that vignetting?
Also, what films stock did you use in the Ricoh in this video? All your shots look amazing!
Was it Portra 400? Can’t find the info. Thanks and great video!
Yes
01:36 looks like straight out of edward hoppers work.

how do you order your film from richards ?
