A sunny day in the park

Hi there,

I am a rather new member of the Ricoh family. I just got myself a GXR + A12 (thanks to xavi99 for his mint sample)
Being a Minolta, I feel right at home. The control layout, the build, even the image aesthetics are very similar, and thats a good thing
The Ricoh (especially the default JPGs) offers smooth pastel like colors, charming contrast and great sharpness, while offering an attractive bokeh (not the brown goo type of 85/1.2 lenses, etc. but still plenty of DoF control).

Glad to feel home again...my D700 feels threatened already

so here we go, I took her out the first time for a walk in the park (Augarten):

and a bit earlier, I was at the Währinger park. On the way home I noticed this...for those who don't speak German..."Freihalten" means "no parking" in this context

thanks for watching

Nice captures! Enjoy your new GXR and keep us flooded with photos!

thanks

one thing is for sure, I will take much more photographs again now. With the D700 being my only camera for a pretty long time, I haven't done much
