Farewell to Ricoh GR
Japanese cuisine, a feast for the eyes as well as palate.
SOOC JPEG except for some cropping.
Kaiseki-ryōri (懐石料理), this is the Takiawase (煮合) course where the vegetables are served with meat, seafood or tofu. The ingredients are simmered separately.
The dish glistens thanks to a layer of pure Kudzu starch which is transparent and does not leave any starchy taste. Japanese chefs pay great attention to details.
This post is to commemorate the recent demise of my Ricoh GR. A great photographic tool albeit a not too robust one at that. Its leaf shutter has been stuck for quite some time but finally its end came when its retractable lens barrel also got stuck.
Not sure if I'll bother to replace it with the newer GRiii.
Ricoh GR is ideal for street shots mainly, thanks to its stealthy form factor but it has been great for the occasional food shot too, can't imagine pointing a DSLR at a plate of food!
I also had problems installing the Ricoh Silkypix RAW developer on iMac, the workaround was to rename a USB-drive to “S-SW140”, the software will not install unless a disk-drive is identified, really clunky!
