Fine Art Architecture Photography with Ricoh GR II Pocket Camera

When you think about architecture photography gear, what crosses your mind? Right. Heavy cameras, big fancy lenses, cumbersome tripods and humongous bags to carry all of it (and break your back). So why not just take a tiny camera like the Ricoh GR II, put it in your pocket and see how far you can get? That's what i wanted to try and went out to Vitra Campus - an architectural playground where renowned architects like Frank Gehry, Herzog & De Meuron, Tadao Ando and others were almost free to implement their visions. Only taking the pocket camera with a fixed focal length was truly liberating. Light as a feather, mobile like a monkey and not having to think about lens choice made this a very enjoyable journey - and not only from a photography point of view because it was so easy to explore and to marvel at the wonderful architecture. Did i miss tripod, tilt/shift lens and all that? Not really. Do I like the images taken less than if i had the all the fancy stuff with me? Probably not. After sunset, I did miss the tripod a little bit, because the ISO had to go quite high. But looking at the prints - it's all fine for me. Thanks for watching!
