Ricoh GR with GV1 finder at 1/400, f6.3 ISO 6400, zone focus.

This kid attracted a large crowd, I didn’t have time to stick around to find out if he will become the
next Magnus Carlsen, snapped with the Ricoh GR, my new i-sans-phone.

    It was already pretty dark and I had it in snap mode at a pretty high shutter speed, 1/400 and f6.3. Sure looks like I had all the time in the world to compose it, however, the iPhone shooter with the hat and the kid scratching his head didn’t last long :) I waited around for awhile to get another shot with shallow depth of field and lower ISO, nothing better came along, the kid didn’t scratch his head again, nor did anything else happen that would top this shot.

    Question. Why did u used iso 6400 in this case ? Why not going like to f3.0 and Iso 1600/3200 ?

    Amazing! Between the pose of the child player and the capture of the iPhone also showing the game board…A piece of art!
