I impulse bought a new camera and it's bloody marvellous

Hi

So recently I have been watching a lot of videos about street photography, especially the inspirational Sean Tucker (https://www.seantucker.photography/). Of course, the pinnacle of street photography gear is a Leica but there's no way I could stretch to one of those!!. So, out of nowhere, I dropped a bit of cash on a Ricoh GR III. It's a fixed focal length 28mm equivalent point-and-shoot with a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor. It's the perfect stealth street photography camera with some excellent features such as focus snapping (where you set a focal length and with a quick full press of the shutter button, it will fire off a shot without having to refocus).

The only annoying this is that I don't really live anywhere near a big town or city to make use of the features easily. In any case, I took it out quickly today between showers just to see how it copes in overcast light in my village. Fired off this nice abstract of a rotting shed. Its sharp enough to take your eyes out. Can't wait to get this little powerhouse out into London, Cambridge or Norwich in the near future.
