[@KyleTunis]

Greetings from one of those .8% watching from Denmark! Hope you had a great time in Copenhagen. I've always found it hard shooting here since it's the city I live in and the beauty becomes a bit mundane after seeing it every single day, so it was nice seeing a bit of it through another photographer's eyes

[@henrik-j1l]

I feel the same. Question is how to make the mundane interesting again. I once learned that as a photographer you must force yourself to view the world as a child would.

[@snapsbyfox]

Guess im coming here for a month or two... looks mega!

[@ruschhau]

As a follower for a while now, I have two things: first, you have a really incredible eye for a scene that’s pretty inspiring; second, it’s only just hit me that this is a phenomenal videography channel masquerading (deservedly so) as one for still photography

[@BenjyBraude]

Those first few architectural shots really caught me off guard. To me, at least, they're a huge departure from your normal style, but I think they're wonderful! Expertly composed and exposed. Thanks for another great video!

[@NeonShores]

03:08 is just lovely.

[@Lousinana]

He mann i really dont know what are you doing but your colour editing is next level. Br from Austria

[@ElliottKinsey]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@RatRugRug]

When I first found James, I was also entirely blown away with his use of editing. But as I explore more features in Lightroom, the color grading tab has been able to give me a similar result to him! Happy surprise anyway!

[@stephenchurch1784]

He's got a video called "how I edit photos" that you'd probably like. It's not a full blown tutorial video but he does go into how he works with color curves in lightroom

[@chimklee]

i really really really need to learn how to edit like him

[@rutlegs]

Your compositions are just so amazing.

[@JarenHunsaker]

Love the vides you make, James! Always gets me pumped to take pictures!

[@andreasphotiou1886]

I love Copenhagen, such a great place to walk/cycle around taking photos

[@gjwhite]

Glad you're enjoying the Ricoh! It really is a pleasant camera to use and I just find myself reaching for it more and more given just how easy it is to throw in a small bag. It just feels right in the hand and allows me to be responsive to the environment. It's a very fluid camera!

[@NigelDanson]

That looked so good. I should have come.... ha

[@UrbanoModa]

You'll enjoy the 28mm version more, and especially positive film filter. great video, loved the biker with the red jacket @ 4:26

3:09 Great lighting!

The first set of images you shared at the start of the video take my breath away. Just had to say.

[@christianpatton1852]

Wonderful to see you in Copenhagen and to see your take on the city lovely images really looking forward to the coming videos from your trip around my Denmark :) Nyboder is pronounced with a very soft D :))

Excellent video James went there a three years ago and amazing place and we will be heading back sometime.

This is great! Heading to Copenhagen in April, so very excited for the inspiration.

[@denisesavage2382]

Love your style and tech/sound challenges . . . . .you work so well with them.

[@stevewturnbull]

I have an iPhone 14 Pro too (I'm a travel writer and photographer). The biggest issue I have is not the quality it's the form factor/ergonomics. But I'm getting used to it and there's no doubt it's a very convenient and capable camera. I've taken it on several shoots recently and been very pleased with the results. Most people wouldn't know the difference.

[@andreseli]

Greetings from the Icelandic guy that lives in Denmark and, a few years ago, on that lovely island Ærø, you visited. 🙋

Thank you for this walkthrough James. As someone whos lookin forward to ventureing out to Denmark. Loved watching this. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 BRAVO. AND beautiful pictures as usual. The first few were were the stand outs and now I need to go look for those locations🤣🤣

[@alb1rdy547]

As a native Copenhagen photographer here are a few amazing spots, which they didn't go to: Sydhavnstippen - llamas, sheep and very unique thriftbuild houses Amagerbakken - good vantage point to see the entirety of the small copenhagen skyline Christiania (just dont have your camera visible on pusherstreet)

Your editing is so entertaining. Asking him about the percentage he found interessting. Tbh, thats the reason im subscribed. I do not shoot landscape, just family stuff. But kept watching due to the fun stuff.

Love my GRIII. Have a Nikon Z6II but 90% of the time I'm using GRIII. The images are so sharp and artistic looking! After updating to 1.70 even the video is nice

[@weisserth]

Nice images. I would love to visit Copenhagen again, an absolutely brilliant destination in Europe.

[@philduch]

Mr Popsys It's been a while now since I follow your photography channel . I had to thank you for all the recommandations and talks about the Ricoh GR. Just bought it and it's ...Phenomenal ! Very fast and responsive for such a tiny little thing.. Thanks a lot for your british humour ...sometimes 😅 Have a nice day Philippe from Belgium

[@paulcollingridge8387]

So clean in the city... No litter, very few parked cars. Great video

[@ka8eno]

I would love you to do a video with the iPhone 14 pro and hear your thoughts and tips as this is my camera! Even as an iPhone photographer, I really enjoy your videos as they are fun and I can normally find something to take away, even if it is only a smile.😊

[@ka8eno]

@James.Popsys Hello James, thank you for your reply to my message. I am sending this as requested, Karen.

[@jonstout7635]

I’m inspired to take my tiny Z50 with the pancake lens out and do some street scenes like we use to. Thanks for a video of great shots and good humor mixed with photo lessons on top of it all.

[@chanceproductionsfilms]

Get to it!! I’m not a Nikon user but the Z50 with a small lens sounds like a great street package

[@jonstout7635]

@@chanceproductionsfilms I did a couple of nights ago. It was great to have less weight to handle and the picture quality is amazing.

[@chanceproductionsfilms]

@@jonstout7635 That's awesome mate. I recently just switched from a Canon DSLR to a Lumix G9 and WOW the smaller size and weight is absolutely amazing to work with on the street

[@e.d.s.1644]

would be nice to share the setting of the GR also

[@kev16]

I've watched over 50 gr videos because I am deciding to pick up a 3 or 3x. And yours is the first one that gave me what I needed. I was thinking of getting an X and then use my phone for other needs. And I worried about getting a 3 that basically is my phone in a majority of ways. THANK YOU. griiix here I come.

[@alexanderpopov6374]

Right now I am in the exact same dilemma. What are your thoughts on the GRiiix if you have got it ?

[@Qwillo749]

Damn I love your humour! Come for the photo content stay for the amusement

[@RealRaynedance]

I can't help but love your abrupt cuts to much worse weather.

[@DylanRotich]

I just bought this camera. Sometime in the future I'd like to get my hands on the older GR II version so I could get the 28mm equivalent, the flash, and the old color image controls. It seems that the Positive Film looks quite different (better imo) on the GR II.

[@nicolasguillenc]

Your colors are so beautiful man, If I had the money for lightroom I’d buy your presets haha and still i’m sure there’s more editing involved

[@celestewalz8342]

Nyboder was my favorite spot in Copenhagen.

[@Brightsparks1960]

Another great video thank you. A useful feature you did not mention is the Crop Mode which does provide a useable sensor based crop to change the focal length. On the GRiiix this adds 50mm and 71mm to the default 40mm focal length and on the GRiii adds 35mm and 50mm in addition to the 28mm. Given the 24Mp sensor size, the first crop is quite usable as this reduces the image size from 24MP to about 16MPi

[@viktorbjorkman5632]

6:55 ".. It's all rhymes that" Wow James, you rhymed Version with Version and Version! I always find Copenhagen to be a great city to find new interesting shots in when I visit! Greetings from just across the Öresund bridge!

[@Tubilakken]

Greetings from a dane. Its nice to see you in places ive been and the even nicer to see we take almost identical photos there :)

[@3COI]

I have a GRIII and I used to carry it with me everywhere I went. Then the scroll wheel got all wonky and frustrating and I barely use it now. It's a shame because I very much enjoying the camera when everything worked as it should and i wasn't fighting the camera or finding work arounds for adjusting manual settings ( I always shoot in manual mode bc I guess I'm a control freak)

[@jsimes1]

I quite like the Danish forklift! 🚜🚧

[@Batch2103]

Mads face is priceless ... you should come to Skegness to challenge you. Yes ...really!

[@sh8736]

When you go to the airport wear your camera as jewellery and have a lens in your pocket ! I used to work for a Danish company and went often to Copenhagen. In those days everyone smoked , do they still? Never went for a beer as you could nt see the bar for the fog.. Went to take a picture of the little mermaid and was shocked to find industrial buildings in the background!

[@pwood5733]

Depends if you buy the phone lenses as one does for cameras to do the comparisons properly

[@davidzhorvath]

Huge fan of both Ricoh GRiii models and keep both with me, I recommend the original 28. (equivalent)

[@j.b.6448]

Once again, enjoyed your video. Planning on a Copenhagen trip in the near future, and this post has energized me for the trip. As for the percentage of views from Copenhagen, if someone has a VPN, it may say they are in Copenhagen though in reality, they may be in another country. :)

[@bokusimondesu]

nyBOder What you said there was quite true: Sometimes you can't and other times it's just impossible. Looking forward to seeing more of the country that I live in. 😊👍

[@sampierceB]

Thanks for posting this. Been curious to understand the difference between the gr and iPhone 14

[@ChadWilson]

It was a very nice forklift, very well rendered. LOL!

[@ch3m1c]

I went straight to check for plain tickets from Tallinn to Copenhagen after watching your video :) Just to go do streets there with my A7C + 50mm F2.5 G 🥰

[@niekfraterman6006]

Nice video with lots of colour. In stead of buying a seconde Ricoh GRX you could buy a Sony 28-60 / 4-5.6 collaseble kitlens for 300 pound. it is wheather sealed and you have the battery life, viewfinder, video and stabalisition of the Sony 7Rc. You can also this kitlens infull / crop mode on your Sony 7Riv for lightweight cycling and hillwalking in Wales.

1:56 "yes yes yes yes yes" I'm glad I'm not the only one who tries to verbally shepherd people into the right spot for a shot during street photography sessions.

I'm one of the 0.86%.. It's "Noo-bo-ther". The houses were originally built as military accomodation. (Army, navy.)

Thanks for this video. I do love the image at 4:26, I find it very captivating. BTW, did you learned some (other) Danish words during your stay?

[@charleshodge1223]

Some nice example of anticipation with the pedestrians and cyclists. Really liked the photos you ended up with. It does seam you've inadvertently created a whole new sub-genre of street photography.....Street Forklift photography!! That surely HAS to be the topic for a 'James Popsys youtube channel giveaway competion' in the future??, with Mads bless him roped in to co-judge ;-)

[@tannerjagim4241]

James I know you may not exactly be looking for this but with the new lens Nikon released a z30 + the 26mm 2.8 would be an excellent camera and would be similar in every aspect to the ricoh but with weather sealing which I know you have complained about in the past. You could also go for the z50 which has a viewfinder but is still extremely small with that lens. The lens is also able to take filters as well and could be Usable as a video camera for vlogging and such.

[@chrispyl0ve66]

Yes please for a phone video 😁👍I've watched your last one to death now. Also another Welsh village/town shoot, maybe the same video😁

When I bought my Sony Xperia 5 ii I was worried for the future of my Olympus EM-5, but now I use both but always ensure the Oly has a lens that the phone can't even dream of.

[@Voeunven123]

Nice bro!!!

[@StefanBeyer]

Nice shots! You seem to be a a true "fusion photographer". I like how take a street photography approach to landscapes and vice versa. Produces some really nice results. Regarding that getting a GR in addition to the GRX thing: I went down that road and it didn't go well. Kept confusing the two (despite my clever "left pocket 28, right pocket 40" methodology) and it just didn't feel right. SO sold the 28mm again.

[@inelfcalape58]

Nice captured 😍💗 Which editing app u use?

[@oldad73]

I was thinking, just before you asked, 'I bet Mads didn't take any street photos in Copenhagen.' Next you need to do a Hamburg trip with Greg Snell.

[@seansperte]

Love this, thanks for sharing. Did you shoot RAW with your iPhone?

[@Jonathan-zq8vs]

40mm feels a little too “abstract” for my taste in comparison to the 28mm. I’m excited to get my GR III HDF in about a week

Hope Mads does a video as well. 👍🥂

Hi James, where were the beach huts please? Great content as usual ta Sean

[@alexSpunkt.]

Great video 👏 video about iPhone photography would be great!

[@artemkanaki9274]

if I need to choose one focal length it would be a 28mm. In fact I’ve decided to strict myself and use only 28mm for at least a year or two. I had multiple cameras, mostly fuji, I sold all of them just yesterday, and kept only ricoh gr3. I mean, how many gear do we really need? as a hobbyist I definitely do not need more then one camera. gr3 is amazing camera, I really like how the raw files look. The Copenhagen is amazing city, I visited it in October, and going to go there for at least a few weeks this year

[@salvatoreshiggerino6810]

Funny, I was just there, but I didn't get any shots, for the dumbest reason. I didn't want to cary my bag around all day, but I had left my body cap at home, and taking the lens off is the only way to make my camera pocketable. It would have been nice to have a GRIIIx or a similar compact, something to think about.

[@dalebuckwalter50]

I really enjoyed this video as I visited Denmark 40 years ago. On another note, as a photo video junkie, I am able to travel the world vicariously thanks to KZbin. We Americans are so arrogant as we think everything should be in English. Thanks to Europeans for speaking more than 1 language. By the way, James, your English is very good.
