On a misty November day, I walked the Rilke Trail along the cliffs of Duino, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. While I also shot a roll of film that day, this post focuses on the digital side — quiet moments, small details, and the shifting light that made the trail so captivating.

After my first month with the Ricoh GR IIIx, I’ve gathered a selection of favorite images. Everyday moments, light, color, and perspective — exactly the kind of shooting this pocket camera was made for.

Is the Ricoh GR IIIx still worth it in 2025? After my first thousand photos, I share what I loved, what could be improved, and the accessories that make it shine.
