Ricoh GR III settings that made these Autumn Colours Pop

Where I live, there’s a small window of time where all of the autumn leaves are still hanging onto trees before they completely fall off for the winter months. It’s funny that in this window of seasonal transition, streets that were once somewhat stale come fully to life when the leaves die. 

I’ve been using the Ricoh more and more for everyday adventures, trying to see just how great a photo I can take with the little camera. After several shoots and many tweaks of my settings, I have created a profile/recipe that gets me great results in camera, needing only minor adjustments in Lightroom (curves and saturation).
