Street snap in Mainz, Germany
I went to Mainz, Germany after a long absence. Mainz is a city on the Rhine River. It started as a fortified city built by the Romans in 38 BC and still retains many historical buildings and heritage.
In addition to history and tourism, the city has many educational institutions and research facilities such as the University of Mainz, and academic activities are also thriving. Technology is being developed and researched.
I took pictures of the city of Mainz with the OPF 550-L, which shines with fresh greenery, so I hope you will take a look and feel the atmosphere of Mainz.
Also, according to the atmosphere of the city and the characteristics of the camera (RICOH GRIIIx this time), I will publish the preset "Mainz for OPF 550" for Adobe Lightroom, which is RAW developed from this photo, so that everyone can use it freely. Please use it.

The "550" in OPF 550-L stands for the light wavelength of 550 nanometers, which makes green and blue colors appear vivid, and the "L" (Light) represents the amount of light diffused by the special glass.
The combination of these two elements enables new expressions that could not be achieved before.
