His work is excellent but he recently added one image of pine trees in a forest … Continue reading Lightweight Infrared
RX100 Processing Error – Oops
In my earlier posting about my experiences with the Sony RX100 I mentioned that the results were very sharp and that when printed looked almost unreal.
