RICOH GR (18.3mm, f/5, 1/500 sec, ISO4500)

Pelican and Snow
Canon EOS 6D (245mm, f/4, 1/1000 sec, ISO400)
Yes this is still a blog dedicated to little cameras with big sensors => littlebigtravelingcameras. And the Canon 6D is one. It’s not exactly little but little by full frame standards.

I was in the army once but honestly I would prefer to be defended by professionals should there ever be a need. If I want to have my teeth checked I go to see my dentist not my neighbor.
