SONY NEX-5 (27mm, f/6.3, 1/125 sec, ISO200)
When traveling to foreign places people always recorded their memories. Today it is the same. Almost everybody takes images when abroad. The only thing that has changed over time is the camera. Continue reading
Canon EOS 6D (70mm, f/4, 1/40 sec, ISO12800)
