Thanks Teresa, I was about three inches away, that’s why I love my RX-100. 📷

I’m seriously considering buying the RX-100V which is a ridiculously expensive toy. I’m still using the original model from 2012 so I think I got my money’s worth. I hardly use my Mirrorless (Sony A-6000) these days even though its a fantastic camera. 🏰

Same with me. My canon SLR died on me so I am now using a cheap Canon point and shoot. Does the job but am not really impressed with it.

I started digital with a Cannon point and shoot, then a slightly better Panasonic Lumix, then to Sony which I will stay with because of the image quality. Cameras are relatively cheap these days (not lenses), it just depends on what you want.

Thanks Rob, the light was good but I exposed to the right a bit and added a luminosity mask with the blend mode to multiply.
