Placed 9^th in the challenge.

Placed 36^th in the challenge. The streets of Pompeii were very well engineered. They were designed to drain water, so they built stepping stones for people to keep their feet dry, when crossing the street. These steps were also spaced enough to allow chariots to pass thru.

Placed 18^th in the challenge.

Placed 33^rd in the challenge.

I also just started with serious digital photography with my NEX-6. With most of my pictures, my intention was HDR, so 90% of my shots are bracketed. I started playing around with Luminance HDR and...

When traveling, I use the wifi to transfer my photos to an Android tablet for review.At the moment, Sony's wifi implementation is still crude and has inconsistent reliability. Oftentimes, it...

I also bought the 2-pack Wasabi batteries for my NEX-6. I'm quite happy with them, and do not notice any difference from the original Sony.
