 <\/p>\n

Finally, I slipped off from Imaging USA show for a while yesterday before dinner and went over to Antique Archaeology, to shoot a few images. \u00a0Armed with only my Fuji X100T, (fast becoming one of my favorite cameras of all time), \u00a0and no tripod, I captured a few hand held images that I’m happy with, I’ll let you be the judge! \u00a0All shot at ISO 3200!!!!!<\/p>\n
