November 21, 2023 By Spencer Cox 23 Comments

Canon RF 35mm f:1.8 Macro front element

Nikon D70_Krkonoše_2005_Prague Castle_Czech Republic_DSC_0071-NEF

For my opening Photography News images, I usually post a photo I took last week. This time I will make a small exception to that rule. The month and day match, only the year is 2005 - prehistoric from the point of view of digital photography. But many of you...
