Oui, mais c'est surtout le matos qui est hallucinant chez Bertrand. Et puis les pelloches, c'est "facile" de les commander en ligne, le matos, je suis toujours méfiant. Bon, en ce moment c'est pas comme si j'avais les sous de toute façon ;-)

A4 : Badly is the best answer I can give. I post on social media (here and instagram) but the response is so tepid it's hard to find the motivation. I used to do small exhibits at a cafe place near me, but they closed down. Thinking about a book...

A3 #photochat :
Lightroom for 95% of the work, and the occasional shot that goes into photoshop (usually to fix background issues).

Or even... by design? But maybe I'm obsessed ;-) My GW690iii also cannot do double exposures, and it frustrates me, but at least it doesn't make me lose frames.
