In a class of my own
I think Britain’s class system is out-dated, but it’s is still a big influence over millions of people’s lives.

The EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) can be found in the properties of a image. I’ve added it to this image for a reason. I’m starting a series of posts on a Zillion Ideas tomorrow, about all the settings you can use on your camera. (more…)
