Canon 1Dx2 in the Autumn Landscape with Park Cameras
This Autumn I was given the 1Dx2 from Park Cameras to trial in the beauty of the Lake District. Although the 1Dx2 is perhaps more at home with action photography it's an amazing camera in the landscape and this article proves it. As I head off with...
