On this episode of Photo Geek Weekly, Jpeg2RAW host Mike Howard joins the discussion about the latest computer hardware and what you should look for, what compression of RAW data could look like if you throw information away, novelty hipster lenses and something refreshing: a simple innovation that makes a lot of sense with filters. All this and more, I truly appreciate your attention for this weekly hour of photography geekery!
