More experiments with my new Sony RX100 II. I like using slow shutter speeds in the 1/8 – 1/25 second range to capture a certain cellophane quality to flowing water. Shooting hand-held is a challenge for any image stabilization system, and my trusty Nikon D600 and its IS lens do a great job. Looks like the Sony is no slouch either.
