PCPlus 279: JPEG compression

I’d skipped a couple of assignments because I was travelling to England (plus a couple that really didn’t inspire me at all), so it wasn’t until Wednesday, March 3 (#ds108) that the Daily Shoot came up with something I could sink my teeth into: “Weathered objects have a lot of character: cracked, rusted, bleached, etc. Give us your best weathered shot today.” […]
