No, this photo/contest inspired me to move up in equipment to a mid level DSLR Nikon camera in which I have also become an expert with photo software development.In my camera bag
Currentky consists of a Nikon D7000, an 18-200 mm top end Nikon DX lens, a Nikon 50 mm prime lens, 2 ND filters, a polarizing filter, a NIKON flash and lots of accessories (cleaning, etc.)Feedback
Obviously you would have a difficult time trying to climb a palm tree to take this shot. Keep eyes open for scenes that you would not normally be able to take. In this photo, it was after a bad storm that knocked this branch down from the tree. However, the tree was on the other side of a fence and the branch was propped up by the fence making it a cool shot.
