Stranded

Stranded by laurenz.
shot with a small point and shoot camera (Minolta AF-Tele 60) on Koh Samui (Thailand).

currently my "most favourited" image.
So, camera technology isn't everything! (I also have a Dynax 9 SLR camera...).

"So, camera technology isn't everything!"

True dat. Given the right light, the right hands, the right subject, even cheap plastic can do it. As evidenced here. Lovely.

A great picture. It's a fantastic surprise what a little point and shoot can do for you, showing that the power is in the eye of the photographer and not so much in his/her equipment.

It kind of hints at how important it is to have a camera with you all the time. You never know what you're going to see. What's the story with the boat? Was there a storm that beached it like that?

Creativity,
I have recently bought a Minolta 7d, but most of my photos were taken using analogie cameras - and I'm still shooting slide film as well.
This picture was taken many years ago with asimple film camera -no such thing as EXIF data here, I'm afraid...

my theory on cameras is like the old gun saying.
