Stranded

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.

Al ajanabi says:

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?

Wonderful picture. Goes to show it's the scene before you, not the camera that makes the picture.

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...

You are perfectly right. In essence technology never makes a great shot. It's kind of a shame that anyone tries to tell this is the case.

awesome shot...
my theory on cameras is like the old gun saying.
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people" or
"Cameras don't take good pictures, People take good pictures"

nice work!
