    I liked my palm tree photo … until I saw yours.

    Until I get some better equipment, I’m going to keep telling myself your stuff looks so much better because you have nicer gear. (I’m afraid to get nicer gear, because then I won’t have that excuse to lean on anymore.)

    Hey DaddyScratches,

    It’s not about the gear (although I have the Nikon equivalent lens). You can make similar images with a $20 plastic toy camera and no photoshop — Check out this Palm tree on my facebook page (link at bottom) — a bit different, but absolutely no post processing — this is on Film, and straight from the camera.

    If anyone ever wants a guest post from a photog, let me know BTW —

    Is that a polarizing filter doing that trippy thing around the edges? Mine does that. I like it too! Great shot — the sun flare and light is just awesome.

    I do love a palm tree.

    Lovely. A wide angle is next on my list, after a camera that can actually autofocus something other than a kit lens.

    Totally know what you mean by not shooting as much with a lens as you thought you would. I’ve got a Sigma 10–20 for my Nikon and lately its just been sitting in the bag. I’d love to get a tilt-shift lens, but the same thing — how much would I use it after that initial honeymoon period is over?

    Nice shot.
