I normally shoot my Nikon D3 and D3x, however I did not bring it on a trip my wife and I took to Big Sur. When we got to our destination, it was absolutely stunning, and all I had with me was my old small Cannon Powershot 710 that I keep in my car. It was one of those "Perfect Storm" situations where the lighting and subject were just perfect, and the old "point & shoot" camera was all that was required. This was exactly how it came out of the camera, and there was no post editing. I love the reflection in front of her in the water, the highlights of her blonde hair from the backlighting, and the soft shadows on her that set the mood for the whole photo. Cannon Powershot 710,f/8 at 1/500 second,ISO 100. Lesson learned: you don't need a great camera to take a great picture.
