"I don´t need a big camera, I can get by with the little point and shoot." I am curious what a BIG camera is. I really don´t think Canon had anything to do with the contest being won by a photographer with a less than $100 used point and shoot Canon camera.. I know for a fact it was the people that sell that "$20 plastic tripod" that paid off the judge. Just this morning I found five $20 plastic tripods for sale on Craigslist.org and by the time I was able to reach the sellers they were all sold. How in the world am I ever going to take a winning photo with my Canon A520 if I can´t buy a "$20 plastic tripod"? Somebody, PLEASE somebody point me in the right direction to where I can get my much needed $20 plastic tripod". Wait a minute, there is still over 3 hours before the San Diego Chargers take the field and that should be enough time for me to scour the local thrift shops. Maybe, just maybe I can score a "$20 plastic tripod" for less than $20 at one of the local thrift stores. I am outta here and on a mission. No photos until I get my "$20 plastic tripod". Ah crud, I just read I will have to sit outside in crummy weather for 3 hours with my Canon A520 point and shoot camera on my $20 plastic tripod , like the winning photographer did, for the winning shot.
To many requirements for me to ever become a winning photographer. Screw it, back to making balsa wood surfboards. Much easier for me to have the wood shipped from South America.
