    Best P&S shot you ever took...

    This is my favorite P&S that I have. Got a bunch of other climbing ones, but I like the perspective of this one, and it's shortly after a fucked up rock step that we sketched our way up.

    looking back through them, I mostly cringe and think about what I could have done better. This one seems better than the rest, though.

    Well that's the challenge... But you can also get those P&S cams into places no DSLR dare to tread, so I was curious to see what the mags had. This community never ceases to amaze me...

    Three from the same weekend in Aspen, about four years ago. Despite all the pictures I've taken with my DSLR, these are still three of my favorites:

    This is one of my favorite shots EVAR. As I become a better photographer and acquire nicer equipment all I'm doing is chasing the magic that came together between my best bud, his amazing youthful prowess and my creative enthusiasm for a brand new first digital P&S.
    It's akin to that first time you truly skied amazing powder. You'll chase it forever but the feeling will never be quite the same. It's why you ski. It's why I shoot pictures.

    Thanks guys. 666 is right on the money, that's my dog on a early morning walk through Crissy Field, with SF making up the skyline in the back. That morning the field was covered in a low laying fog layer, which seemed to filter the sun perfectly. Flickr compressed the colors slightly, in the real image there is slightly more contrast.

    The only reason I had a P&S that morning was because my wife wanted to take videos of our dog running through the tall wet grass. Once the sun came over the hill, I snapped one shot...and that was it.

    Sometimes that's all it takes. It goes to show that it's not the camera that counts. Thanks for posting it up.

    I think it's probably hard for me to separate the emotion out of my own pics and look at them with a critical eye, especially since I have very little knowledge of what makes a really good photo, but here are some of mine I like (critiques welcome):
