Good job on the win Tim. Nice new topic also.

To clarify the MPC. I'm not looking to see who has the awesomest gear. I'm looking more for composition and creativity.

e.g. Here is my awesomest tripod sitting on the shoreline rocks with an pink ocean backdrop in Massachusetts early last Saturday morning.

1. My favourite lens, the Canon 35L:

So three entries so far. I'll extend this through the weekend. To see if a few more get added.
