No expensive camera equipment used here, rather this photo from Maefleur was taken with a toy digital camera.

It just goes to show, it’s not the equipment that counts, it’s how you use it!

I just love the colours and details in this one. I think one of the main reasons it caught my eye is because it reminded me of the jigsaw puzzles I used to do as a child. In fact, I’m tempted to take a sharp knife to my monitor and cut this out right now…
