Microstock Photo of the Day (August 17, 2008)



How many of you have an old but very nice bridge camera or digicam lying around? I shot this picture with a Nikon 5400, which was the second camera I ever owned. Sure, my Canon 30D blows the Nikon out of the water on almost every count (noise, sharpness, ISO range, dynamic range, etc.), but the Nikon is nicely pocketable and allows me to get shots I would have missed while getting my DSLR out of my bag.

I took this picture before a cloudburst several months ago and it has already sold several times since I uploaded it to Shutterstock. So keep shooting with that DSLR, but be sure to keep your digicam in a pocket or purse for the unexpected.
