>>3171609Thanks bro! Not having a real high-quality camera made me realize early on that I would have to really focus on composition in order to get good shots. I started out my trip having only used disposable 35mm and cheap digital cameras before, but after 3 months of constant practice on the road I was getting pretty good at manipulating the image.
Pic related is one of my favorites. I love how the clouds and the ground form a perfect frame for the trees against the sunset. This was just before I was about to overtaken by a lightning storm near Safford, Arizona.
