A shot of the desert landscape of Joshua Tree National Park. It starts off with the campsite on the bottom right, and the green of the vegetation leads the eye through the image. This is my favorite national park, with the rock formations great for bouldering coupled with the mild weather in the fall, with potential for beautiful photos. This was taken 2 years ago with the Canon Rebel t6 and the kit lens, a beginner camera that can be picked up for $300 used. This shows how you don't need the best gear, but with the right conditions, camera skill and editing, you can still get great shots.
Agreed. I am sure that Ansel Adams could make a photo with an iPhone 6 that was better than most photos taken with a Nikon D850.
