Many moons ago I was on the west coast of Newfoundland and witnessed an amazing sunset.
This shot was taken with a Canon PowerShot A610, which has specs that you wouldn't accept on a phone today, but 13yrs ago it was pretty good for a point-and-shoot. The reason I chose this camera back in the day was because it took AA batteries, and it was going to be a work camera for me.
It wasn't long after this that I got my first DSLR, a Canon XSi. This was when I started taking photos for fun and never had any spare change again.
