Description
I thought I might bring some color to this challenge 
. A number of years ago I attended a medical conference in Los Angeles and took a few days to make a side trip to Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite NP. On the road back into Kings Canyon I spotted this bunch of cat tails and decided to switch into macro mode from landscape mode.
Specific Feedback
One of my earlier digital images taken with my second DSLR. A couple of years before I was in a quandary about which system to go with as I had a Minolta film camera and many thousands of $$$ in Minolta lenses but Minolta was the last to get into the DSLR game. When Sony bought Minolta I didn’t have to switch to Nilon or Canon. The Sony A100 was their first foray into the DSLR world. At that time the jury was out on whether Sony would commit to further DSLR development. Of course they did and look at how far they have come! This image was shot with the A700 which confirmed their commitment and was a vastly superior tool than the A100. I still have my Minolta 200mm macro lens which is the patriarch of my current system.
