I've read in another thread today (and yesterday) discussion and photo-examples of photography done with a Point and Shoot.
That got me reflecting on my photographic progress within the last year... how far I've come.
It got me thinking about the limitations of DSLR's and needing special lenses to do what I did with that little P&S pretty well. (If I had known about setting the resolution and other tricks, they might have rivaled some of the DSLR shots I've done!)
Anyway, If it were not for finding this very forum, Ugly Hedgehog, and the wonderful people I've met here... I would not have progressed at all. I want to thank everyone who contributes to this forum... be it discussion, inspiration, questions, sharing of work, critiques... and a select few who went well beyond that to help ME specifically by gifting software, equipment, accessories and most of all... their knowledge and expertise.
Thank you!
The following are some shots done with my Canon A-550 no more than a few months before coming here to Ugly. This was the caliber of photography I was doing at the time (and even submitted a few to a local photography contest and show... I'm embarrassed now! lol).
I am opening the thread for others to share their P&S shots. NO DSLR or fancy film camera stuff please.
My intent is to show that sometimes, it's not the weapon you wield, it's the skill with which you wield it!
I expect some great stuff, honestly. :)

Nice shots Tilde, thanks for opening this thread.
Here are some I've taken over the past few years with a Canon A720IS camera. I'm sorry if I got a little carried away with the quantity.
