It's not the camera -

This picture, remains as my all time favorite, was taken with a point and shoot.  Canon SD400.

Set to auto mode, it exposed the shot perfectly (to me at least), and really did the scene justice.

Can I reproduce this shot, at the same location, with a "better" camera?  I don't know, I am curious if I can.   Sometimes, in the moment, just pick up the camera, take a shot, a lucky shot perhaps, and it just works.   No fiddling with controls and dials to try to get the shot "perfect".


Believe me, I think I got lucky, just at the right place, at the right time.  Just "clicked"....
