Many great images. And its not about the camera, its about the talent of the photographer.
But since this is a gear forum:
Among 60 finalists, used cameras: 1 mirrorless (Fuji XPro-1), 1 SLT (Sony A77), 3 P&S (2 superzoms), of course only phones in the phone class (10). The rest DSLRs. Seems like the “dinosaurs” are alive and well.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
