Got a bonus pic for you today.

With every camera I've ever owned, I've got a shot that convinced me that I'd finally mastered the damn thing.

It might not be the best shot I ever took with that camera, but it's always the shot where the end result *exactly* matches how I saw the shot in my head when I took it.

If you've had that same experience, I'd love to see your shot too!
