My photo, "Tulip Interior", is currently featured on the opening page of the NANPA Web site today. To prove it doesn't necessarily take expensive equipment to capture a neat picture, this was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 995 with fisheye adapter during the Ottawa Tulip Festival last May. I simply stuck the fisheye lens down just inside the tulip cup and fired the shutter. The extreme depth of field of the lens threw everything into sharp focus. This was earlier selected as part of the NANPA Showcase 2006 - best 200 images from the NANPA membership. Copies of this compilation are available at the NANPA Bookstore. http://www.nanpa.org.
That's a really tremendous image! Very, very nicely done!

Ken - Very nice image and congrats on the recognition.
Being an equipment junkie, it is always good to see simple equipment being used, it helps me realize that it is the person behind the camera more than the camera itself.
