Challenge has finished

This is the last stage of the standard equipment series. Get out your bulky DSLR - excluding full formats. This challenge is post processing restricted still - but I will not check for it. Just be nice to your colleagues and don't cheat! This is a 'beginners challenge' hoping to attract some pros showing us how to do it right. We want to learn - please comment the pictures! Please be creative!

If you use either please document what you did - we want to learn from you!

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Full EXIF information is required.
Pictures shall not exceed 1600px on the longest side. This shall hinder Megapixel mania and hopefully improve chances for creative pictures.
Please enter a complete list of equipment used and an estimated list price.
The second shall allow us to make some comparisons against the effort we invested (to compare factors of image quality against cost).
Note: any cheat will lead to disqualification without pre-warning or further notice.
