The San Diego County photo competition is a juried exhibition that had
over 10,000 entries this year. I entered four photos

hoping that one of them might get picked to be exhibited. Well, not only
did my photo of California Screamin'
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/barrywallis/127778308/> get picked, it was
awarded a fifth place ribbon.
Congratulations, Barry! It's a fabulous pic! Not only is it
architecturally interesting, and gorgeous in it's own right, but the angle
is so amazing that I started to get motion sick just looking at it. I could
feel the movement. Very cool!
Thanks Kathy. I put my camera on continuous mode as we started down the
hill and picked the best shot.

Nice Shot. Way to Go.
What type of camera did you use? I did not see any details posted with
the image.

Thank you. I use a Nikon Coolpix 8800 prosumer camera (lots of DSLR features without being an SLR). It has a 10x optical zoom and is 8MP. You can find that plus the EXIF data if you look on the right side under Additional Info and pick More Properties under "Taken with an 8800".
