My first DSLR camera was a Nikon D7000, a crop sensor entry-level camera with capabilities in line with my newness to photography. I bought three cheap zoom lenses with different focal lengths, trying to cover the distance to all possible subjects I might want to photograph. One advantage to crop sensors is how the crop factor affects the focal range of lenses. The D7000 with my longest lens, zoomed in to its limit, was the equivalent of 450 mm. That brings a mildly distant subject quite close.

When the nearby Reedy River overflows after a hard rain, this old low-lying trail gets flooded; the solution was a slightly elevated wooden walkway.
