Here's what's really cool for you photography nerds out there: you can submit your photos to an online contest (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/photo-contest/photo-contest) and you can have your own national geographic gallery. If your shots are selected, they will be published. Now here's what I've gathered from spending an embarrassing 5 hours straight on the site (obviously, I'm addicted): anyone can be a great photographer. You just have to pay attention to your surroundings.
Have a look at the photos below. These are all taken by "amateur" photographers with sometimes, nothing more than a point and shoot. Impressive isn't it?
