Beautiful shots Dread Head. I apologize if this isn't the place to ask (I'm a newbie in the DSLR realm - just got my first Canon a week ago), but what equipment do you use to shoot?

if you click and go to the flickr page, down on the right it will tell you what kind of camera they used, and there's a link that will show the full data embedded in the image that will tell you everything (unless it's been removed)

To elaborate I am using a Nikon D300, 90% of my landscapes are with the sigma 10-20mm and some of my latest stuff was with the nikon 80-200.

In the summer, it's pretty much a bunch of fantastic landscape shots stitched together over an entire country/sub-continent - at least along the coast as we travelled.

I haven't played with my camera for a little bit, and I'm starting to get back into it. Found this in my archives. 1/400s, f6.3, ISO 200, 200mm


Click here for the full 1200x800 image.


I've got another one with a small fishing boat in it, but I don't like it as much.

Been messing with shooting panoramas on my 50mm, to make up for it not being wide. Oh its so nice compared to kit lens, no distortion etc.



this one was actually done with the kit lens, still really nice, im loving the detail you can capture by merging images as a panorama

I was so close to going last year when their bank failed, there was a simultaneous deal on airfare/hotel but I passed on it. I really shouldn't have, I've wanted to go for ages and it likely won't be that cheap again

its still pretty cheap relative to history due to the crisis. i spent a month there in may which i think is a good time to go, the weather isn't too bad and its before the main tourist season

No, not anymore. Due to their catastrophic financial meltdown prices have plummeted in Iceland.

As an example; About a year ago I had to pay € 599,- for a ticket from the Netherlands to Iceland. They now offer tickets ranging from € 299,- to € 349,-(including 3 nights in a hotel!).
Hotels are approximately 20% cheaper and car rental seems to be cheaper too.

Edit: info from http://www.icelandair.co.uk

From £239
With the favourable exchange rate, Iceland is becoming one of the hottest destinations in the world. It also allows us to offer this fantastic city break deal which not only consits of flights and a 4 star hotel, it also includes a FREE Golden Circle tour.

The Golden circle tour is Iceland's most popular tour and takes you to the magnificent waterfall, Gullfoss, the world famous geothermal area of Geysir and Thingvellir National Park where Europe meets America at the Continental Divide. The full day tour is booked two days after arrival so it allows you plenty of free time in Iceland to explore Reykjavik and its surroundings.

Go visit Iceland on a 3-6 night break this winter. Available from London Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow.

Here's the re-edit:





Can't decide if I like the almost over-processed look of the first one or the more natural, flatter look of the second. Any ideas?

Something does not look right, the sky around the clouds is slightly darker, did you run this through HDR software? The whole image kind of looks "blotchy, not sure what it is.

Haha, yeah for the most part I will probably go over the whole lot again to see if there is anything I changed my mind about.

Meant to ask you, what do you pack your gear in when backpacking? Do you just take the body and wide angle and pack it in your backpack or something else? I just picked up a medium sized pelican case that should fit body+grip+lens and an extra tele, but drat is it heavy, probably too much so for my pack. The smaller peli's that would hold just the body+lens all seem too shallow to allow for the grip it seems.

Depends what I am taking with me, and by that I mean it depends if I am taking my super tele. If I am not taking it then I will take my camera bag backpack with my short lenses in it. If I am taking my super tele then I will put it in a real backpack and I will take my wide and maybe my 80-200. When using my real backpack I have all my lenses in lens cases.

Those are some cool mountains, but the photography feels pretty uninspired.

I have never seen anything like this mountain. Where is this?



edit time!

sooooo that mountain isn't real.

If you go to the photographer's website ( http://www.michaelnajjar.com/ , warning, it resizes your browser and is kind of a pain to navigate) you can read about the project, "High Altitude". It visualizes stock market trends in mountain vistas. Hence, some of the images you see are in edited to match the period indicated in the description of each image.

Now the photos are suddenly worth looking at.

I'm assuming clarity was jacked up to 100 or near it, because there's a lot of haloing around the edge of the trees/clouds.

Myeah I should have put the details with the link. I thought it was pretty obvious (erosion would take care of a peak like that in a couple years time), but I grew in the mountains so it was obvious to me. Evidently I then forgot to mention it.
