There's some really phenomenal work in this thread, especially the stuff on this page from 8th-samurai and MyFrosty!

I think I might be doing it wrong. lately I prefer to use my 85mm on landscapes and my 20mm on portraits.

Your first instinct with a landscape is to go wide, but it's pretty challenging to fill a frame that big and still have an interesting composition. Using a telephoto to pick out and isolate the interesting stuff is where it's at. When I use my 12-24, it's usually to get a bunch of poo poo that's close up (as in, several feet away).

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)

or if they shot film :cool:

Yeah, Iceland is a loving beautiful place to visit. Pretty expensive, though.

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

A few more shots from Tibet. I've been procrastinating doing any post on these forever.







You should post a trip report, I'm interested to hear about it. I've only been as close as Qinghai, my Chinese friends wanted to go to Tibet but thought they would die of altitude sickness or something, so we didn't go :-\

That's a great shot, worth the set-up/wait.

Just got back from China and am wondering what to do with these shots from the Great Wall. The weather was really rainy and while some shots have a good atmosphere to them, some are just plain hazy. I'm not really sure what I need to do in post to get rid of the color cast in them.







The second to last one is the most atmospheric, but the haze is mostly annoying in the other ones. Even if it wasn't rainy the generic air pollution haze can be kinda bad around Beijing and other big cities (actually, right after a big rain is the best time to take photos in those sort of conditions).
