I'd recommend just cutting your own mats. The few mats you have to throw out because you screw them up won't outweigh the cost savings of doing it yourself. It's really not that hard with a good metal ruler or square angle, a pencil and a bevel cutter.

This weekend I decided to drive 4 hours so I could wake up at 4am the next day and climb a drat hill. At least something good came out of it (I hope :v:)





That's some killer light, especially on the second one. I'm sure you could make quite a few print sales on either, though. I'd say it was definitely worth the effort.

Thanks. All of these were shot with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens. I'm replacing it tomorrow with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 - can't wait!

That's awesome. Nothing like making great work with a kit lens.

Yeah, colour me surprised. I still want an ultra-wide though. :v:

I've got the Sigma 10-20 for my D300 and it's pretty awesome. It's actually pretty sharp, and a great deal.

Oh hells yes. Don't you DARE listen to anyone who says these are too dark. Get the color one printed on Kodak Endura Metallic and the black and white ones on true black and white paper immediately.

The view from Sandia Crest.

Whitezombi - Are you filtering these somehow (with a filter or a red-biased channel mixer selection in Photoshop)? The skies look brilliant, perhaps I'm just not used to seeing such beautiful haze-free skies here in Southern California.
