What's the benefit of using a longer focal length for landscape shots? I've heard some say it condenses the background, which I can see on some of these images. But is that only achievable with a telephoto?

Hi Joe.
You might like to have a look at this posting by Macguyver. A well written article on this topic.

I'm not sure if this tiny landscape fits into this thread. It's more a conceptional than a landscape shot in my opinion. It was taken with the EF 70-300mm L at 252mm. Critics are welcome.

Hi Robert.
I like it, it certainly looks landscapeish to me and it was taken with a lens in the telephoto range, but then my opinion is....well an opinion!
What was it surviving?

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham, Thanks for the critique. Such opinions are what I'm looking for. This tiny pine tree survived the winter and dry surroundings. It was taken last year in spring.

Cheers for that!

Another reason for me to invest in that 70-200mm ii!

I like macro landscapes too.

I love telephoto landscapes

Sadly I recently had to sell my 400mm and the only telephoto I have left is 100mm

But this is a shot from last year when I had the 400
