Hi yorgasor.
Three great shots all nicely stitched together, but I really like this one. Really eye catching. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.

I like my 70-200 for landscapes as well. I'll usually take a few photos and stitch them together in a panorama like these:

Utah Valley Panorama by yorgasor, on Flickr

I agree, very arresting shot.

I don't yet have a telephoto lens of my own for landscape shots. As everyone posts their shots, could you please post which lens you used and why you like it for landscapes vs anything else you may have tried?

I've used telephotos for landscapes for two reasons - it's what I have mounted (for birds usually), and I don't want to swap lenses for a landscape snap, and/or most landscape views where I go are cluttered by pylons, buildings, road signs, etc - you can get a cleaner image with a longer focal length (though obviously the feel of the picture will be different).
