Post Your Best Landscapes

[PropeNonComposMentis]

....
This is in Rocky Mountain National Park a few weeks ago. I would have liked to have been even lower and further to the left, but I was as low as my tripod would allow, and on the very edge of the creek bank. I've got a few versions of this photo, but this one is the closest to 'reality' as I remember it.

Hi C4RBON.
Snow Melt Water + Blue Skys = Great ! every time !

In my experience, I have stood in a creek, drop to one knee, held the camera against the top of my hiking boot, or on my knee.
Most "quality" Tripods have a 'tread' in the bottom of the Centre Staft. Basically, the camera hangs between the Tripod legs. My fluid-ball-head tripod allows the Centre Shaft to be removed, flipped, and re-inserted from below (as well as the thread in the opposite end). Camera is upside-down, just focus and set normally, then flip the shaft. Takes about the same time as dropping the legs to shortest pos'. There are adapters that slide into the Hot Shoe also.

Looks like you had enough shutter-speed to shoot hand-held.

Hi rcarca. Really moody shots, I like !
That's sad about your Mother, but great that you can still take her places

If I could make a recommendation, Canoneer sounds way better than Canonphile. After all, guys who shoot with Muskets are Musketeers. no? yes? maybe?

And, who is thieving your Lens' ? (obviously Bastards) But what is the story ?

Thanks PNCM!!! My mother is in her mid 80s so has had a great walking career!

I chose Canonphile because there are so many Canonphobes on CR! I like what Canon do, I like their cameras and lenses, and I have no desire to switch camps. Not to say that I am closed minded, I just don't need to feel the urge to whinge and complain every time they don't do something that is not designed specifically for me!

Most of my lenses were nicked from my flat. Fortunately I had a few with me when the burglar broke in but they took some of my favourites as well as some that I might not choose to replace. Because I was there temporarily I had not even got around to getting insurance in place. So whereas I thought I had my GAS under control, it is now pumping like mad!!!

Thanks for commenting!

River canyon a mile from my house this morning.

Very nice picture, spandau. Well done.

April showers scurry across the Vale of York, England. Taken from the Yorkshire Wolds above Millington. Although I did shoot this as a three frame bracket, this is produced from just a single exposure - the darkest one - where i had just held the sun in the clouds, so on the original raw there is nothing blown at all, although in post i have let it go a tiny bit to give the right feeling.

Lovely shot. Nicely done Sporgon.

Thanks Click ! Bye the way I've just noticed that I forgot to spot it. The one thing Dilbert and I have in common !

Like it a lot! Made me realise how long it's been since I've been back to Yorkshire (grew up in West Yorkshire)

Many thanks Gammy, as you will know this is in East Yorkshire where the Wolds really play second fiddle to the North Yorkshire Moors, but the Wolds have some amazing 'out of the blue' glacial cut valleys.

@Willem: beautiful landscapes. New Zealand looks to be a remarkable place. I nearly ended up there permanently but that's another story.

All gorgeous shots, but the falls is the stand-out for me. Beautiful!

Agree, these are all amazing.

Thanks all
This is my second attempt at Purakaunui and you learn from what you did wrong the first time and a bit of luck. However I think my 16mm is just not wide enough even if you go stand in the icy cold water

A very different angle. Very nice.

Thanks Click.
Falling Spring, VA. Was hoping to see a rainbow at the falls, but light wasn't cooperating. My frontal long exposure also failed because of the mist on the lens.
