The sort of picture that makes you go 'WOW!' but would do damn all in a competition because the black foreground is boring and there is too much non-descript sky. And the audience sites there thinking 'who gives a crap, I love it' (I know I do)

It's Monte Civetta from Passo Fedaia but the point of view chosen is really not very interesting. The blurred clouds take away any interesting detail from the clouds. This would have been better without the use of the ND filter. Also better would have been to walk out onto the dark area and shoot over the valleys but maybe it was too late to do that safely so kept to the vehicle track?

Looking at his 500pix images, the best would be the color shot of "sassolungo evening." Some early snow!

Thank you for your feedback :)
Indeed there was very little time to shoot, all evening there were lots of clouds and it suddenly opened to this view. I had only few minutes before it was gone, but I also did shot without ND filter and I'll process it later. Btw. I did darken the foreground intentionally - it was captured brighter.

3 pictures from a trip to Iceland several years ago :)

All three were taken with a 1000D and a Sigma 18-250 IS (horrible lens, in hindsight)

Here's a sunrise shot of Harlech Castle, one of Edward I's "wall of steel" castles to keep those Welsh guys and gals under control. When the castle was built the sea came right up to the bottom of the cliff edge that the castle is built on.

A 6 portrait frame pano, lugged my studio 058 up there to get the best results. 5D + 135L 1/100 @f/11, ISO 100. I'm favouring the 5D for panos because - I just like it ! The whole pano is 48 mp.

I got there before sunrise to set up and found a very pleasant lady sat up there on a bench, who then offered to go and make me a cup of coffee ! Brought it back with buns too. Excellent. :) It did occur to me that she might have drugged the coffee so she could have her evil way with me, but as my luck doesn't run that far I wasn't worried.

Thanks Gamme, maybe you should shoot a few frames in Wales instead of Scotland !

With more coffee and buns I would do more early morning shots!

Thanks Guys. Yes a nice hot cup of ground coffee provided as the sun rises beats bringing your own flask !

Will a special R5 ever be created (for landscape photographers) much like the EOS 5D SDS?
