Andy, I have been to Scotland only once and it is beautiful. I think you have captured it well!
Steve, the pier shots are really good. I like the first one you posted the best, due to the sunset.
Steve: Nice sunrise shots, love the colours of the sky in the early morning.
here's one from my yellowstone trip

and one of Grand Teton

Magnificent vistas Franco.
Not quite as inspiring, but from a wander around Victoria Point this morning.

Nice capture Jonathan...I like the pastel like back ground colours and the crispness of the front part really makes it. Well done. :)
+1...very nice shot Jonathan.
Wonderful shot. There was absolutely no wind it seems as the flowers in the foreground are sharp even with your 15 secs exposure. I really love the colours.
Jonathan:
Another beauty. Great foreground, reflections, mountains...
I wish there was something other than flat land around here... you make me want to live by the mountains.
Franco:
Yellowstone and the Tetons are beautiful places. I hope you will show more.
Thanks everyone --- I had this shot in mind for a while and I just needed to go and get it. The lack of wind was definitely nice for the photo, but it also meant that the mosquitoes were having a field day. I needed the 15 second exposure just to make sure they were blurred out of the image! It is a crazy year for the bugs... normally it's not anywhere near this bad. Pat you should think about making a visit to the mountains sometime --- I will give you a guided tour. Same goes for anyone else on the forum. September is the best month of all, so give it some thought! Just bring a bucket of deet.

Oh you should definitely ride around Stanley Park, and scout some locations for sunrises & sunsets while you're there. The best hike is the 'Grouse Grind', up to the top of Grouse Mountain. It's rather steep but takes less than an hour if you can push it. There is a large bear enclosure up there too if you want a shot of a captive grizzly, so bring a zoom lens. UBC itself is quite nice, and a stroll through the Endowment Lands area is always rewarding. Have fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing your results!
I just checked out the Grouse Mountain website. Looks like a fun stop on the trip. I went ahead and scheduled a day on the mountain. Thanks for the info!Quote:

Taking a walk along the Seawall is also a lot of fun

Whistler mountain is also a hot spot

And I think Jonathan must be in pretty great shape because if you can do "The Grind" in under an hour, you are in shape! As far as I know there's a competition every year - last I heard the record is 27 minutes. When I did it I remember thinking: "This is like climbing a ladder with rungs very far apart for an hour!"
The view is COMPLETELY worth it though.
Hope you have a great time in beautiful BC!
Cheers,
Damian
Thanks Damian,Quote:

Yeah, I watched a video of people climbing the "Grind". Looks rough. Should be a fun climb, but an awful decent (at least for my knees). I don't think I'll be hauling the 600mm f4L IS II up there...oh wait, I don't have that anyways :)
Cheers,
Dustin
Great shot Jonathan.
Here is another one from Wello Point.

Thanks for viewing.
Thanks Steve -- and likewise for your shot! I like the people in the frame... it makes me imagine being there myself.
Dustin don't worry about the descent for the Grind. You're actually not allowed to walk down, and must buy a one-way ticket for the gondola. My last climb was 45 minutes, carrying just a 24-70 lens. Next time I do it I'll bring a bigger lens, so I'll have an excuse for being slower :p
Nice one Steve!
Was this one bare naked or filtered for the kids! I also like people in the frame, I used to not like it, but now I like it more. Especially a couple like that, walking in the Sunset and arguing. :confused:
Rich
Thanks guys, this was with the 70-200 and just a CP filter.
Zeiss 21mm and a ND32 filter.

Very nice! I have to admit, I'm a sucker for long exposure landscape shots. Here is one of mine, 17-40mm taken at the lower portion of Linville Falls this past December.Quote:

Thanks for viewing....Brant
Steve, that shot is absolutely stunning! Is there much processing in such a photo or is the Aussie wintersky just better than the Dutch summer sky?:rolleyes:
Brant, I love your photos. At first I thought it were some sand dunes.
The clouds, the blue sky, and the golden rolling hills all come together to make a great compisition. Well done.Quote:

It was funny reading Sean's thread about not having shot in awhile and needing to get out. I was at about 4 weeks without taking pictures, so it was nice to go get some....
Thanks for viewing....

Both these pictures speak to me-Quote:

your second feature, It's the composition, i can't put my finger on it.. but whole image is pleasing puts me at ease... would make a great screensaver or desktop background
Alberta, Canada...unless you are way up there, you aren't too far, and it is a pretty drive.... ;)Quote:

Great shots Brant, love that first lumpy green one.
Thanks Jan, the skies here are good in winter, normally have to fight for room in good spots when the sky "colours up".
yep I think that was in the back of my mind- but I like your image betterQuote:

A few from Sunday afternoon.

Joel, good to see you posting in landscape! Nice PP, I still struggle with HDR

I was just looking at the photos of the contest finalists on Oudoor Photography's website and any one of these could fit right in there! Amazing shots guys ...really beautiful!
+1... I agree, great shots all.Quote:
