Post your best Landscape...

Thought I might start a new thread on this topic, because it doesn't really fit the "nature" thread, but it can cover buildings, bridges, mountains, roads, tracks, ponds and fences and so on. So please post away, if you have anything that suits.

Same position of the Surfers Paradise, skyline down at the Gold coast, but just half an hour earlier than the "blue" shot.

Steve - I like this one too. And no gunk in the corner of the mouth:p

I guess I just always posted landscapes in the nature thread.:confused: So, to help get this thread going, here is one from me:

This is simular to a previous shot I posted in Nature, but this one has a silhouette of a guy on top of the rock ledge in the upper left corner that gives a little perspective to the shot.

I'm liking the new thread already. I've always loved landscape photography, so I hope to be a regular viewer and contributor here. There are plenty of fantastic landscapes around Scotland, but the weather doesn't always co-operate. Sometimes you need a bit of patience. I was at this location for hours waiting for the grey skies to clear, then just before sunset I caught this:

350D, EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM @ 10mm, f/5.6, 1/30s, ISO 100

That's spectacular Andy, I love the red foliage in the first one and the sky and light take on a mystical quality in the second.

Spectacular images to start this tread with folks. Just wanted to make a contribution.

Beautiful contributions Pat and Jonathan.

Steve - Thank you.

Jonathan - You sure do have some great subjects to photograph, and you do natures beauty justice. Another great shot.

The greens on the rocks give a great 3D spatial feel to this image, lovely exposure. Was it getting dark, or very shaded?

Steve, Sorry, I missed this when you posted----great idea. It amazes me that no one had started it before. Anyway, thanks. I can't wait to see the photos on this topic.

Here is one I shot about a little over a year ago---7 shot HDR of the Sandia Mountains in NM.

Thank you. It was shaded. There were a lot of these creeks running down the hills in the Smoky's, but I had to look for shaded ones. If any sun got through, it would wash out the area.
As an example, here is one where the sun poked through... not near as nice:

Very nicely done. I have never done any HDR. One of these days I have to get software to try it.

Wow, Nice stuff here. I have never shot Pano, but this really motivates me to give it a try.

I love this thread!! Nice shots everyone!! I don't do very many landscape shots. There's not much to shoot around here and I can't remember the last time I took a vacation anywhere so I really love looking at these that other people took. I used to vacation quite often in the smokey mountains but it was before I had a dslr. Looking at your photos Pat makes me want to go back!

Keep the beautiful photos coming!!

M_Six - Beautiful shot of Death Valley

Denise - Thank you. I bet soon you'll be able to get some nice iced up lighthouse shots. I am kind of hoping to get some soon.

Very impressive M six.

Thanks, but Mother Nature did all the work. Death Valley is stunning everywhere you look. Amazing place.

Thanks, Bob --- yes, I'm back and forth between Calgary and Banff all the time. So this area is my backyard, and I get lots of opportunities to go play. But photography is only one of the activities that I like to do outdoors. In the winter I'm cross-country skiing a lot, and in the summer I'm a mountain bike fanatic. If you ever come visit, let me know!

Happy New Year!
Sunrise at Castle Mountain, Banff, this morning --- minus 20 degrees C (-4 F)!

Beautiful light on the mountain, Jonothan and I really like the mist, rising and disappearing.

Wow, Jonathan! Looks like something right out of a magazine! Ditto what Steve said regarding the light and mist!

Jonathan - Absolutly beautiful!

Jonathan...that is a postcard I would happily buy...nice shot!

Thanks everyone --- this place is a true Glory Hole, a very easy spot to get a winning shot. But I was still surprised to see three other photographers there at the same time. We all cooperated quite well and made sure that we weren't in each other's photo.

Hey guys,
I have no idea if any of you would be interested in this, but it's a really nice sunset timelapse of Brisbane, Australia at sunset:

Thoughts? :)

Hi Everyone!

I'm back home after my trip to Europe. Had an amazing time. I have an absolute tonne of images to go through but I thought I'd post the first one done thus far. This is along Suðurstrandavegur in Iceland on the first day of our trip. Magical place, so many photographic opportunities.

Anyway, I hope you all had a great christmas and new year with your loved ones and I'll be sure to post many more images in the coming weeks.
