[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 421283, member: 13090"] Well first off I'm not knocking wide angle. Wide angle can be good but I think it demands a higher level of thought and composition to be used WELL. Further, what I *am* saying is that it's all too common to try and cram more into a photo than can be while still having a GOOD photo. That being said I have several really bad "memories" photos that I love and there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes their "badness" can be a little endearing. Still, if you want shots with "Wow!" factor you need to consider what makes a good landscape photo and one of those critical things is a clear, strong [I]Focal Point[/I]. That might sound obvious but it's easy to think your photo is going to convey the sense of awe and majesty you're feeling but without a focal point, without a strong subject the viewer can connect with, that's not going to happen. It will trigger memories for you, yes, and again, that's good. Wide can be good but don't feel every shot needs to be taken at 10mm. And a STRONG SUBJECT will balance all that wide-ness so you don't wind up with a big, wiiiiiide shot of teeny tiny little things... zzzzzzz. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
