[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 259253, member: 13090"] Well, I rarely shoot landscapes with a wide angle, personally. Why? Because at 12mm everything will look really, really small, and really, really far away for one thing. When this happens, fine details get "lost" in the overall image. WA lenses are at their best, IMO, when you can get really, really [I]close[/I] to your subject. Instead, when shooting a landscape, try to find a [I]particular aspect[/I] in the landscape before you (aka: "a subject"), then isolate and draw down on it [I]really hard[/I]. Simple, powerful compositions = "Wow!" Factor. Find one mountain in the range, if you will, and shoot that one mountain tightly; don't try to cram the entire mountain range into your frame by going to 12mm or you risk winding up with a weak, boring image with no clear subject. Your viewer's eye won't know what to look at and so will wander endlessly on the frame. Identify, isolate, frame it tightly. [COLOR=#ffffff].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
