Re: To Polonaise: George
No need to continue George, I think I get it that you're purposefully attacking me for some issue other than this shot. You are wanting to provoke a reaction in me for some reason. Your critique is...

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah I do get distortion when very wide. I use PTLens software for sorting it out. It was recommended by somebody on this site - and its only cheap.

I personally wouldnt call using a grad filter as manipulation, but in its broadest terms putting something in front of the lens could be classed as manipulation. As I was looking straight into the...

Hi Jernej,
The sun has just about gone by now. I take an exposure from the bottom part of the picture, then recompose, and slide the appropriate strength grad in. When you say you have a .9 ND...

Re: To vikous: Thanks
Hi Viktor,
I always carry the 17-40 and the 24-70 and usually either the Sigma 150 or the Canon 100-400. Sometimes I wonder why I bother as I hardly ever use anything except the 17-40.

I think I will use Photomatix to help me process conventional shots, as I still will always go out in the field...

Hi Viktor,
Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, I only used the 24-70L here because I wanted a tighter crop on the woods to stop too much white sky from showing. Quality wise, I...

Thanks for your comment. No, the sky has not been manipulated. It was crazy pink. And yes, the rule of thirds virtually ALWAYS applies to landscape photography.
cheers,
