Missing elements of your photography??
Or as we used to say at work: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got"!
Forum: Photographic discussion
I guess it all comes down to your budget. For all round nature photography I think the Sigma 50-500 takes a lot of beating. Having said that, I mostly use a 600mm with a 1.4x converter (if needed) for birds, plus a Sigma 150mm macro for most other things. A 70-300 VR is ideal for those situations when you do not want to be carrying too much weight. That sorts out the nature photography, but eve...

Lanscape Photography features
What is a landscape? It is interesting to note what is actually classified as a landscape in the PP. In the Great British Landscape Competition the winners were an animal picture and a Lochscape and the runners up were all seascapes. No rolling hills and green fields! Obviously any picture that has the slightest hint of land in it is a landscape. My understanding of the English langua...

Let's ditch 'street photography'
There is bias towards lanscape photography on this website. Well, the landscape is always there around you, be it country or urban landscape. To me, the urban landscape is the more interesting. However, both need some exploration and patience for the best result. So does street photography. jas

Forum: ePHOTOzine discussion
Landscapes can be serious studies giving personal feelings for the place or travel pictures that will appeal to a much wider audience. Composition and exposure comes with experience. It should be borne in mind that colour shots of lanscapes do not always need brilliant sun and clouds.
