[Tersha]

Starting a month of Landscape photography with Wide Angle Landscape!
Create images that pop. Think about focal length, possible distortion, using filters,
Not everybody has a wide lens, so if you don’t have one, then use any lens that you have, please tell us what lens you are using. 🙂

[Patrick]

[Wendy P]

What a great holiday memory.

[Patrick]

Thank you Wendy  , it was a case of jump out of car and grab photo from the road as we were going down to the old church at the bottom of the image , lovely place is County Donegal

[ElinL]

What a landscape !

[Patrick]

Thank you very much the photo does not do the place justice tbh Elin , beautiful in every direction and when you add the coastal stretches’ you just want to stay there and forget going home lol

[ElinL]

It is a beautiful shot Patrick – really !

[Patrick]

Thank you Elin 🙂

[Tersha]

Beautiful Patrick … the Emerald Isle!

[Patrick]

Thank you so much Tersha 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

That’s a vast landscape Patrick with a ruin and some other buildings. Love this 🙂

[Patrick]

Hi Dahlia thank you so much 🙂

[Rob Eyers]

Beautiful Patrick. It needs to be seen large. It would be great if everyone would give their location as well as lens.

[Patrick]

Thank you very much Rob , it sure is a lovely place can’t wait to go back in June 🙂

Here is a drone video (not mine) of the area

[Pat Garrett]

@patrickw – wonderful vantage point and terrific view. I love the scale set by the church and buildings in the foreground, the water and inlet – then “habitation” vanishes into the beyond.

[Patrick]

Thank very much Pat 🙂

[Kristi]

This is great. I love how the stream section is lit up. Beautiful capture!

[Patrick]

Thank you so much Kristi 🙂

[John Teate]

So much eye candy in this one.  All the small details and highlights are fun in this image.  Great job Patrick, this is a wonderful image.

[Patrick]

Much appreciate your kind words John thank you 🙂

[Timothy S. Allen]

A very nice expansive image.

[Patrick]

Thank you Tim.

[ElinL]

Vestrahorn shot with a 24 mm. Maybe not wide enough for the definition….?

[Patrick]

Lovely landscape well shot , nice work Elin 🙂

[Dave Watkins]

Beautiful. Love that reflection and the rich, earthy tones.

[Wendy P]

Beautiful. I love the reflections.

[Tersha]

Great detail Elin, stunning scene!

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Gorgeous mountains Elin. I love the earthy tones too! 🙂

[Rob Eyers]

Lovely photo Elin. I never took full advantage of that location when we were there. Good reason to return I think.

[LeanneC]

Very nice Elin. Always love your landscape images.

[Pat Garrett]

I’m no expert on wide angle landscapes, but I do know this one is fascinating and totally stunning.

[Kristi]

Great shot Elin. I love images with great water reflection!

[John Teate]

Color and reflections are really stunning here Elin.

[Timothy S. Allen]

A beautiful image and tack sharp focus.

[ElinL]

Thank you guys for kind comments, very much appreciated. It is almost impossible to screw up this scenery why it is very popular amongst visiting photographers. Rob, if you plan another tour this summer/autumn would be a good time – the tourism will not recover fully before 2022.

[Rose Marie]

I love your image, Elin. Yes it has a resemblance to my image below.

[Wendy P]

Lightning strike. 15mm wide angle lens on tripod (trying not to get hit!)

[Patrick]

Lovely capture Wendy a real dynamic scene unfolding there , i love watching stormy weather but don’t see that much generally round here , more rain than anything else 🙂

[Tersha]

Wonderful dramatic shot Wendy!

[Dave Watkins]

Terrific shot. Love the contrast of the clear, starry sky above the storm.

[Wendy P]

Many thanks, Dave.

[Rob Eyers]

Great capture Wendy. Lots going on.

[Wendy P]

Cheers, Rob. It was quite a night’s shooting!

[LeanneC]

You are so brave Wendy! Great image.

[Wendy P]

Thanks Leanne. It was worth it!

[Pat Garrett]

Certainly captures the drama and suspense of what is coming. Beuatiful.

[Wendy P]

Cheers Pat.

[Kristi]

Excellent work Wendy. Very moody and cool!

[Wendy P]

Thanks Kristi. It took a while to capture the lightning strike but it was worth the wait.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Great image Wendy. Love the drama and it’s great with a few stars 🙂

[Wendy P]

Many thanks for your comment.

[John Teate]

Such a wonderful image with the quiet night sky above the heavy storm.  Great capture Wendy.

[Wendy P]

Much appreciated John.

[Rose Marie]

Yes, Wendy, a real drama unfolding in your shot. I love how you put the horizon very low which emphasizes what is going on in the sky.

[Tersha]

[Patrick]

Lovely rolling hills , beautiful landscape Tersha 🙂

[Tersha]

Thanks Patrick!

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Your photos always make me want to visit there @tersha. I get the same feeling with @nikon-nut’s

[Tersha]

Thanks Rob, @admin, it is very picturesque here, you’d probably love it! I agree about John’s, @nikon-nut, photos, I’d love to visit there!

[Rob Eyers]

Lovely rolling hills Diane.

[Tersha]

Thanks Rob!

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love it Diane. The landscape along with the blue sky and clouds looks truly magical 🙂

[Tersha]

Thanks Dahlia, it is really magical there! 🙂

[John Teate]

It makes you feel quiet and still.  Nicely seen and captured Diane, always love the rolling hills.

[Tersha]

Thanks John!

[Andre P.]

Insignificant landscape, wide-angle at 14 mm (EQ35 = 21mm), conversion with Nik Silver Efex

[Patrick]

Loving these clouds Andre , nice work mate 🙂

[Andre P.]

Thanks, Patrick

[Dave Watkins]

Beautiful sky. And I like that half frame provided by the trees. Nice work.

[Andre P.]

Thanks, Dave

[Rob Eyers]

Nice cloud images Andre. IMHO the best clouds are these cumulus ones. You just know when you see them that the weather is perfect.

[Andre P.]

Thanks for the comment, Rob. Yes, these clouds are typical in summer. But that doesn’t mean the good weather will last long…

[John Teate]

Very cool sky capture Andre.  They clouds and sky just seem to go on forever.

[Timothy S. Allen]

Nik Silver Efex Pro is a fantastic software for B&W. It’s one of my favorite go to programs.

[Tersha]

Lovely clouds and framing Andre!

[Tersha]

One from yesterday, Clywedog hill, Infra Red…

Hi Wendy thank you so much 🙂

[LeanneC]

Really like this Patrick. A great moody feel to it. Super sky!

[Patrick]

Many thanks Leanne much appreciated 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Beautiful, Patrick. The clouds and sight lines are exploding from the center.

[Patrick]

Thanking you Pat 🙂

[John Teate]

Well seen and captured.  The lines and the sky just keep your eyes moving.

[Patrick]

Thanks very much John 🙂

[Timothy S. Allen]

Great clouds. Seems like a disturbing event taking place.

[Patrick]

Many thanks Tim 🙂

[Tersha]

Great moody landscape Patrick!

Nice one, Wendy.

[Wendy P]

Many thanks.

[Tersha]

Lovely light Wendy, and a great feeling of calm!

[LeanneC]

A couple of wide angle shots from our last visit to the Oregon coast

By the Deep Sea (17mm)

The Sea Will Rise (17mm)

 

[Pat Garrett]

@leannecleavele Compelling and definitely “calling” me to visit the western coast.

[Kristi]

Great captures Leanne, I love the Oregon Coast. Nicely done.

[Patrick]

Beautiful photos Leanne , love both 🙂

[Wendy P]

Nicely done!

[Timothy S. Allen]

Love the “By the Deep Sea” with its “S” curve. Leads my eye directly to the curing water coming into the beach above.

[Gene S]

Excellent compositions and AWESOME delivery of a broad tonal range and pleasing colors.  I bet the JPGs out-of-camera looked almost as good and I can’t imagine how long it took in Photoshop to get everything  Just Right, especially the highlights.

[Rose Marie]

Magnificent shots, Leanne!

[ElinL]

Awsome shots Leanne !

[David Chesterfield]

Cradle Mountain (Tas) @ 12mm

 

 

[Pat Garrett]

I have no words – each image is breath taking. I especially have my eye on “Hogarth Falls”

[Timothy S. Allen]

Wonderful to have the building in the mid-ground. It really gives a perspective to the entire photograph.

[David Chesterfield]

Hogarth Falls @ 7mm

 

[Patrick]

All lovely photos David , this waterfall is my fav .. beautiful landscapes 🙂

[Timothy S. Allen]

Very nice use of a long exposure.

[David Chesterfield]

The nut, Stanley @ 7mm

 

[LeanneC]

Really like this one David. The lines are all working! And what a cool looking spot.

[Timothy S. Allen]

Some how the clouds above mirror the walkway leading out to the beach. It creates an interesting balance to the image.

[Rose Marie]

I like this picture very much, David.

[David Chesterfield]

The hazards @ 7mm

 

[Timothy S. Allen]

Nice leading lines on the beach. My eyes are led out to the water, mountains and back to the beach by the flowing long clouds. Nicely seen and captured.

[Rob Eyers]

New Zealand, North tip of the North Island @16mm

[Patrick]

Gorgeous composition , the colors are awesome as well 🙂

[Rob Eyers]

Thank you Patrick.

[Wendy P]

A picture postcard, Rob. Great shot.

[Rob Eyers]

Thanks Wendy.

[Rose Marie]

Very beautiful image, Rob.

[ElinL]

Beautiful Rob !

[Connie G]

A local favorite around Southern Idaho – the City of Rocks.  This is Castle Rocks State Park.  Shot with my Tamron 24-70.

[Patrick]

Another gorgeous landscape , nice shooting Connie 🙂

[Wendy P]

I like the band of sunlight in the middle. Very nice.

[John Teate]

The light in this makes you really following the image throughout seeing all the rock details.  Very well captured Connie.

[Pat Garrett]

YES! I couldn’t define what made this the powerful interesting image it is – you said it for me.

[Holly K]

Such a beautiful composition!

[Kristi]

Blue hour. This is one of my favorites. I don’t have a wide angle lens. And later got a 50mm, this was taken with my 70-300mm zoom lens. Then I cropped it for the vision I hade. Best viewed large.

[Wendy P]

This is almost surreal. Very interesting effect.

[Kristi]

Thank you Wendy 😊

[LeanneC]

I like the layers of hills and mountains. Very nice.

[Kristi]

Thank you Leanne 😊

[John Teate]

Love the editing and feel of this image.  Well done Kristi, the transition from dark to light works really great here.

[Kristi]

Thank you John 😊 I’ve messed around and re-edited this a few times with a new program. But none of them seem to beat the original edit.

[Rose Marie]

Striking image, Kristi.

[Kristi]

Thank you Rose!

[ElinL]

Stunning image Kristi, one for the wall !

[Kristi]

Thank you Elin, I really should consider that!

[Kristi]

Took this one this past weekend. 50mm prime.

[Patrick]

Both lovely photos Kristi nice work ..love the sunrays just popping through the clouds in photo 2 🙂

[Kristi]

Thank you Patrick 😊

[Timothy S. Allen]

Really nice. I like how you’ve captured the light rays.

[Kristi]

Thank you Timothy 😊

[Timothy S. Allen]

I was out shooting early Sunday morning in the South East area of Sonoma County, California. It’s pastoral and lots of hills, sheep, and cattle. I was working on the ultrawide angle assignment shooting with a Tamron 16-300mm lens at 16mm. It’s attached to a Canon 70D crop sensor camera.

[Pat Garrett]

The lines and colors are superb. What a beautiful scene. Sorry – this was meant for Kristi.

[Pat Garrett]

This so nice and simple. Like the geometry in the utility poles.

[Timothy S. Allen]

Thank you, Pat.

[Patrick]

Nice strong leading lines running along the ground out to the pylons Tim 🙂

[Timothy S. Allen]

Thank you, Patrick

[Robert Apple]

Well I suppose I better get in on this one. My Back Yard the Bighorn Mountains, literally shot from my deck in Buffalo Wy.
Voigtländer Nokton 10.5 mm/1:0.95

Click me please.

[Wendy P]

A stunning shot, especially enlarged. What a view you have!

[LeanneC]

You have a beautiful backyard, Robert.

[John Teate]

Your backyard landscape work really looks great Robert 😉  Such a lonely mood to this image looking out over such a large area.  Nice capture.

[Patrick]

Very nice image Robert looks great in large view as ever 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Stunning backyard.

[Holly K]

I’m looking at the layers over and over.

[LeanneC]

One of our local lakes – Nicola. The saying is “A lake a day, as long as you stay” (24mm)

[Pat Garrett]

Beautiful, Leanne. Wonderful leading lines as the lake threads its way through the mountains.

[Rose Marie]

Very beautiful image, Leanne

[Tersha]

Local-ish nature reserve, Gilfach …

EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

[Patrick]

Looks like my kind of spot , lovely shot Tersha 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

A stepping stone straight into the frame. Like the hues too.

[Patrick]

28mm on my phone

 

[Pat Garrett]

Now that is such a simple composition, Patrick, and to my eye -“less” is “more” here.

[Patrick]

Thank you Pat 🙂

[Rose Marie]

I also love the simplicity of this shot as well as the juxtaposition of white clouds and green earth.

[Pat Garrett]

Now I realize how few “landscapes” I take!  Sunset at one of my favorite beaches. The lens was a 55-300mm wide angle I’d rented “for fun” , cropped sensor, focal length 85 mm

[Patrick]

Lovely scene Pat , gorgeous colors 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you, Patrick.

[Timothy S. Allen]

Very diagonal lines with the clouds, and the rocky area in the ocean. Well composed.

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you Timothy.

[Holly K]

The colors and lines give it a peaceful look.

[Pat Garrett]

It was peaceful, Holly, I was the only one there  –  a usually busy beach.

[Rose Marie]

Lovely shot, Pat.

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you, Rose Marie. And yes, the colors were especially vibrant yet soft that night.

[ElinL]

Beautiful view Pat – lovely colours !

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you, Elin.

[Tersha]

Amazing Pat, love the colours!

[Holly K]

Davis Park, Redlands, CA.  About 27 mm

[Tersha]

Good POV Rose Marie.

[Rose Marie]

ILCE-6000 14mm f/4

[ElinL]

Wow Rose Marie – this is a stunning take on Vestrahorn 🙂

[Rose Marie]

Yes, Elin. It reminded me of your photo. Thanks for mentioning it. My photo was taken in Iceland. Don’t ask me the name of the place, but definitely on the south shore in a light drizzle.

[ElinL]

The name is Vestrahorn – it is the same place as on my photo above 🙂

[Rose Marie]

No wonder it looked the same…

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Lovely tones and colours in this landscape Rose Marie 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Just incredible, Rose Marie.

[Patrick]

Agree with all , lovely photos Rose Marie 🙂

[Tersha]

Beautiful Rose Marie!

[ElinL]

A warm place to take a brake

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Gorgeous view Elin. Love how you have framed the path of the lava flow. Do you feel the heat from this distance? Just curious 🙂

[Patrick]

Do you feel the heat , i was thinking the same question 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

I love the gentle lines and glowing river of lava through the dark of the mountains – the glow repeated in rim light on the spectators. I think this might be as close as I’d want to get….

[Patrick]

Another cracking image , Lovely share Elin 🙂

[Tersha]

Wow, beautiful image Elin, great composition.

[Rafael Silvera G.]

this is breathtaking!

[Tersha]

Took these today, bracketed and processed in Lightroom.

10-22 wide angle lens

[Patrick]

Lovely photos , loving the clouds in both and that valley in the first is a fantastic viewing .. Another great job Tersha 🙂

[David Chesterfield]
