Landscape shots, 50mm+ Let's see them!

[CaveDweller]

Not having a good day. I've just completely smashed my kit 18-55mm lens for my 550D. I'm going away for a long weekend to west Wales and I'll only have my nifty fifty and 70-200L 2.8. Anyone have nice landscape shots without using a wide angle lens? If so let's see them I need some inspiration.

On the upside I have an excuse to upgrade now and it's going to challenge my skills (or lack of) for composition and a nice shot.

You can use a telephopto to compress the space.

150mm on micro four thirds (equivalent on APS-C would be 200mm)

210mm (on APS-C)

 

[CaveDweller]

Cheers. Loads of great shots. I'm leaving soon for the 10+hours drive. I know West Wales has some nice stuff to shoot but hopefully the weather picks up a bit for a good play around.

 

[Brazo]

Hers an 85 on crop so about 135 on full frame. Love compressed landscapes consider yourself lucky to be in that position!

160mm on a 1.6 crop body so 256mm

This was taken overlooking Keswick in the Lake District, I spent ages taking small details out of a very wide vista.

Well, I could cheat and post a shot with a 50mm from a Hasselblad, but that would be a wide angle, of course.

150mm on a Hasselblad 501C - approx 80mm on 35mm

Love that Velvia shot of the Olympics bridge.

 

[Nguss]

Thanks, the slide looks great, my scanning of it less so!

 

[cariadus]

I know what you mean. Sometimes the scanned image looks nothing like what you're seeing on a light box, does it?

 

[Nguss]

Deffo, the colours seem a bit off with that one, but I think they were unusual to start off with and with Velvia I am never sure they were the actual colours in any event!

Another one from me...

An old one I took with the D90 + 80-200 2.8200mm - we were quite a bit away from the mountain at the time. Pulled it in nicely.

 

[Lhannaloves]

Alan, your first image with the tree & the water - its stunning!
Love it

I don't do much landscape photography, but here are a few on Micro 4/3, so 2x crop vs 35mm full frame....

It's great seeing landscapes that aren't all as wide as possible!!

1 & 2 are 135mm & 3rd shot 50mm

 

[markmullen]

I used to go wide all the time, my current trend seems to be a bit narrower view, in portrait, in 4:3

One other at 50mm

This has actually turned into a very nice image thread Some beaut's above

 

[CaveDweller]

Loads of nice shots in this thread. I forgot I started this lol. I enjoyed my time in West Wales and it was even more fun being restricted to not having a wide angle lens for landscapes. Made me think more about what I had to do to get the shot I wanted. Granted I didn't get every shot I wanted though. The weather didn't exactly play ball but it did give me a chance to try some nice moody pictures in B+W. I'll get my pictures up later on or tomorrow.
