Thanks all for the replies. I think all things considered I should stick with the A6000 for now. After all it is the size of this that has got me out taking the camera with me again. I think what I'm really missing is my old 16-35 and after reading a lot of reviews it sounds like the best option...

Hi all I'm getting back in to photography after a good few years. I used to have a Canon 5Dmk1 with 16-35 and 70-200 etc and was big in to landscapes. I sold all this a while ago and switched to a Sony A6000 with kit lens and a Sigma 30 2.8 which has been the kit to get me back in to...

If you are looking for some inspiration to take some landscapes, check out Marc Adamus' site below. I know it always works for me! http://www.marcadamus.com/

Thanks! Scotland is such a fantastic place, makes it easy Thanks - have been trying to work this out :shrug: Thanks, didnt realise I had left this on for one of the galleries - have fixed this now :thumbs: Thanks for the kind comments, agree on looking at exif info! I was thinking...

Knew I shouldn't have started this thread - only a matter of time until I saw a lens I have always lusted over! I know I don't need them but always lusted after the 24 TSE & Nikon 14-24!

Hi everyone As the title really, thought it would be interesting and hopefully helpful to get an idea of the lens or lens combos people use for their landscape photography. Hopefully might find out on something I'm missing out on! On full frame I use Canon 16-35mm and 70-200mm IS. I find with...

Hi everyone I have just redone my website and would massively appreciate some feedback on it. www.freddieridge.com I have changed the galleries to just 4, and cut down on photos in them. So would really some help on the following: * I have split galleries geographically - think this is the...

Below are some photos from the spots I enjoyed the most. Please note these are massively biased as Snaefellsness was the only place I had good weather! Snaefellsness Peninsula: Godafoss Hvitserkur I REALLY wanted to get to Jokulsarlon and Landmannalaugar but didn't have time. I am...

Hi, thanks. Set up I used for this was: Tripod Mirror Lock Up For focusing I actually set up just before darkness fell and focused on the mountain in the distance, set to manual focus and taped the lens there to be ready for the night (leaving my tripod in the same place) I used an ISO of 1600...

Hey mate, I went to Iceland last year and was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the aurora. I went in April, which isnt the best time to see them so got lucky - although did put in the effort. Drove to the spot (away from any lights in the middle of the night and waited 7 nights in a row!)

I have bought and sold quite a few lenses, and have settled with a 16-35, 50, and a 70-200. Suits just about everything for me, and I haven't felt the need to upgrade for the past 2 years, just been enjoying using it. I got a macro but found I got bored with it pretty quickly - its a bit of...

Hi I'm heading off to the Isle of Skye on Tuesday with the family and would really appreciate recommendations of places to see. I have travelled to the Isle of Skye before and can categorically say it is my favourite place I have ever visited. I've been twice before and have photographed a...

Hi, when I bought my first camera 450D + kit lens, I did exactly as you want to and bought the 55-250. However I just sold the 55-250 a few months ago, having used it about 10 times in 3 years! I just didn't use the focal range of that lens. If I were you I would try out just the kit lens for...

Thanks for the comment! For the water effect I use filters, although the blurry water comes from longer shutter speeds so a filter is only necessary if the natural light doesn't produce a long enough shutter speed. None of my images are HDR but I use graduated neutral density filters on...

Right, I'm sold I'll take the two of them, looks like a nice day after all. Going to be ridiculously busy with royal wedding tourists though!
