Great exposure, excellent colour and superb use of the foreground for perspective and to avoid the flat look.:thumbup:

awesome shots. How do you keep the foreground components so sharp, along with the deeper elements of the image? I know that shooting wide angle at a higher f stop your hyperfocal distance comes closer, do you just place the foreground object right at hyperfocal or are you doing something else. Just want to learn because these are great shots. I'm headed out to Moab UT next week and would love to bring a bit more knowledge out there with me. Thanks for sharing.

I usually shoot between f16 to f22, most of the times at f18. I'm still new to landscape so for now I don't mind the hyperfocal distance that much. I usually follow the "focus on 1/3 of the frame" rule. I know this only applies if shooting at f16, but I personally find it sufficient even at f22. Maybe this is the case for UWAs but I'm not sure though. HTH.

I agree, these shots are awesome. In regards to overall sharpness, etc, I've learned it pays to have "large subjects" in your frame. In these shots for example, the rocks, logs, hills (mountains), clouds, water, etc, are all fairly large subjects and I've found that will make your perceived sharpness that much better compared to having thin trees, leafless branches, etc, in the frame.

Great shots, number 2 is my favourite, the water looks like it's smoking.

Your photos was really awesome and it really fascinates me. I really like the 3rd one (last) for it looks like it was smoking and the rocks are so great. I hope you will share some more photos that fascinates.
