Widelux landscapes

Nice photos! Oh and by the way did you try and over expose the sky or was it to hard to get the tree exposed properly with the sky?

The Mud Creek pics were taken near the end of my local mountain bike trails on a bright, hot August afternoon. It's like a peninsula in a river. Outside the trees the sun was glaring, but under the big cottonwoods it was much darker. I exposed for the trees and grass, and knew the sky was going to block up.

The best days for the widelux are overcast days. It's really hard to shoot a 140 degree shot without getting the sun or other strong highlights somewhere in the scene, and you get contrast shifts and stuff due to lens flare. I look at this camera as a fun camera that happens to take fantastic pics. It is differently shaped, but not bigger than a 35mm SLR so it's easy to carry around.
