Loch Ard, central Scotland

[Gloomy1]

I find this a curious site. Lots of posts about cameras and lenses but people don't seem to post the results of all the pondering and money spent on equipment. Loch Ard is 30 miles North of Glasgow and on the edge of the Highlands, this blink of sunshine lasted less than 10 seconds. Feel free to comment. Ken

I find it the other way around. Lots of pictures are posted here, and not too much technical talk. Your nice image would need some information too. Time of day, e.g.

Perhaps I did not explain myself very well. Doing a few calculations. There appear to be more than 10,000 members. Looking at the "Photography and Techniques section" which contains this "Landscape and Travel Photography" section. Excluding the Samples and Galleries section there are approx 2,200 posts, in the gear section the Leica M,R and Q section has 4,400 posts and the more popular camera brands many more. My comment was about the small number of images posted compared with talk about gear. Ken

Then I might be using the forums differently. I press "What's New", and most of the time I see a new image. Could be my settings. I need to check this, although it is okay like this. It could also be that you are counting the images in the camera sections as "technical content". Here is my result on "What's new":

This image defines "depth". I love it! Lots to see both on a micro and large scale, plus the processing is spot-on

Beautiful image. I have not done very much landscape photography but this image makes me want to do so. Mind you your comment about it being such a fleeting moment confirms my fears that it may be very time consuming!

Hi cjf2. I enjoy being outside in fresh air and getting a good image is just a bonus. Some photographers setup their composition and wait for the light, sometimes for hours, I would only do that if I could see a break in the clouds with the light arriving. Landscape photography can be frustrating, so many things that you can't control but when everything works you get a real buzz. Ken
