I'd like to start this thread especially for landscapes. Perhaps everyone could post their favourite shot with a brief description of where and when. If you can give a Google Earth location it would be GREAT!
OK, this is currently my favourite landscape picture, which I took in August last year. I won't tell you what camera, it's before I bought my 400D. It's taken on the "island" of Portland on the south coast of England, looking approximately north west. At least, it used to be an island. Many thousands of years ago the sea created a beach of pebbles stretching about 18 miles (29km) to the west, which joined the island to the mainland and created several salt water lagoons behind it. The sea area on the right hand side is Weymouth Bay, which is to be the base for the sailing competition in the 2012 Olympics.

I'd like to submit this one which I took in Sirmione last March, Flektogon 4/20 on 5D:
I don't have a google address but you can find it easily, just look on a map of North Italy for "Lago di Garda" you will find Sirmione easily.

You lot, now,
These are almost seascapes! Landlocked ol' Bill can't compete with this! 
I could dig up some overseas pics and scan them, but they still don't
look like these!
Nice one, Orio! Yours might be a lake picture, not a seascape, still isn't
fair!

this is mine.
Certainly not the greatest shot ever, but this picture has a story behind it that meant a lot to me.
It was taken at 3400m in the Aladaglar mountains in Turkey. Me and the people I was travelling with hiked all the way up to the summit at 3723m.
Now I am not a very energetic person, and I rarely do any sport. So basicly my physical condition is crap.
Surprisingly though, the walk from 2000m (where the basecamp was, and where we slept) up to 3400m (which we did in the same day, and back), went fairly easy, right up till the point where the photo was taken.
At about 3300m we took a break to eat our lunch. We sat down for about an hour.
I don't know what happened, but somehow that must have broken my rhythm.
I remember I got up after lunch, took my backpack and was ready to walk to the summit. And then it hit me.
Suddenly I was overwhelmed by a sudden fatigue, followed by headaches and dizzyness.
By the time I reached the spot where I took this photo, I was completely exhausted, my head felt like it was going to explode and I had fallen behind on the rest of the group. Accute High Altitude Sickness...due to the lower oxigen level, and the fact that we already had climbed over 1000m in one day...
I tried to keep up with the group, but they got further ahead every second.
Well, at that moment I stood still for a while. Took out my camera and took the photo. I looked around me and that's the moment I decided: "I can't give up, I'm too close. The summit is right there!"
I can honestly say that it was one of the hardest things I've ever pulled myself trough, and although that may sound like exagerration, I'm extremely proud that I didn't give up.
It took about 45 minutes to get to the top, at a very slow tempo, due to the sickness, but I eventually made it. After sitting on the top and admiring the view for a while, we signed the logbook and started our descent.
For a while every step was still a bang in my head, but once we passed the 3000m barrier and I took an aspirine, the sickness went away and by the time we got back to basecamp (2000m) I was healthy again
Even more: my physical condition had never been better!
So really, if you ever have the oppurtunity to hike to the top of a mountain like that (with an experienced guide of course), it is more than worth it. Both mentally and physically.
for more pictures from this "adventure": click here: http://tdn9.be/series.php?seriesid=1&postid=41
I hope I didnt bore you too much with the whole story for 1 pic, I must sound like an old man :p
Tom

It's always the result that counts.
The exposure here is perfect.
The only little thing that could be bettered is that perhaps the horizon very slightly tilts towards the right.

I used the tamron 90 and the pentacon 135 but the results were very poor, lacking contrast and exposures were not right even after braketing I will open a separate thread with them and maybe you can advise... |

I only had the Canon Ixus 60 P&S with me, but it takes a nice picture.
