    The number of people that use good equipment and shoot in dull light is pretty common. But the one I laugh at are those who shoot with a 1600m lens, manual focus, and get all excited about their fussy no contrast pictures. Their pictures just are not sharp in all the details.

    Please, for all that is holy, can we stop with the drastically tilted horizon shots??? It stopped being novel exactly the second time it was done.

    Dutch/German angle shots can be useful for medium/close shots, but not for landscapes.

    One Tog I know does this for all his landscape shots. Making a scene look weird is not always making it look better.

    Level horizons for landscapes: Learn it, Love it; Live it. :)
    Gear: Camera obscura with an optical device which transmits and refracts light.

    Yeah, the first thing you should care about is making your horizon level. If you are not even doing that........
