north korea isn't the most friendly place for photographers
[QUOTE=evilking1;25651704]Well it's a matter of taste and composing of the picture, but sometimes I think that an animal in the right place might bring that something to landscapes that would otherwise look slightly dull.
And I have heard, I've had one of those smaller ones, just couldn't ever put it anywhere decent to take a shot, and moving it around while mounted was just plain awful, so I switched to Slik tabletop tripod, especially after shooting some video clips.
Although I haven't really figured out where to really mount it while taking pictures on the move... My camera goes to Iso 12,800 and lens goes down to 1.8 so light is not so big deal lol.[/QUOTE]
A bit like this? NOT TAKEN BY ME BY THE WAY ><

A possibly boring shot of some mountains and it's reflection, but the Ibex on the left makes the image for me.
It was in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. Went and saw it on Saturday - excellent as usual.

1.8 isn't exactly ideal for landscapes.

Depends, if you want to focus on something on the foreground and make the background less distractive, lower apertures work well.
But I meant for all-around pictures, taking nothing but landscapes can get boring lol

Yes, excactly like that. The animal might just be that "something" that makes it one of the best pictures you will ever take.
