Not all landscape photos have to be wide and sweeping -- in fact, those are often the most difficult to capture. Work with what you have, learn a lot, and then decide if you need to buy a new lens. |
Definitely use the 18-55 and then find a place and shoot from different; directions, time of day. Be broad minded and narrow down to a specific spot or item, I was hiking in the San Gabriel Moutains Near Los Angeles and found a Tree that created an archway, just an example of what you may find in a trek. The more you shoot the more you develope the eye to see. One last thing, pick your foreground well when shooting wide, it has the biggest impact on the results. Happy Hunting.
