I like this 65:24 a lot!

Thanks, true 65:24 is not an available aspect ratio in LR mobile and you cannot add it manually in custom mode like you can with desktop version so all you can do is estimate with the sliders. The photo is a bit wider than 65:24, I was more following the rule of thirds.

I could have done 65:24 jpeg with the camera but by this stage I could hardly feel my fingers (cold wind) and could hardly my shoe laces when changing back at the car.

The Belfast Lough 'Riviera' from Bangor West looking towards Helen's Bay. Golf courses and expensive properties but I hope someday they build sewage infrastructure to stop it being pumped into it which is particularly disgusting in the summer and people still swim in it.

I'm loving this 70-300 for landscapes just as I thought in my long wait, I never changed to the 24-105 all day and the 70mm end is a saviour as is the 70-105mm on the 24-105 f4 above a 24/28--70 lens. The dual crossover of 70-105 is essential for me anyway.

This LR subscription will be missed once it runs out, if I had to sit at a desktop then I probably wouldn't have done these. I know this has been possible for some years but I'm always rather late as I was to mirrorless but there is no going back.

Yeah, I'm a bit of a fan of ultrawides. I bought the Panasonic wide angle converter set for my Lumix 14mm f2.5 way back, giving about 10.5mm field of view. When the PL 8-18mm f2.8-4 was released, I bought that as soon as they were available. Fantastic lens. One of my favorite ever. Then, when I'd given up hope of Panasonic ever releasing an Ultrawide prime, I bought the Laowa 10mm f2 at release. Of course, a couple of weeks after that, Panasonic announced the PL 9mm f1.7 So I bought that too Now I've got the Lumix S 20-60mm, and for that extra field of view, the 14-28mm Lol. Yeah, you could say I have an addiction. Nearly.
Oh, that Loco front end -it's been sitting there as long as I can remember.

This is your best photo yet and in my opinion what UWA is good for. Again IMO UWA is not good for most landscape as it makes everything too small and uninteresting.

I realised this a long time ago pixel peeping UWA photos and seen much more interest within, hence why you'll see me using 300mm for landscape.

I can't think of one Ansel Adams where he thought tiny mountains and filling the frame with a lot of useless guff was a thing. If I remember rightly he distinctly said so in his books and let's face it he was the man

Really? I can't think of anything making you more detached & isolated from your scene, than shooting at 300mm. I love being immersed in it. Being mindful to keep your fingers & toes out of the scene. Being a part of it, but not shown. Ultrawides are brilliant for that. I've not had my S5 & ultrawide long enough to get a reasonable collection of shots, so I'll just post up a few examples from my previous cameras, shot at 16mm equivalent, or thereabouts.

I thought i'll share one with the 50mm 1.8; i quite like it and gladly put up with the bigger size compared to the several old 50mm i have around.
