One more from my day wandering up and down the Pocklington Canal in Yorkshire, England on April 23rd, on a 40ft narrowboat. An earlier series was here.
40D, 70-200 f4 L IS @ 70mm. ISO 100. 1/180@f11.
The others in the earlier thread were also all taken with the 70-200. That knowledge hopefully helps some people who may be just starting out, to see that landscapes are not just all about a wide-angle lens. You'll find lots of opinion that says you need a wide angle lens to do landscape. No you don't. It offers additional options, but you can survive without one.

Re: Pottering on the Pocklington Canal 2
Nice shot...I am assuming if it is a narrowboat, it is also a narrowcanal???

It must've been a peaceful, quiet day? The water is so still, and it looks as if there is either mist or haze from the sun? Beautiful.

Very. And gets narrower as the summer progresses with the encroachment of grass and weeds.
