Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA. Loved this composition because of the pink flower laden foreground hills, followed by four distinct interrupts by the clouds on the ridges. The first such interrupt is in the top left corner of the image. The same pattern repeats as you go to the right for a total of four times. I saw this happen and to isolate it, not only did I have to add my 1.4x teleconverter to the 200-500mm f5.6 lens setup at 500mm, but I also added a 1.5x crop in-camera. Effectively, this is another 1050mm shot.

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA. This is another 700mm landscape. Loved this composition because of the three distinct layers of hills shown here, accentuated by the way the clouds interrupt the ridges.

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA. Continuing on with highly unusual landscape here. I shot this with the same 700mm lens setup. Loved this scene because of the rolling wavy lines on the main subject hill, arrested by the strong sharp diagonal right to left ridge. Additionally the cloud cover is layered, covered a little bit of the main subject hill, but covering a lot more of the background hills. This scene is so isolated that to reach it with my lens, I had to apply a further 1.5x crop in-camera, to finally nail this framing. Effectively, this is a 1050mm shot.
