Lovely shots, Gordon. PDF is a great format for this, I've been thinking of doing something similar with my print portfolio. It looks like some were taken with a fisheye, no? The 17-40 isn't really wide enough for me to get what I want sometimes. Thoughts on your lens choices/needs while you were there?
Gordan - WOW - Within 20 minutes and 43 pages I believe I have NOW been there. A vacation I don't think I would of ever been able to take you have just taken me there. That's Photography! GREAT JOB

It was almost all 17-40 on the D60, with some 70-200, 100mm macro and 200+1.4x tele for the really long range shots.
Great shots G. I like how your incorporated both strong foregrand and background elements in most of your photos. I especially like thte color photographs. Sounds like you had a great workshop.

The back/forth rhythm was a big aspect of the wide angle compositions that I was really trying to learn - good to hear it is paying off! I think in a lot of cases it is a bit too obvious and not really subtle enough but I'm only just learning. This was my first attempt at anything approaching real landscape photography, so there was a huge amount to learn in a really short, intensive space of time.
Thank you everyone for your comments. I really appreciate them and am glad I could share these pictures with you. It might not look it, but putting together this simple pdf turned in to quite the labour of love, taking close to 2 months to get finished.

Did want to add to this, I really don't find the 17-40 wide enough on a D60 either. The quality is great but just not enough sweep for really grand scale landscapes. I played around with a 14mm sigma when I was out there as well, but the 1.6 crop just kills it every time. I'm looking to get a camera with a lower crop factor to fix this soon.
