Nice. Did you use a remote switch?
A tripod is one of your best investments. A good one also. When shooting landscape or still images. It is always best to take your shot with a slower shutter. Color saturation will be better and you end up with a shaper image.
Careful with the long shutter on a landscape if its breezy, trees will get soft.
Maybe thats just my view because I love shooting my 80-200 wide open @ f/2.8
Very true on the tree's if windy.
How is your depth of field when shooting with an apeture at 2.8?
