I would agree with you.
The ephotozine site has a Critic Gallery, I think this is what you are after :
http://www.ephotozine.com/critique-gallery
There comments like 'nice pic' and 'good shot' are banned, and actual critique of a photo is required.
The Gallery here is simply for sharing, though a lot of us use it as a testing ground.

Nice of him to share all these top 'Secrets' of the biz.
I was wondering where it was leading to, eventually it leads to the bottom of his website and a 'More Secrects Book! for only 99 bucks! - LOL
I think this might be the 'real great living' he's making from photography.

Your kit seems to have good coverage, but your missing a big Pentax plus - going on to ebay and picking up something like a cheap A50 1.7.... you've got to, you've just got to

Whilst I don't own either lens I can give you my opinion of how I find the focal lengths. I think it depends how much of the landscape you want to capture. At 15mm you can end up losing your 'view' as it tends to minimise everything. With my Sigma 10-20 I started using it at the long end quite a lot, hence a swap to the 12-24.
Indeed 15mm sounds good for landscape, but may in fact be too wide for most 'scapes. If you can get only one I'd go for the 21mm. I'd like to get it one day too as the focal length seems like the perfect walk around lens for APS-C.Whilst I don't own either lens I can give you my opinion of how I find the focal lengths.

Where telephoto fans gain with a cropped sensor, landscape enthusiasts are short changed, but, as I say, it's not a big deal for me, really, which is just as well, as I'll never be able to afford a FF body.
Funny I was discussing this with my landscape enthusiast pal at work this afternoon, I was up in the highlands a few weeks back, and actually found myself using the 18-55 kit(!) & 55-300 far more than the Sigma UWA, it was just too wide for most shots, that surprised me... so again FF for me?

I find it strange that Paps in particular carry all that heavy D3/1D stuff around - the photos they take are than reproduced on low quality paper or are web sized for 99% of the time. They would also benefit from the crop factor for the longer zooms as well as the lower weight.
I guess it's mainly for the long long long glass, (you'll never see any pentax on the sidelines at a Premiership game), and they'll have a bit more leeway with the crop selection, say for when Britney Spears steps out of a limo I find it strange that Paps in particular carry all that heavy D3/1D stuff around - the photos they take are than reproduced on low quality paper or are web sized for 99% of the time. They would also benefit from the crop factor for the longer zooms as well as the lower weight.
You're right though I often wonder about that, particularly when you pick up a paper and the colour print is all out of line - I'd be a bit miffed, still I'd have been paid.

Not at all Shaun, and thank you for the compliment I hold in great regard coming from yourself. That last line was a kinda play on words with being insecure about wanting to know what people think, kit wise I am pretty secure (until the Sony A99/A1000 of course ) and there is no way I think I could or would splash that kinda money Quote:
Be interested to hear what people think, guess I am feeling insecure myself..
I love shooting landscape, I feel that I have every thing I need with the gear I have! I really don’t know why you feel like this as bigger is not always the best? I have had a look at your wide landscapes and there great so don’t worry about the size just get the shot and use the right lens for the job, get the right setting and away you go Be interested to hear what people think, guess I am feeling insecure myself..

As Pentaxophile correctly picked up my tone was originally kinda patronising, as you say a fool is soon parted from his money.
We can change the word 'insecure' to ; 'unnecessarily' or 'peer pressure' - if that is more neutral and helps expand the topic.

Certainly agree theres a lot of DSLR's out there now but what would make the difference betwen a 'pro' and 'joe' is the after PP'ingWith digital, there's a lot of after-capture skill needed to get the absolutely best results, so investment in that area - computers, printers, scanners, Photoshop.....- is probably more helpful than changing format.

(that's someting that annoys me, the constant whining for a FF Pentax camera, if you want/need you would change system - if you havn't guess you don't need it that bad or can't afford it so you wouldn't be able to afford a FF Pentax either )For Pentax users who don't, don't give it a thought as it would all be hypothetical.

There is a lack of feedback, good or bad. Often we look at photos and then move on. You just need to look at the number of views v the number of replies to see this. I'm as guilty of this as anyone and must do better moving forward
Again, ask for CC when you post or posting images to the forum and asking for critique is another way to go
I would give you CC Axel, but you never post anything s**t - LOL
