I counted twelve but eight of those turned out to be on my monitor...

I love the colors in the first one and those are some beautiful landscapes too. @ Rich- too often I try cloning out some of those specks only to realize I'm having the same problem as you. Speaking of which, I oughta clean it again.

I still have a lot to learn and appreciate all the feedback I can get. Can you give me any ideas on how to take sharper photos. Other than a expensive lens.

I guess I need to figure out how to clean my sensor. I want a good wide angle lens and more money for photo trips.
I know how aperture works and from what I've learned this lens is the sharpest at f/8-f/16. I use manual 90% f the time and I generally use evaluative metering to take a reading for my shots. Then make adjustments till my reading is in the middle or 1/3 stop down. I also use a tripod most of the time. Sometimes I forget to turn off the IS though and I know that causes crappy shots. I'm having a hard time figuring out hyper focal distance though. I'm not worth a darn at figuring out distances. Can you give me an example of where I should have focused in one of the 2 landscape shots from this post please.

Nice shots though... and I agree, the land is crooked in number 2...
