This shot was taken handheld, thanks to the IS feature of the 17-85 EF-S lens.

When we went to Kodaikanal for a holiday, couple of weeks back, it was

pretty rainy and was hardly conducive for landscape shots. When we

were going to a temple, on our way, we happen to see this amazing view

of the Palani hills from Kodaikanal. I am not much of a landscape

person, and I was pretty pleased with this effort. This shot was taken

handheld at f22, thanks to the IS feature of the 17-85 IS lens.

Welcome your constructive criticism. Thanks.

Very good composition,light,DOF and color contrast,Pradeep. Would like to see the kurinji flower image,if you have taken.

Breathtaking scenery, superb contrast and colors, almost like a painting. Curious to know why f22 - I would never have the heart to do that with a digital, theoretically you should have trouble from diffraction, less acutance. However, the detail even in the large version is impeccable. Theory and practice...

Very kind words there. Well, I would have shot it at f11, but when i saw how the scene was never ending, i wanted to get as much DOF as possible. I am not good with landscapes, but this particular shot is by far my best :).

Agree that this is excellent. If you throw in your data into a DOF calculator you see a DOF from 0.8 m to infinity for f:11 and 2 meters @17 mm focal length for the 20D, the APS-sized sensor allows for more DOF than a fullsize like 5D (a real advntage of the 20D over the fullsizers here)
