<p>If it were me, I would go back to Yosemite :-) but that's because I love being in the mountains.... Death Valley would be a good spot as well though if you are looking for something new.</p>

<p>While I don't find the images offensive I wouldn't hand them on the wall but that is my personal taste. There appears to be a lot of people who do like the over saturated look and a lot of these people can be customers so I guess there is a market out there for them.<br>

Personally, I like to try and keep them as real as possible only lifting the saturation slightly from what was shot. I like to look at the image and for it to trigger memories, smells feelings and if it is manufactured and heavily altered it is unlikely to do this.</p>

<p>I have a variety of lenses but when I head out walking or climbing in the hills, I will always have my Canon 17-40L, 100-400L and a 50 f/1.8. These two lenses account for the vast majority of my images.<br>

I have a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 but do not often use it as well as a a Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro which is good but only occasional use.<br>

I carry all camera gear packed into their own drysacks, ND grads and other filters, back up battery etc and along with a tripod, they all go into my climbing back pack. I use a cotton carrier chest harness so my camera is always ready and to hand, even when the 100-400 is attached. While the 5d mkii has improved weather proofing I still carry a freezer bag and elastic band to protect it in heavier rain. Even if I am wild camping for several days in Scotland this is what I take. Weight carried, anywhere from as little as 9kg to a max of normally 25kg depending on what we are up to.</p>
