Zoomed vs Wide Landscapes

Hey All,

I travel for work, so I get stuck in odd places for a couple months at a time. Most recently, I'm in Kansas and exploring this interesting state. The longer I shoot, the more I find myself zooming in on different aspects of a particular landscape while photographing.

Those of you who shoot landscapes, do you enjoy a zoomed in shot or are you more the wider the better kind? Here is the same landscape shot in different ways. Which do you like better?

Also, if anyone lives/has spent time in Kansas and has some spots I must hit, please let me know.

Thanks,
Derek

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Mixing Film and Night - New for Me

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.
