There’s absolutely no dearth of beautiful landscapes even within our own country, notwithstanding the obvious ills of over urbanization and commercialization. An avid traveler or travel photographer will sniff out, like a hound, a place tucked away in some corner of the country, which is untouched by the evils of urbanization. Serious shutterbugs know that landscape photography needs two very important things – a restless mind and a wide angle lens which will help capture the scenic beauty of the place adequately. Thus, the Canon EOS 50D which comes with a EF 17-85 lens, a resolution of 15.1 mp and a focal range of 27mm and 136mm.
