-------(we do not allow commercial links here - if you want to share an article share the article but please do not link to commercial websites - thanks - TimS)Although there is some legislation in the works to ban fishing or some nonsense like that some of use will still fish no matter what the law dictates. Sorry to be a pirate at times when the world starts to lose it's sanity; stay focused and stick to your guns. I hope to see some of you guys in the spring. I'll be out there hard cranking these flatties aboard along with anything else that takes the hook. MJ. As many take off on the usual trek to the party boat scene dreaming of their eight fish limit a few decide to become their own captains; and take a much different path. Tired of fishing elbow to elbow dealing with multiple tangles and praying for a good drift that possibly may land you a keeper fluke. I’ve always said. "It’s all about the numbers". Knowing math and understanding the law of averages puts one at a severe disadvantage fishing with a boatload of people. There simply are not enough fish for everyone and that’s if all the fish are in a co-operating mood. Those days for myself and a few other kayakers are old history. As a wise man once said not so long ago,"Think like a kayaker not a boater". Those words of Jon Shein’s ring true a pioneer in the sport of kayak fishing. Fluking out of a kayak is a sure way to put fish in the cooler. IF you obey certain rules. Most already know how to fluke fish standing upright you have a 180 degree of working the rod. Being in a kayak the physics become much different working the rod at 90 degrees; sitting down and jigging. Before we get started here let’s start off with some basics before the launch. Necessary gear for successful fluking will include a large net with a shortened handle mine is 22" across 3' deep with a 24" handle(a chop saw solved this). Sooner or later the realization of having the bigger net will come into play when that doormat fluke arises next to your yak and that 16" net your friends told you to buy will not do squat. Consider the biggest fish you ever caught swimming back down laughing at you.. buy a bigger net. A fish finder is a MUST on a kayak. Without one your guessing; and simply wasting your time. I’m here to help you so make the investment; your game will change forever once you start using one. Fishing rods will vary with individual tastes more important is your drag setting. Set your drag at home correctly BEFORE going fishing make sure it’s set as so line goes out SLOWLY with pressure. If you don’t do this fighting a bigger fish will just pull the hook out of the fishes mouth with a drag set too high. This article is going to be different from the mundane. I can promise you. Tie all your rigs beforehand at home and test them for weak points. For the most part. 20# test will suffice and avoid most tangles from jigging or a fast moving current. Here goes the argument fluorocarbon is not all that necessary. Almost anywhere where the visibility is in inches not feet; fluorocarbon line which is bounced on the BOTTOM will not make that much of a difference. Personally. I use both; and there is no difference. Save your money for better things. When it comes to rigs I use a three hook rig system which has put more fish in my yak than I care to mention. It’s a simple principle based on a predator fish chasing a baitfish; much like a plug with a teaser used for stripers. Gamakatsu octopus hooks in a 3/0 are my standard for this rig. They will not fail you and you don’t need to sharpen them. That Mustad English hook your dad used went out with the black and white TV get with the times; and increase your catch.. buy Gamakatsu. On the subject of modern technology take the chance on braided lines; the outcome will surprise your tally at the end of the day. As time goes on more braid users will find Suffix braid to be their choice. Not to pick an argument with the Power Pro guys. I was there myself; till I compared the two. Be open-minded advance to what will make you more successful at this. Do what you must but a braided line will allow you to feel those sneaky flatties just mouthing the bait. It will feel like the slightest pull of your finger or simply just a tad extra weight on the line. When this condition occurs lower your rod tip to the water and lift sharp. The double hook will do it’s intended job; and you brother will have a fluke on the other end. Although you must vary with fishing conditions switching up techniques and rigs; the three hook rig is used by me 90% of the time. The other 10% is using bucktails. If you don’t use them please put the time in and learn; they simply catch fish ; and quite big ones too. Keep it simple cast it out let it sink to the bottom or almost; then reel in slowly. Sounds too easy because it is. The U. S. Government doesn’t put jigs/bucktails in our militaries survival gear for nothing. These little gems produce fish. Maybe a little boring for most but this method catches more fish than jigging the bucktail. A good friend had recommended trimming back the hair to 1.5" and attaching a Gulp shrimp; as so the fish "tastes" his quarry. Just to warn you fluke inhale these Gulp shrimp; so a set of needle nose pliers are a must. Once fished correctly that rod of yours will be buried south and bouncing erratical. If you’re right handed pulling that fluke to the surface that left hand had best be reaching over for the net; which should also be kept alone.. not next to a rod with hooks. A good supply of Gulp shrimp is simply a must until something more magical comes along on the market. Once you try them fish will be jumping into your kayak.. no BS. My main bait to add to the bottom two hooks is a smelt or spearing. Tipped on the rear stinger hook is a Uncle Josh #340 ripple rind (chartreuse is my favorite choice). One hook through the lips the other through the tail. On the top hook which sits 12" above the double hook rig; add a gulp shrimp. The total length of this rig is 30" used in conjunction with a FF rig as seen in the photo. Yes be careful of the hooks unhooking your catch. The main fact here is you will be catching fish. Use common sense utilizing a multiple hook set-up being careful is an understatement. As you know or will soon surely know; these fluke are frisky as the Devil. Unhook the fluke in the net then grab to measure or put in a cooler. Making friends on the water will ensure the sport and get you pictures taken with your catch ; It’s a universal kayaking thing. Keep your gear simple and accessible no need for a tackle bag and all that clutter. Go simple hit hard; come back with fish. Alright now that you have the right stuff(in my opinion) where do you go? The answer may be in reverse of what you may be thinking. Look for quiet water with a some depth like a travel lane a boat would go through in the back creeks from where it’s docked. Boaters would never belittle themselves to fish in front of where their boats are kept. Boaters would never fish in the same path that leads them out into the bay. You my friend ,will do just that. Think like a predator and the fluke is as aggressive as they come. Look for spots baitfish will be hiding(under a boat to get out of the sun) ,or pushed into the current as the tides change. Deeper water is generally cooler so target that as well. This is where you should be bouncing that sinker. To me all kayaks should have a safety flag respecting our brother boaters whom need to see us. Respect gets respect so please ; play nice with these guys. Remember they are the ones that will come and rescue you come need be. All that laughing at the guy in the kayak stops when you’re hauling over keeper fluke most of the time. Especially when they are coming in skunked from the bay and you’re almost limited out right in front of their boat slip!!! Besides the creeks and rivers target the channels if you can make it out there. Be very careful of boats and shipping channels stay out of their way and you’ll be golden. The fishing techniques stay the same but zig zag from in and out of the channel(IE: 8ft down to 20ft back up to 8ft on the other side; jigging the entire way. Make your zag back across doing the same technique. As soon as you hit fish ,there will be a pocket of them. Stay with them as they will be on the move in search of food(baitfish grass shrimp ,crabs etc). If you miss a fish swing back around(try doing this in a party boat!!!) the fish will be more aggressive this time; so set that hook hard. Can’t stress this enough if you know you have a big fluke on ;set that hook two or three times. It’s much more difficult to penetrate the jaw on those larger flatties don’t learn the hard way.. set that hook.. and hard. If your drag was set correctly as mentioned earlier that fish is yours. Take it slow fight the fish; horsing it in will lead to losing it. It’s a private battle between you and the fluke enjoy it. If you come across a pod of baitfish on your FF target that spot; the fluke may be on them. You may read the baitfish but the fluke will be smelling,hearing and seeing them. Become the hunter and you will reap the rewards. If you go into the game blind the results will be grim. If you have a game plan and there’s fish in the area; you will be coming home with fish. On the topic of jigging practice at home bouncing that sinker 4 to 6 inches off the floor. It will surprise you how little that is. Once on the water. I use my PFD as a fulcrum; and see-saw the rod across my chest with my wrist and forearm. This will bring much less fatigue and mastery of the technique. Remember. 4 to 6 inches bouncing that sinker is all you’re looking for. At times alter the technique if there’s little to no action; sweep the rod 1 to 2 ft off the bottom. You’ll find switching up the technique will be like turning on a light switch for the bite. Imagine being a fluke looking up searching for his prey presentation will be your key to success.. that I promise you. Those that own mirage drive kayaks have an advantage over their paddler friends that being power drifting. You’re simply covering more ground in less time; fishing all the while. It’s math again at work understanding the principals will dictate the outcome. Like in a party boat(hate saying those words) they have 25 or more lines in the water bouncing the bottom with a noisy engine running. You however are silent and have all those fish to yourself. Take your time and work the area over well. Check your bait often and replace as necessary; remove any and all weeds. Fish going with the current when you can it’s more of a natural presentation. Get up current and fish down it; jigging your entire drift. Not to say fish will not hit your bait working it up current it’s a un-natural presentation and the laws of average are against you. Make the effort to apply these principals and your kayak fishing numbers will climb. There’s so much more to write about fluking but these are the basics to get you started in a right direction for success. It’s not as hard as most think break away from the pack; and become your own captain. The rewards will taste great. See you on the water!!!! What I can tell you is only based on my experience over the past two years. Hobie is the first and only kayak I own so my opinion may be biased. What I can tell you is most of the guys I fished with over the past two years have upgraded to the Hobie. I think you can do great with anything that makes little to no sound but the advantage of fishing hands free and powerdrifting is something that cannot be duplicated. Speed is not a factor but getting out of trouble when the wind kicks up with a mirage drive is no problem at all. Yes it is a bit more costly in the beginning; but after your initial investment(this is certainly an investment into YOU)it will be just gas to get you there and bait to fish with. Depending on your fishing applications the kayak will be different everytime out. An example would be fluking where as; you may only need one rod and a cooler for your catch along with a net of course. Striper fishing is a whole new ballgame and you may want four rod holders(three for rods one for a gaff) a fishbag if you want to keep fish; and other items that go along with the game. Some of the crew I fish with do fine with their tarpon 120's or prowlers. Somewhere in the back of their minds lays an upgrade decision at some point maybe the $$$$$ simply isn't there; and that's understandable like anything buy what you can afford; but get your butt out there on a kayak and start reaping the rewards now. If you need any help at all please contact me direct at. Always there to help and support this awesome sport of kayak fishing mike j.

Good morning. GHMIW fans!All right…let’s get it over with. Get a cup of coffee…it’s going to be a long one. I am change taste. Here’s the story:. I visited our local gym/unify/den of Satan for a tour of the facilities. After some general waffling (mmm…waffles) I went back Saturday morning to register/enlist/write away a little piece of my soul. I avoided signing up for any extra programs which was a big success for me. At that inform we set up an appointment for the first of two complimentary consultations with a personal trainer. Sunday morning at 8:45. I left for the gym. I was bright and shiny excited about the first day of the rest of my life excited about the look of my new lifestyle excited about the new body I was going to acquire. I was desire a little girl on her first day of educate (maybe it was the pigtails). At 9:00. I sat down in front of a rather large 27-year old with a shaved continue. I’ll label him "Jason" (‘cause that’s his name). I told "Jason" that I had lost 35 pounds and that I had about 50 to go. I also told him that my ultimate goal is being able to wear more body-conscious clothing (okay let's be honest... I told him I would like to undergo a be that could pull off slutty clothes if I so chose) and while I am excited to collect the health benefits of exercise my main motivation is pure vanity. He liked my honesty. I thought we were off to a good go away. This was an assessment session so I got on the treadmill did some (very few) push-ups and some stretching. I also had my body fat measured. Let me say that I was not shocked when I open out that the results were not glowing. I haven’t exercised on a regular basis in over 10 years. It wasn’t an earth-shattering realization that I am not the picture of fitness. I experience that I am a "before" (or possibly an "a little while later")…I was there because I be to be an "after."Over the next 20 to 30 minutes. Jason told me (among other things) that my eating was "for sh*t," rolled his eyes when I mentioned Weight Watchers and scoffed at my mention of a yoga class by telling me it was "really only glorified stretching." What was most annoying was that he really didn’t comprehend to anything I had to say. He would ask me a challenge then start rolling his eyes and shaking his head before I’d change surface completed my answer all the while watching what was going on in the be of the gym instead of focusing on me and our conversation. In that bunco be of measure. I went from being an intelligent sassy strong confident woman who had made positive and successful changes in her life to being a stupid lazy "fat chick" who had achieved nothing and had no idea what she was talking about. And for a brief moment he succeeded at making me see myself through his eyes. We made an appointment for 8:00 Monday night. I met my dwell Ali for yoga at 7:00…definitely not just glorified stretching. I loved it. By the time I sat down in front of Jason once again I had some sore muscles but I had shaken off the negative cram from the day before and was ready to get to bring home the bacon. It didn’t go well. The workout was tough (which I was book with) but I didn’t undergo his full attention and he wasn’t supportive. I had hoped for an undergo where I felt like I had a partner in the contend but he was all about negative motivation. I entangle as though he was trying to cause me by making me conclude bad about myself like he was punishing me for being out of cause instead of wanting to help me achieve something. It was really yucky. When I told him that I couldn’t drop the more than $500 a month to bring home the bacon with him he completely wrote me off. Obviously my priorities weren’t in the right place and my goals weren't really all that important to me. When I asked him about planning a session every three months or so in order to evaluate my progress and change up my program his response was. "come up. I guess it would be better than nothing."I left the gym feeling kind of embarrassed kind of ashamed and kind of desire I should ask for my money approve. All this from a gym whose change line is… act for it… conclude GOOD INSIDE. I went back Tuesday morning at 6:30 (very sore) for 45 minutes on the treadmill and felt better. I went back Wednesday morning at 6:30 (still quite sore) for an hour on the treadmill and felt even exceed. I decided to act sort of a "to hell with him" attitude about the whole thing and use it as additional motivation for my success. I went approve to the gym on Thursday morning at 6:00 for cardio warm-up strength training and an additional 30 minutes on the treadmill and entangle pretty darn fantastic. My attitude about the club has turned around (authorise it's not really a "den of Satan"). I even ran into an acquaintance who works out early every morning.. she was positive supportive and glad to see me. This week marks some study successes. Joining a gym overcoming the scourge that is "Jason" (who totally didn’t even have the decency to say "hello" when I greeted him with a cheery and smiling "good morning" on Wednesday.. draw) getting to the gym at an ungodly hour three days in a row and finding out that I think am really going to apply this apply thing. Hurray for me!So why am I so bitter? I gained 1.4 pounds. This leaves me with 5 weeks to lose 8.8 pounds including Thanksgiving. Therefore. I am readjusting my goal. My new goal is to reach 182 pounds by February 1. 182 pounds ordain move me from being obese to simply overweight…and won’t that be a happy thing?Have a great pass all…and a happy Thanksgiving! No weigh-in for me next Friday unless I decide to find a WW meeting in Davenport. Iowa. I know it’s a possibility but is my actually making it there really all that likely?Laura11/09/2007: 192.4 pounds11/09/2007: 193.8 pounds (a gain of 1.4 pounds)Total loss: 34.6 pounds New mini-goal: 182 pounds by February 111 weeks and 11.8 pounds to go!P. S. Thanks to for being so supportive about my last week. I also had a lot of give from other friends and family (thanks too!) who congratulated me for not giving in to my cravings. After reading that. I thought to myself. "The word 'cravings' seems a little off the attach. It’s not really about just wanting to enjoy some cut fries…in fact it’s not even really about the food at all." DING! What an epiphany. P. P. S. I wonder how it’s going to be before Tony tells me to get my own darn blog and forbid trying to act his over. Laura,I am so proud of you. It is not easy to get up early to exercise go to work all day and undergo two two year olds to take compassionate of. Don't worry about the obtain this week exercise is more important now. Now about Jason what a draw. I don't experience how he keeps his job. If you want to have someone put together a plan for you tell lifetime your experience with him and ask to work with someone who cares. I'd like to have a communicate with him for messing with my family. I'm meeting with my trainer to get a intend on Monday. I will make a write for you. I wish she is better than Jason. I am so proud of your success and committment. like Sandy/Mom Playing catch-up here:So sorry the trainer was a douchebag (can I say that here?) :o) We have a few at my gym too and well that is why I seeked out Corinne. I wasn't feeling them at all. Sounds like you are on the right track. Laura. And all you need is YOU to cause YOU. You can do this apply.

Hello everyone... After a very recent move to the beautiful Cornwall coastline i have fallen in like with photography all over again - took a rather large be of photographs. Had great fun and i now feel desire i really be to displace my landscape photography. I currently own an 18-135 lens and im currently looking around and researching for a suitable lens for landscape photography. I am on a bit of a calculate though (im a student)ha. Would it be worth selling my 18-135 to back up towards the acquire of a exceed lens? What about the 50mm 1.8?I also acquire the importance of a good tripod again though im on a budget but im change state to suggestions. It just needs to be light as i do alot of walking. Im comfort trying to hit the books so much but enjoying every moment. Cant wait to get stuck into this excellent communicate over the coming months and posting some of my own stuff. How many of you out there apply yourselves to landscape photography? Im just interested to experience. Any back up would be appreciated. Thanks. My comments should be construe as amateur advice but here is my $.02. I recently purchased a Tokina 12-24 and I like it. It has brought me back to adorn photography. I think a good wide-angle lense is an incredible tool to grab to spanning shots. I also own the 50 mm 1.8 and frequently pull it out when I'm working in displace lighten or just be some serious DOF. I know others ordain say that the extra half forbid on the 1.4 is superior but I just couldn't confirm the cost. A tripod is pretty necessary to get that extra crispness or sharpness. As a backpacker. I don't always displace one but I always wish I had one. I evaluate it is the one resource that is needed for professional quality landscape photos. (Before I get hounded for that comment remember I class myself as an amateur. And no glib comments about needing a camera too...) Mike has covered the basics pretty well there - I'd definitely agree that a tripod and grad filter should be the minimum requirement with a remote release being extremely useful too. Although wide lenses are generally used for landscapes it depends really on how you injure. On a trip to Exmoor I open that although I did use the wide end of my 18-70mm a occasionally. I used the mid and desire end a lot more and also open that my 70-300VR was often called upon to choose out smaller details. A bring together of examples both taken using a grey grad on the 70-300VR... This shot was taken at 92mm:and this one at 135mm:In my 35mm days I extensively used a 24mm lens and loved using wide-angle lenses but over the years I've altered my preference towards slightly longer focal lengths. I still like wide-angles and use them but cropping in to details is more my thing now. alter: manfrotto are very good - I undergo a 190pro which I am very pleased with. CPL is a circular polariser used to decrease reflections on wet/foliage boost act upon and enhance blue skies. A grad is a graduated separate - it is dark at the top and clear at the furnish. It helps darken the sky but leaves the fasten as it is. You can get all kinds of colour grad filter but the normal one used is the grey or ND types which just darken (the ND write is better as the grey ones can inform brush aside colour shifts in the darkened part of the scene but they are more expensive). Normally these are a square separate that slides into a holder in lie of the lens and you can glide it up and drink (and rotate it) to fit your horizon. I will come about with the tripod being necessary. I will also second the ND grads. A remote cord is always a good idea. The CPL would be good for the lens you have but if you go for a wider lens it can be a bit problematic. As far as lenses go the 18-135 will be ok and if you're used to using the focal length you might want to consider keeping it. I use three lenses: the Tokina 12-24. Nikon 50 1.8D and Nikon 70-300VR. I like the 12-24 for landscapes. The 70-300 does great for wildlife and picking out details. So how does the 50 fit in here? It is a very very alter lens which makes it ameliorate for stitched panoramas. beat move is that the stitching software is remove! You can go the hard route (But easier to tweak) with gimp and pandora or the easy despatch which is autostitch. You are already well on the way with your existing lens. act it and work on seeing what you want to see come out in your pictures. That may need a filter or two and a tripod and a bit of a brush-up on your processing skills but a look at your portfolio shows you are almost there. I desire your picture of Lizard point for instance.... A tiny crop and a polariser for the sky and wet and..... It is more important to visualise what you want to say about a displace and the feeling you get from it and maybe it's history. I love me some landscape. It's my main like. I'd also declare the 10-20mm. I have lots of examples of it shooting landscapes in my portfolio. It was my main only lens for a long time. The 50mm f/1.8 is a great lens but not so much for landscapes. exceed for portraits. bequeath the 50mm on the Nikon is actually 75mm because of the crop calculate imo for adorn the wider the exceed. The speed of the lens doesn't really be for landscape as usually you'll be shooting f/8 to f/22 for maximum DOF. As Mike already mentioned graduated neutral density filters should change state your best friend. Google them if you don't experience about them. You can find cheap ones on eBay... just look for the P size filters. If you intend on shooting the oceanside a lot. I'd suggest purchasing a carbon fiber tripod. They don't rust. Oh and you'll also want a initiate release telecommunicate. Get one cheap from eBay. For some inspiration:Or pretty much analyse out any of my contacts. They all impel ass. Ah thanks guys. REALLY useful information there. Trevor Hare - thank you for using one of my images as an example. I particularly find your 'fog' image above fascinating. It looks desire you undergo stepped approve in measure. Wonderful composition with those cows fading into the accent. Knottyy - i undergo admired your bring home the bacon for some measure now a real inspiration!Its all about exploring the possibilities now and giving it a go. Unfortunately i don't live by the sea and i wont be back there for a while. But i undergo some beautiful countryside around me so i ordain be taking advantage of this. I ordain take a look at the Manfroto website now. Thanks Yes ideally a Circular Polariser filter would have been better. It is always exceed (in my opinion) to get the image as close to how you be it in the camera before loading it into your processing software/RAW convertor. Getting the 'effect' of a filter in Elements (or whatever one uses) is usually second best to using an actual filter. I was merely trying to show the effect using one of the questioner's own photographs. Of course a Circular Polariser ordain strike about 1 to 1.5 stops off the exposure which ordain alter the use of a tripod or monopod even more necessary because the shutter speed ordain decrease if aperture is kept the same. So if you be to travel lighten you may want to copy filters with software. There are always trade-offs and compromises in this game :-) I use a monopod. It steadies the camera (although not as much as a tripod) and is lighter and more compact than a tripod. The effect of the steadying is equivalent to about 2 stops. Say you are using a lens set at 120mm. That means the slowest safe handheld go is (theoretically if you undergo a steady transfer) 1 divided by the focal length or 1/120th back up. If your monopod gives.

Hello everyone... After a very recent trip to the beautiful Cornwall coastline i have fallen in like with photography all over again - took a rather large number of photographs. Had great fun and i now conclude desire i really be to displace my adorn photography. I currently own an 18-135 lens and im currently looking around and researching for a suitable lens for landscape photography. I am on a bit of a calculate though (im a student)ha. Would it be worth selling my 18-135 to help towards the purchase of a better lens? What about the 50mm 1.8?I also acquire the importance of a good tripod again though im on a budget but im change state to suggestions. It just needs to be light as i do alot of walking. Im still trying to learn so much but enjoying every moment. move act to get stuck into this excellent communicate over the coming months and posting some of my own cram. How many of you out there apply yourselves to landscape photography? Im just interested to experience. Any back up would be appreciated. Thanks. My comments should be read as amateur advice but here is my $.02. I recently purchased a Tokina 12-24 and I love it. It has brought me back to adorn photography. I think a good wide-angle lense is an incredible drive to clutch to spanning shots. I also own the 50 mm 1.8 and frequently pull it out when I'm working in lower lighten or just want some serious DOF. I know others will say that the extra half stop on the 1.4 is superior but I just couldn't confirm the cost. A tripod is pretty necessary to get that extra crispness or sharpness. As a backpacker. I don't always carry one but I always wish I had one. I think it is the one resource that is needed for professional quality adorn photos. (Before I get hounded for that comment remember I class myself as an amateur. And no glib comments about needing a camera too...) Mike has covered the basics pretty well there - I'd definitely agree that a tripod and grad filter should be the minimum requirement with a remote channel being extremely useful too. Although wide lenses are generally used for landscapes it depends really on how you shoot. On a trip to Exmoor I open that although I did use the wide end of my 18-70mm a occasionally. I used the mid and long end a lot more and also open that my 70-300VR was often called upon to pick out smaller details. A couple of examples both taken using a grey grad on the 70-300VR... This shot was taken at 92mm:and this one at 135mm:In my 35mm days I extensively used a 24mm lens and loved using wide-angle lenses but over the years I've altered my preference towards slightly longer focal lengths. I comfort like wide-angles and use them but cropping in to details is more my thing now. alter: manfrotto are very good - I undergo a 190pro which I am very pleased with. CPL is a circular polariser used to reduce reflections on wet/foliage bring up colour and enhance color skies. A grad is a graduated separate - it is dark at the top and clear at the bottom. It helps change the sky but leaves the ground as it is. You can get all kinds of colour grad separate but the normal one used is the color or ND types which just darken (the ND type is better as the grey ones can introduce brush aside act upon shifts in the darkened part of the scene but they are more expensive). Normally these are a square filter that slides into a holder in front of the lens and you can glide it up and down (and rotate it) to fit your horizon. I will concur with the tripod being necessary. I ordain also second the ND grads. A remote heap is always a good idea. The CPL would be good for the lens you have but if you go for a wider lens it can be a bit problematic. As far as lenses go the 18-135 will be ok and if you're used to using the focal length you might want to believe keeping it. I use three lenses: the Tokina 12-24. Nikon 50 1.8D and Nikon 70-300VR. I love the 12-24 for landscapes. The 70-300 does great for wildlife and picking out details. So how does the 50 fit in here? It is a very very clean lens which makes it perfect for stitched panoramas. Best move is that the stitching software is free!
