sidelighting

they say that if you want something to become interesting don't light all of it but just part of it. Sidelighting is also incuded in the above statement.
The following photo was taken just after sunrise with my D80. The lens that was used was a Sigma 10-20mm which I think is very good for landscape work. It's sharp and wide enough to make the photos even more interesting
