thanks all. This was actually taken at the side of the main road near between the Glen Etive road and the start of the Glen Coe pass.

I know this is a sweeping question, but without getting too far into the precise aperture /shutter speed/depth of field settings...

Why do all my pictures look so "flat" in comparison? Is it down to equipment (i.e if I bought a Canon 5D or similar they would be better)? is it down to post-production? quality of the lens?

I've tried using a variety of not-expensive cameras (Sony RX100 compact, Sony A290 DSLR, Canon EOS30D) and while my images are in focus and adequately exposed there is no "punch" or drama to them...

Good landscape photography isn't easy. It's little to do with 'settings' (other than long shutter speed if you want to blur moving water), and everything to do with time of day, light and composition. Then probably some processing to wring the pips out of it. If the light is wrong or you don't see composition, it won't be a winner.

It's mostly about the light. Sun preferably low, early morning or evening, the sun NOT behind you etc. etc.

It's not where you are, but when you are.

Can only echo the above. Always shoot RAW if you can too.
