thanks for the kind words, its my old kit lens that i still have around from my old d70s, and tripod. with a grad filter to balance out the background and foreground, nothing too fancyful as landscapes are not my main subjects.

Thanks again...

butts - birds - cosplay now to landscapes?
u may want to do some research on filters, the best would be to have the grey ones as it doesnt "add" any colours to the image. i have a bunch of graduating ones cant remember which are the +4 and +8 as i like to have the sea silky but increasing the exposure time. i also have a bunch of grey filters to increase the exposure over all.
personally think the graduating ones are the best as it helps me balance the background and foreground, so i wont have an over exposed sky or an underexposed land, sometimes u can do HDR but its rather fake. i know of some that use polarisers but i've never used them before.
besides the technical details, its the composition and the kinda conditions of the day that matters the most.

Bro, thanks so much for the tips appreciate it!! Currently searching for full frame body to couple with my 17-40L for landscapes/WA (either 5D or 5DII but prolly the former as I'm on tight budget). Which brand filters are you using now? There's brands like Cokin, Tiffen, and Lee (which is good but quite ex and local shops dun sell them..rite?) Agree that the grad ones are best...usually I end up with o'exposed sky and/or underexposed foreground and its quite frustrating. 
Fully agree with your last statement....composition is really key in creating great landscape shots. Luck counts too!
Just wanna try my hand at something different mar...nature/birds photography is still my mainstay.

no problem mate, get the 5dmkII. sure no regrets. i am using cokin, but want to try lee but i dont have enough $$. i just bought a few here and there last time when i started out just for fun. i think if u buy them online it would be easier. i its hard to find the grey graduating filters here in singapore, so u may just wanna try to import a set of +4 and +8, to experiment first, but of cuz u can get the holder here, which should be a lot cheaper.
