The landscape mode on your digital camera is another one of my prefered scene modes. It's a great mode for general purpose photography because the camera gives you a narrower lens opening, trying to give you foregrounds to backrounds focus. Good for general scenic travel photography, also for taking a large group of people. The landscape mode is generally denoted by a mountain, a mountain with tree or person in the foreground. Great for travel and general purpose picture taking.
