So I decided to do a little something different yesterday and take more landscape than macros.
I don't know if the Landscapes look any good, but I was trying many different exposures and aperture settings.
Let me know if you have any tips for the Landscapes.

Oh yeah,
This is Applegate Lake. It's in Oregon, and it's one of the most beautiful lakes here.
The water is so clear and smooth.
It was alotta fun, aside from cutting the bottom of my foot.
Looking forward to feedback.
Take Care,

3 and 5 look pro. Well done. I prefer taking landscapes at sundown. Seems to always give the appropriate amount of light. Everything seems, bright? I just started photography last year, so I'm no expert. This would be awesome if taken after or during a rain, with a slight fog. Eiter way, excellent photos. I love your work lately

edit: It really is a beautiful lake. Too bad the environment couldn't have been a little more "photo" friendly.

Yeah,
I have trouble staying at lakes till sunset, as I'm not the one driving.
Normally the driver( my friend Leah) is wanting to get home before dark.
The lakes are so far out from where I live that it's usually an hour or two drive, so staying late is almost impossible.
I'm planning a camping trip though for my birthday, pretty sure I'm gonna go back up to Applegate,
that way I can get the sunset/sunrise.
Thanks for the feedback.

Wow I love the composition and light in #5!!
Also, although it's kinda gross, I think #8 is very well done!!!
