For landscapes you really need to up your aperture. 4 is really meant more for portraits and when you need to have a fast shutter speed for photographing wildlife. I would take it to around 8 or higher. Also the lens you are using isn't wide enough to get a good dramatic landscape (not sure if it really mattered on this one since you seem to have fit everything in the photo). As a rule on landscapes you shouldn't place your horizon (in this case the bridge) right in the middle of the photo. With a shutterspeed as slow as 1/100 you should be using a tripod to get your photos sharp. If I was taking this picture I would have upped to aperture, and upped the ISO so that my shutterspeed would be faster.

Sorry it probably seems I am picking the photo apart. It really is a nice pleasant picture. Just giving you some tips for the future.


No, please pick it apart! lol This is exactly what I wanted! So thank you so much. You are very helpful, and will help me to get better shots in the future. I will try again with your advice and see what I get...Thank you again!!

I feel the same about this one as I do the tree. I different aperture setting would make this one so much sharper. Your pp is good in my opinion. Black and white fits this scene perfectly to me
