[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 148602, member: 1746"] Someone correct me if I'm wrong f/4.8 is going to give you a shorter depth of field. I thought the rule of thumb was with landscapes you wan tot use a higher aperture. This is why it looks soft. If I was shooting this shot I would have approached it this way. Camera on a Tripod (Your going to have to hold the camera still with these settings) ISO 100 / 200 Aperture Priority at f/16 (Camera sets the shutter speed) it's going to be a long exposure that why you need the tripod. Yes at f/4.8 your going to let more light into the camera but you shorten up your DOF by doing it. You could raise your ISO making your camera more sensitive to light, but by doing so you start to run the risk of introducing noise into the shot which can also soften up a landscape shot. Come on Rick M. your the landscaper around here. Am I correct on my thinking? [/QUOTE]
