Photo of the Day: A Lake in Germany

If you ever get a chance to visit Germany you must head to the southern part of the country. The little town of Füssen sits at the base of mountains on the border next to Austria. I ran down the hill to get to this amazing lake just as the sun was setting. 

I took three exposures and I really should have lowered the ISO and kept the shutter open for much longer than I did. This was my first real photo trip and I'm somewhat happy with the photos I took there. For many of my landscape shots I wish that I had set my aperture to a higher f-stop to really bring out the clarity in the distant trees. Live and learn!

Photo of the Day

I passed a small field at the base of this beautiful mountain range in Fussen, Germany. It was nearly sunset and I ran down this private road with  my Sony NEX-7. This was the first trip I took where I made a point of shooting thoughtful photography. I used this trip as a bit of a photo bootcamp... learning and trying as I went along. I realize now that I should have increased my shutter speed so I wouldn't have gotten these ghosting issues.
