This is one of my first attempts at landscapes when i got my 350d. I suppose it is a matter of opinion but i thought the light was ok. Any comments good or bad are most welcome____JIM.

Re: Rudyard Lake At Dawn
Hi Jim, glad to see you've put a couple of images in your gallery already. Firstly how wonderful to have such scenic opportunities on your door step - definitely worth getting up a 4.30 in the morning for! Regarding your shot - whilst you have captured the stillness and tranquility of the early morning I have to say that the image could do with being being sharper (focus-wise). I see from your exif data that you had ISO 200 set; I would imagine that this is why the camera selected a wide aperture, f5 and a slow shutter speed of 1/3 sec in order to try and get the correct exposure. Were you hand-holding? I think you would have achieved a much sharper shot if you had used a tripod and also set a smaller aperture so that you had a much greater depth of field. Good try though.

Re: Rudyard Lake At Dawn
Hi Jim and welcome to DPNow. This had the potential for a good shot, though unfortunately it is not sharp. Not sure if its lens blur or camera shake, though the 2 lights in the small building in the distance suggest there is some camera shake. Early morning shots such as this are best done with a tripod in my experience. Once of the golden rules of this sort of photography though is to get it sharp.Comment

Re: Rudyard Lake At Dawn
Very nicely composed shot! If you are able to revisit the scene, would suggest as others have said, to use a tripod for low light conditions! editing would benefit from a saturation tweak as well!JocelynComment
