Bell Canyon Reservoir

Took a hike up to a reservoir near my house yesterday and snapped these pics. They are all using high ISO's because I didn't take my tripod with me.

And two bonus shots. When I got to my car the sunset was too awesome to not get a couple snaps of.

You don't need to be using f/14, especially if your shutter is only 1/40 and you are handholding.

What aperture do you suggest for keeping most everything in focus? I am just getting in to landscape stuff, but most people say to keep the aperture pretty high to keep your foreground/background in focus.

On the shots of the mountains far off you wouldn't notice much if any difference between say 5.6 and 14. On your deer etc, you aren't getting the whole shot in focus anyhow and the separation of the deer being in focus vs the background out of focus helps bring the attention on the deer.

The deer shots were done at f2.8 and f8.
