This is Lake Bled in Bled, Slovenia. When both the foreground and the background have to be in focus, and the camera-foreground distance is relatively close, you must use aperture priority as the exposure mode so you can choose a small enough lens aperture for complete depth of field. Out of focus foregrounds are distracting and visually annoying, hence the need for as much DOF as you can get. In this shot, I used f/22, 1/50th of a second, and 1000 ISO. This is an HDR composite of three frames.

Jane - I have one of your books, 'Perfect Exposure', I return to it now and then not only for the good advice but also to enjoy the splendid photos.
