Photos from my new house.. C/C welcomes

[mike202019]

Hi Everyone.. I took a bit of a hiatus and moved entirely across the country to California. Wow there have been the most incredible scenic moments and it's made me want to start taking pictures again.

I'm looking for a bit of critique for these.

Moon: First time I've ever shot a moon so I just sort of winged it.. Not sure on composition.

Details: Tripod, 300mm, f/16, 1/50 sec. 400 ISO-400




Sunset 1: Everyone was outside enjoying the fading sun, and it was blinding so it made for some cool silhouettes.

Details: Handheld, 50mm, f/9, 1/2500 sec. ISO-100




Sunset 2: This was just a dramatic sunset. I wanted to get a slower shutter speed to blur the waves coming in, but it kept overexposing.. Any ideas on how to overcome this? I'm guessing I need a filter? Also, I feel like a tripod would've made this a lot sharper.

Details: Handheld, 50mm, f/10, 1/20 sec ISO-100

I like sunset #2, the extreme pano. It's small on-screen, but it looks like some incredible things are going on in the shot; it would look good printed large.

Welcome.

The moon's not bad. The pano is cool, but maybe just a little dark at the edges. The last one is very cool.
