When it comes to landscape photography, finding a beautiful lake at sunset is almost doing it on cheat mode. Even so, doing an occasional roundup of photographs of lakes is one of those exercises for a photographer that can be very motivational and inspiring. These photos of lakes are some of the best I have seen recently and I thought that everyone might enjoy an eye-candy roundup just for fun.

If you want to emulate some of these lake shots, then I have included a resources roundup at the end of the post. But you should also get your basic landscape photography skills in shape as it is those skills that allow photographers to get images like these ones. For that we recommend you take a look at this landscape photography guide.
