Many people are fascinated with the view of sunset. That is why sunset has been one of the most popular photography scenes that we come across. For photographers, every sunset provides an opportunity to capture a unique scene, with different set of clouds or things in foreground. Photographing a sunset view also gives you infinite variations of colors in one evening itself. However, sunset photography can be trickier than what you initially thought. So here are some quick tips on how to successfully capture a beautiful sunset scenery without even with your simple point-and-shoot camera.
- First of all, you need to have a camera (preferably a DSLR so you can have full control of your aperture and shutter speeds) and a tripod or a steady place to rest your camera.
- Think about your composition. You should have a clear idea on how you want to capture your sunset scene. Take into consideration the clouds, the shades and colors as well as the objects in the foreground.
- Go down on the exposure if you are shooting the sun with the whole sky. Underexposing your scenery gives you a perfect back lit picture and results in more saturated colors.
- When shooting sunsets, you need lots of patience as it usually takes several minutes in order for you to get the perfect picture you are looking for. Take lots of shots as the scenery changes from one minute to another, giving you lots variations of shades and colors of the sky.
