Sunset and Sunrise photography are the most common photography a photographer wanted to try, not just photographers, even an ordinary person wants to try the Sunset photography, and everyone loves the beauty of the sun First thing you need to do is to think and plan, the point and shoot approach of sunset photography wont work, your aim is to create a portrait not just an ordinary snapshot of the sky. Think and be creative, look around the scene and you can try include the fore, mid and the back ground.

When you take pictures, you have to learn to take precedence over what our mind has filtered. You must recognize and visualize all this. Search for sunset images on the internet this will help you a lot, this will give you an idea about what stunning sunset pictures look like. Shooting the sun with different lenses, different lens will result to a different perception. Look for attractive elements to incorporate into your photograph. Make a number of shots at different exposures to find out the result of changing the aperture and shutter speed of your camera. Set your DSLR to auto bracketing mode, not the auto white balance. You Shoot in RAW because RAW this is recommended for post processing, read my previous article entitled camera RAW for Beginners.

To shoot a figure (like two lovers) with the sunset as the background, set ISO to around 300 or greater and your aperture around f/5 or f/8 and shoot in Manual Mode. Shooting in JPG format (RAW is recommended like I said), set your White Balance to cloudy. Turn off auto focus and use manual focus, lie in order to point your camera towards the sky to eliminate disturbing elements. If you want to develop your sunset and sunrise photography and you believe the scene is attention-grabbing, revisit and try to make more pictures, until you acquire the precise illustration thats on your mind.About the Author:
