Techniques of shooting sunrise and sunset

1. The best seasons for sunrise and sunset are spring and autumn. These two seasons are later than the sunrise and earlier than the sunset in summer, which is beneficial to shooting. In spring and autumn, there are more clouds, which can increase the shooting effect. Half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset is the prime time for shooting. Before shooting, you must think about the effect you want to show in advance, go to the shooting location before sunrise, and choose your own seat and suitable prospect.

2. If conditions permit, it's better to shoot in the wild. After all, the air in the wild is much more thorough than in the city. However, whether in the wild or in the city, the location should be relatively open and the terrain should be high. When shooting in the wild, choose a place with higher terrain, such as a mountain, and choose the angle of view from high to low, so that there will be no unnecessary objects blocking the sun near and on the ground when shooting, which is beneficial to the performance of the main content. When the sun rises, the mountains and peaks are in the big backlight, which will produce a rich effect. Of course, if your location has a wide view, such as a large waterside, it is also an excellent location to shoot the sunrise and sunset.

3. Cloud is a natural reflective object in shooting, which can spread the red light of the sun, thus constantly changing the color and composition of the work. Clouds can also be used as the main subject for shooting. But pay attention to what happens when clouds cover the sunset; Light will shoot from behind the clouds, which will add a very touching effect to the photos.

4. Shooting the reflection of the water surface will add color to the photos of sunrise and sunset. Many excellent photos of sunrise and sunset are done by the water, because at sunrise or sunset, the sparkling water surface reflects beautiful rosy clouds. Photographing the reflection of the water surface will add color to the photos of sunrise and sunset, and a calm sea surface or lake can reflect the scenery in the sky. It presents an image like a mirror, and the breeze blowing over the water always disturbs this reflection. Leave a more dazzling light on the water, and draw a light path from the horizon to the foreground of the picture. When the sun sets, this light path will extend to your eyes.
