Optimal parameters for shooting sunrise and sunset with SLR.

First of all, it needs to be a "golden moment" one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset.

Secondly, when shooting sunrise/sunset, we usually shoot with a small aperture, and the aperture is adjusted between f/8 and f/ 16. Sensitivity shooting at the lowest possible sensitivity, 50-200. Shutter speed is uncertain and needs to be adjusted according to the change of light.

In addition, there are some places to pay attention to. When metering, you can measure the light above sunset, and increase the exposure compensation of 1- 1.5EV, and the shooting effect will be better. In order to prevent glare, it is recommended that you use a hood. If you can use a tripod, try to shoot with it.

Then, when shooting sunrise/sunset, it is recommended not to use automatic white balance; Because it is very useful to adjust the white balance at this time, you can render the picture. It is recommended to set it to a warm tone of 9000K K k.
