Weizhou Island, Long Island. Where can I watch the sunset on the island? What are the skills of sunset photography?

The color change of the setting sun has unparalleled dreamy beauty. At the seaside, this beauty will always last longer. The light at sunset will be rendered better, because the tide raises the fog. Here are some islands with beautiful sunsets, with a shooting guide attached.

During the whole sunset, we usually have three shooting stages. These three stages will have different color expressions.

The first stage: when the sun is not setting.

(Sunset at Rainbow Beach on Weizhou Island)

If it weren't for the seaside, this stage would not be conducive to shooting. Because the sun is still strong. But at the seaside, the water mist aroused by the tide will soften the light. This is a good time to shoot. At this stage, you will see golden yellow near the sea surface and the sky is blue. Sea fog will obscure the scenery at sea. All you have to do is find a good scene. At this time, there is no need to adjust the exposure compensation, and 0EV exposure is enough.

It should be noted that don't shoot in light, but it's not light. It is difficult for you to photograph the sea at sunset or in the sun. The backlight is not good at all, and the sky will have no color. So let the light in your picture come from your side.

The second stage: when the sun goes down.

At sunset, the color of the sky is very beautiful. The low color temperature makes the seawater red. But the sky is blue. At this time, the sky will become transparent. Unless there is a big tide, the picture will continue to be hazy.

This stage is suitable for silhouette. At this time, it is necessary to shoot against the light and shoot the sun into the picture. If you have telephoto, the whole picture will be red, and wide-angle shooting will change the color of the whole sky. Each has its own advantages.

The third stage: after sunset

Never put away your tripod and camera and get ready to leave after sunset. The sunset has just been completed, which is actually similar to the lighting conditions at sunset. But as long as you wait for a while. It is possible to wait for a particularly good color. When there are many clouds, the whole sky may burn. When there are few clouds, you may encounter a pink or purple sky. This is a good time to shoot.

When shooting the sunset, don't worry about exposure. Shoot light to reduce exposure, shoot dark to increase some exposure compensation. It is much more convenient and faster than some security technologies.
