Tips for shooting sunsets

We know that adding people to the sunset scene can make the photos more attractive, but it can also be anything, such as a bird, the silhouette of the dock, a palm tree, or even a strange-shaped cloud. I don't care what you use, the most important thing is to make your sunset photography have some content.

1. If possible, try to take photos in RAW format instead of JPEG format.

RAW format saves much more photo information than JPEG format, and many tiny color details at sunset cannot be reflected in JPEG format. In addition, when Photoshop is used for post-processing, RAW format pictures have more room to play.

Wait until the sun goes down.

As we all know, if you want to shoot a sunset, you have to shoot it when the sun is about to set on the horizon. This is a classic and commonly used shooting method. If you wait a little longer after sunset, you can still take many good photos. In fact, you can even take as good photos as at sunset.

You may never have heard that there will be a second sunset 20-25 minutes after the sun sets below the horizon. At this time, the colors in the sky are more beautiful than before the sun goes down. Try it, you'll be surprised. Many times, the color in the sky is the most beautiful at the second sunset.

3. Know what is suitable for taking pictures.

Now we know what format we should use to shoot, when the color of the sky is the best, and what weather conditions are most worth shooting.

Wan Li's clear skies will never create a beautiful sunset. If you want to shoot a beautiful sunset, you need clouds in the sky. But not all clouds can, even when the clouds are overcast. You are looking for damaged clouds, preferably pillars. If it is rainy, you will meet the best time. Rain clouds usually dissipate at sunset, which is an ideal condition for shooting sunsets. At this time, the clouds in the sky are enough to reflect all the beautiful colors, but they are scattered enough for you to shoot many wonderful patterns.

I once heard a sales expert say that salespeople should never stay at home in rainy days because all their potential customers stay at home at this time. I think it can be changed a little here: photographers must not stay at home on rainy days, because this is the best time to shoot sunsets.

Now you know three photography skills, which will make you make the sunset more beautiful. Let's sum up: shooting in RAW format; Take photos when the sun starts to set, and you may take better photos when the sun sets for the second time. Don't stay at home in rainy days. This is the best time to shoot sunsets and many other scenery.
