Photographic method of sunset in African grassland

Generally, if you want to take a bright and dark picture, you need to use a gradient filter.

You can measure the high-light clouds in the sky and the scenes with relatively dark ground, calculate the difference of exposure series between them, and then set the camera to M file to select the exposure parameter combination for the ground scenes. According to the calculation results just now, the gradient filter with appropriate gear can make both high light and dark light exposure normal.

In addition, the position of the sun is low at sunset, so it is better to use the anti-gradient filter. If you want to reflect the color atmosphere at sunset, you can adjust the white balance to cloudy mode, or shoot and store in raw format, and then adjust the color temperature on the computer to reflect warm tones.

The above is the general way to shoot a sunset. I have never been to the African grassland, and I don't know what is different from the general scene. I think if the sunset is just naked on the grassland, it may not look good. You may need to pay attention to the composition when shooting, and you can find the foreground or other scenery to match it, and the shooting effect will be better.
