How to shoot the sunrise and sunset well

The idea of shooting sunrise and sunset came into being. The first question to be considered next is: Where should we shoot sunrise and sunset?

Everyone knows that the sun rises and sets in the west and crosses the sky from left to right. Before shooting, you need to think about the effect you want to shoot in advance. Generally choose places with a wide view: beaches, lakes, hilltops and even the roofs of cities.

Of course, you must choose a place where you can see the sunrise or sunset. If conditions permit, it is best to shoot in the wild. After all, the air in the wild is much more thorough than in the city. But if you shoot in the city, you can also take very good photos.

But 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 higher place, such as the 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 mountain peaks will have rich effects in the big backlight. If you shoot in a city, you can choose a higher building with the same effect and richer levels.

In addition, a higher shooting viewpoint is also beneficial to improve the contrast and composition of the picture. Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to choose highland to shoot this kind of theme. If your location has a wide view, such as the Great Lakes, this location is also an excellent location for shooting sunrises and sunsets. So don't have a fixed mentality when choosing a shooting location, as long as you can show your own photography creativity, it is a great shooting location. The choice of location is very important for shooting this kind of scenery theme. If you shoot the sunrise and sunset in the right place, you are half successful!
