Shooting skills of sunrise and sunset

1. Choose the right place and time.

The best seasons to shoot the sunrise are spring and autumn. These two seasons are later than the summer sunrise, which is beneficial to shooting. There are more clouds in spring and autumn, which can increase the shooting effect. Half an hour before sunrise is the prime time for shooting. Before shooting, you must think about the effect you want to show, the shooting location before sunrise, and choose your own seat and suitable prospect. Choosing the right location to shoot the sunrise is half the battle!

2. Enhance the performance of clouds and fog.

Cloud is a natural reflective object in shooting, which can spread the red light of the sun, thus constantly changing the color and composition of the work. Clouds can also be the subject of shooting. But pay attention to what happens when clouds cover the sunset; Light will come out from behind the clouds, which will add a very touching effect to the photos.

Step 3 capture the reflection in the water

Shooting the reflection on the water will add a lot of color to the photo of sunrise. Many excellent sunrise photos are taken by the water, because at sunrise, the sparkling water reflects beautiful reflections. A calm sea or lake can reflect the scenery in the sky. It presents a mirror-like image, which is always disturbed by the breeze blowing over the water. Leave more dazzling light on the water, and draw a light path from the horizon to the foreground of the picture, extending to your eyes.
