Scenery

At ten o'clock in the sunset, the color change is wonderful. At the seaside, this beauty will always be delayed longer. Because the fog rising from the tide will better render the light at sunset.

During the whole sunset, we usually have three stages to shoot. These three stages will have different color expressions. I take my shooting at Ruby Beach as an example.

The first stage: when the sun is not setting.

If it weren't for the seaside, this stage would not be very conducive to shooting. Because the sun is still very strong. But at the seaside, the water mist aroused by the tide will soften this light. This is a good time to shoot.

At this stage, you will see a golden yellow near the sea, and the sky is really blue. Sea fog will obscure the scenery at sea. All you have to do is find a good view.

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 a matter of light. It is difficult for you to photograph the sea at sunset and in the light. If the backlight is not good at all, the sky will have no color. So let the light in your picture come from your side. I don't like the sun in the picture at this stage.

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.

I like to shoot silhouettes at this stage. Because at this stage, 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, while wide-angle shooting will have the color change of the whole sky. Each has its own advantages.

I took a photo with medium focal length here. It can also express the change of the whole color. In the meantime, I hope someone is in my photo. Silhouette, I have always liked people. The existence of people, especially the way a photographer shoots, can set off the beauty of this place-the beautiful scenery will be photographed by someone.

We need to reduce the exposure compensation here. How much to reduce needs to be grasped by everyone at the scene. To see the silhouette is really a silhouette, the sky is the brightest. Of course, as long as it is not dead, post-adjustment is also possible.

The third stage: after sunset

Never pack up your tripod and camera and get ready to leave after sunset. Just after watching the sunset, it is actually similar to the lighting conditions at sunset. But as long as you wait a little. 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.

Again, look at the ground when the sky looks good, find the right ground scenery, and then shoot. Exposure is still to make the picture have good-looking colors.

I want to say here that when shooting the sunset, don't worry about exposure. Many people will ask me how to measure light and how to expose it. As long as you use an electronic camera, you can always see the exposure. Even without the electronic viewfinder function, we can use playback. Shoot bright spots to reduce exposure, shoot dark spots to increase exposure compensation. Are much more convenient and faster than some secret skills.

Sunsets often appear when we eat. If you go to a good place, then I think the temptation of shooting must be far greater than the temptation of dinner.

It's not a sleepless night to shoot the sunset by the sea, but it must be worth forgetting to eat.
