Best Tips for Sunset Photography

For any photographer the most inspirational subjects are both sunrise and the sunsets. In fact, the most beautiful scene of sunset is the main reason due to which people start photography. There is no need to buy a special camera or get some training in fact anyone can take great photos with a simple camera too. It is very easy to take good sunset photos without any expertise. Here are some simple and easy tricks to get an astonishing shot.

Sense The Sunset

First of all, learn to predict the time of sunset. This will help you to prepare your camera just before the sunset as it lasts for few minutes therefore it is necessary to take good advantage in that few minutes. Choose your location and keep your camera ready before sunset in order to capture the best photo of the sunset.



Focus on Foreground

You need to find the best foreground subject as this is the most important tip among all. People take lots of photographs of sunset but they are really unaware of selecting a good foreground to make it more compelling and the photograph then seems to be an ordinary one. Just taking a photograph of sky is not enough you need to identify some object that stands just below the horizon such as building, windmill or trees. This shape will create a good outline for the picture.



The Rule of Third

Fill up your photograph with colors. You might have heard about the rule of third in landscape photography. In simpler words this means that your horizon should be a third of the way from the bottom or the top of your photo in order to create a balanced composition.

Now the trouble is when you are taking photograph of the sunset you have to take everything in the foreground in that scene. It means that if you follow the rule of thirds the photographs you capture may be black with some part of its composition. So in this situation you can ignore the rule of thirds. Allow the sky to dominate in your composition, it will fill your photograph with colors and will make it more attractive picture of the sunset.

Use Water Reflection

If you are near water and want to take a picture of sunset with that view, then you can wisely add that view to enhance the effect. People when take a picture at river or beach they always take the picture of sunset by standing far way. This method fails to add the reflection of water in the photograph.

Instead of adding a rich foreground in the picture there will appear so much empty black space in the photograph. You need to either get to the wet sand or down to the water’s edge. These foregrounds will echo the color of sky to your photograph. This will not only make your photograph colorful but will provide you the opportunities of much more compelling compositions.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Review

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is the company's latest full-frame DSLR aimed at advanced amateurs and enthusiasts, and even professionals looking for a second Canon DSLR body. Its all-new 26MP sensor has Dual Pixel technology for accurate autofocus during live view shooting, and it gains the same 45-point autofocus system from the crop-sensor EOS 80D for viewfinder shooting. A fully articulating touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capability, and 6.5 fps burst shooting round out the package. Coming to market over five years after the release of its predecessor, it should come as no surprise that the 6D Mark II builds upon the original in almost every way. Resolution, autofocus performance, burst shooting speed, video shooting and even battery life are all improved. That said, five years is a long time in the digital camera market, and the competition hasn't stood still. So let's see how the 6D Mark II improved? Key specifications New 26MP CMOS full-frame sensor with...

Understanding Depth of Field

Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual, and the term ‘acceptably sharp’ is a loose one! Without getting too technical, how you will be viewing the image, and at what size you will be looking at it are factors which contribute to how acceptably sharp an image is. It also depends on how good your vision is! Scientifically, it is based on something called the circle of confusion. In these two sketches, I have tried to illustrate what is meant by a narrow and large DoF. In a photograph with a narrow DoF, only a small slice of the image is in focus. Conversely, with a large DoF, much more of the scene is sharp. Aperture Aperture is the opening in your lens that lets light pass through to the sensor. Think of it as a pupil for your lens. It dilates to let more light in, and contracts to restrict light when...
