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.
