To capture a sunset really well, it is not enough to be in the right place at the right time by chance. Amateur photographers should calmly search for a camera location that ideally offers more than horizon, advises the photographic industry association. I know that because just a few month ago I was a writer at https://senperfect.com/ and now I am photographer and graphic designer at big corporation. You have to follow your dream.
And now, go back to photography. This can be about a rock formation in the mountains or even a ship lying on a roadside at the sea. When in doubt, come back, wait and see, because spectacular sunsets are hard to predict.
If you have a system or SLR camera, according to the experts, you should use a short focal length lens in the range of 17 to 35 mm to photograph a sunset. As a camera setting, the aperture priority is optimal.
For the photographer has full control over the depth of field. If consistent sharpness is desired for foreground and background, the aperture should be set between f / 11 and f / 16. The ISO value should be selected as low as possible - this has a positive effect on the image quality.
If available in the equipment, the hobby photographer should set a gray gradient filter of three f-stops in front of the lens. Because at sunset, the difference in contrast between the bright sky and the foreground in the dim light easily exceeds the dynamic range of the camera. Alternatively, you can also improve the recording with a picture editing program at home on the computer.
If you are not satisfied with the automatic white balance of the camera, it may be worthwhile to choose the preset cloudy. As a result, the color temperature is warmer, which the experts say the natural colors of the sunset is beneficial.
If you like experimenting with the additional functions, you can also try out the integrated filters and effects. Many cameras also offer a setting where one subject is automatically captured one after the other with all available filters.
