In addition, their best lighting conditions can also differ, so your chances of making a spectacular sunset scenery not doubled? To find this place, we must first consider is the direction of the light. When the sun is setting and near the horizon, the evening before the last rays of sunshine will add a layer of beautiful warm color to move, for the earth and in the opposite direction of the position of the with the sun on the mountain light, bring the earth golden glow. Wait until after the sun completely disappeared in the horizon, before the real darkness comes, we still have a short period of time to enjoy the beauty of sunset, then we can try to shooting Angle to transform toward the sun's position, and have the opportunity to shoot a photo include sunset silhouette effect.

The early bird catches the worm.

We can choose to go out in at noon on site investigation work, most photographers will not go out in this time, after all this time the light of the condition is not good. We can light out of the door, or only with a portable camera to record the scene, so we don't have to struggle for carrying heavy equipment.

Before starting the survey location, don't forget to make sure the accurate direction and location of sunset. We can search related information through the Internet in advance, and then use the compass to locate, or use a mobile phone App to help us to confirm the relevant information.

After sunset the sunset scene, all the scene will be in the shadow on the ground, at this time we no longer need to focus on the question of the depth of field, but instead will focus on the shape of the scene itself, because we want to be able to in the picture presents interesting silhouette and the sky the contrast between the effect of colour profusion. Casting is the key; we need to really have a strong sense of form, rather than the easy fuzzy objects in the dark.

Instead use the spot light, and the sky part of the screen to lightGuarantee will do so on the one hand came out of the sky color and detail perfect reduction, on the other hand is also the prospect of in order to make the picture presents the effect of the silhouette.
