Fiery Sunset
I was driving home from work the other night, watching the sky transform into a colorful canvas of orange and pink. Before my very eyes the rays of the sun were caught up in the clouds and shooting off into all directions. It was gorgeous! From the cursing about the fact that I was driving until the moment I was finally able to pull over to take a photo the sky must have changed shades of orange at least ten times. The sun was almost about to sink behind the mountains by the time I took this shot.
What’s the best camera setting?
I had to capture this moment so quickly that I didn’t have time to change the settings on my camera. I literally turned it on and did the point and shoot thing. Often I try different settings and see what the best was on downloading the photos to my computer.
It turns out (luckily) my camera was set to automatic, which was probably a whole lot better than macro or a bright light setting. I would love to know what the best setting for a shot like this is, in case another opportunity, like this sunset, comes up again.
What settings do you use for sunset photos?
