Ah, a stunning sky filled with reds and golds, pinks and purples. Here are some suggestions on how to take dazzling sunset pictures. |
|
|
|
Place the horizon off-center
The picture will be more interesting if the horizon is not in the center of the picture. To include a lot of the colorful sky, place the horizon in the lower third of the frame. |

|
Use night flash
Night flash combines a slow shutter speed to capture the background scene with flash that illuminates a nearby subject. It’s especially good for taking a picture of a person with the sunset or city lights in the background. |

|
Include a silhouette
Your sunset pictures will be even better when you include a foreground object such as a tree or a person silhouetted against the colorful sky in the background. Use the ‘no flash” option on your camera, or it won’t be a silhouette. |

|
|
Keep your lens clean
Dust particles, fingerprints, or other foreign matter can cause considerable lens flare when you include the sun in your pictures. |
|
|
Share your pictures
Pictures double in value if you share them! Turn your photo story into a special wall or tabletop display. Create greeting cards and online albums. Have a favorite picture put onto a mug or T-shirt, and be ready to answer, “Who’s that?” or “Where was that taken?” |
