Top Five Sunset Tips

Top five sunset shooting tips -- and they work just as well with point-and-shoot cameras as they do with SLRs.

* Don't forget to turn your back on the sun. The glorious light that is filling the sky has a great effect on the landscape behind you, too. Be sure to turn around and look.

* Be a storm chaser! The best sunrises and sunsets follow rain and thunderstorms, so take a chance and drive to the beach at the end of a stormy day. You may just get lucky.

* Don't automatically put the sun itself in the center of the frame; very often you can enhance the image design by putting it to the extreme left or right, or high or low in the frame.

* Mix up your shots with verticals and horizontals.

* Be sure to wait for the "afterglow" that comes after the sun has slipped below the horizon. So often I see other photographers packing up before the real show has begun.

You can shoot heavenly sunrises and sunsets anywhere. Written by Jeff Wignall. Read the whole article here: http://www.creativepro.com/article/photo-how-gifts-sky
