Cat Island- Traditional sunset
On the night of my arrival back in Chicago I was welcomed with a wonderful sunset view from my back deck. I’m going to tell you a dirty little secret about sunsets and professional photographers…”we secretly enjoy shooting them.” Sure, you’re not going to find them in our portfolios. And why would you since any Google search of sunset images produces well over a million hits. More importantly, you don’t need to be a pro photographer or know anything about Rayleigh scattering to know a sunset produces amazing colors that are begging to be photographed. But here are a few tips when shooting a sunset: 1. Feel free to kick up the color saturation. 2. Make it your own, vignette the image, a different POV, change the colors or heaven forbid change it to black and white. 3. Lastly, remember to use your flash when shooting people in front of a sunset (otherwise your images will come out flatter and darker than desired.) So, it’s true all photographers love shooting sunsets, and sure it’s been done before, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it your own….so enjoy!
