Help needed for sunset photography

Nighthawk · Nov 18, 2016

Hi everyone. I am planing on taking some shots of our local sunset this evening. I have a p3a and was just wondering if you guys have some tips from experience for me? Anything i should be aware of or any particular setting i should use? Thanx

I usually set my P4 to -2EV for sunsets.

Hey what about WB? I will try different setting today but is there anything recommended when shooting a sunset? All i know is that you wouldent want a dslr wb set to auto for a good sunset shot si what about the phantom?

HDR adds some nice effects as well. Play around with the White Balance, I usually have it set to daylight, but try auto and other settings. Its best to just sit there and change setting, EV etc and see what you end up with. Photoshop will certainly make your shots come alive. The image at the bottom is the original and was accurate to the actual coloration of the sunset. The top image is the photoshoped image using some of the Google NIK filters.

Good Luck!
