Hello, I just watched a video on how to take photo's of sunset/sunrise. It said to under expose to get warm, rich, bright colors. Start in aperture priority mode, select f/5.6 & see what your camera chooses for the shutter speed. Lets say it chooses 1/1000 of a second. Then go manual & double the shutter speed, so f/5.6 & 1/2000 of a second. Then you can go from there if you need to under expose a bit more, or slow your shutter down a bit.
Wondering if this is good information?
I also read in Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure to take a meter reading to the side of the sun. Then recompose using those settings.
I go in spurts with my photography.
Sometimes it's every thing in sight. Or sometimes it's portraits all the way. But I've been trying to venture out more. Last month it was moon photography. lol I posted a thread about going to Yellowstone next month. Trying to get prepared, & thought the opportunity might arise for some beautiful sunset/sunrise shots. I haven't tried any sun set/sunrise photography yet, so I'm trying to find the best advice to get me started. Thanks
