TIPS FOR TAKING GAME CHANGING SUNSET SHOTS When taking a great raw image of a sunset to work on later in your post-processing software, the first thing I would suggest is to position yourself where you are happy with the composition of the image in your viewfinder, note the position of the sun, any trees or land that is featured, and the horizon. Consider photography principals such as the rule of thirds and try to incorporate them into your image and also consider your horizon and ensure it is as straight as you can get it in camera. These are simple things to set up your image and then you can wait for nature to work her magic. Take plenty of images, using slightly different settings and see what differences there are and which you prefer, experimentation is fun and can show you what you like and can replicate in more images. My go-to editing program is Photoshop, the ‘black/white levels tool’ and the ‘curves tool’ being game changers for me. In post, the first thing I do is double check the exposure of the image then I play around with the curves tool which alters the light and enhances different parts of the image. Then I up both the blacks and whites of the image (sometimes minimally), where you begin to see colour changes and the image begins to look more like my finished product. I might up the contrast a little and up the vibrance/brilliance to really get the colours to pop, although I tend to stay away from the saturation tool as you can begin to get into surrealist photography with over saturation. I am proud of where photography has taken me, it has allowed me to travel extensively and I was lucky enough to be awarded 1st place in the Non- Professional; Fine Art/Landscape category in the 2019 Int’l Photography Awards, giving me a platform to showcase NZ, through my eyes, to the world. I think now, I’d just like to learn more, experiment more, and keep fine-tuning my art.
