For Perelin Colours and Lucile’s Tech of the Month: Get out when the light is right.
Sunsets happen every day. But they are always different. You’re never quite sure what you will get. And the colours can be amazing! The light at that time of day, even when you aren’t looking at the sunset, is beautiful and golden and delicious.
But you have to be quick! The best colours and streams of light can change in an instant – momentarily!!
I’ve almost reached the point now where I don’t have to be to technical when I take a photo. I shoot in Manual mode so that I have complete control over my camera. It’s difficult but has taught me so much about photography from a technical perspective. Sometimes, I really have to think about what to change to get the right shot, but these days, it’s almost second nature to me – I love it!
I took these photos from Lucile’s Red Bridge – my new favourite bridge of all time – except the last one of course, I just threw that one in to show you the bridge in it’s sunset glory.
