Ok, I will normally meter somewhere near the sun, so that the clouds are a bit darker & the sun brighter. Do not point the camera at the sun! Also, you might want to try when the clouds are not so thick. Light fluffy clouds are good. Sunsets with a bit of horizon, with buildings.... so many ways of taking. Think most shots I have seen show a bit of the ground, maybe the bottom 1/3 only. Im not an expert at sunset shots though.

Here is one of mine:

Nice one! The sun right behind the C-130.

You can use filters. Or you can get effects like this without filters. All I did is a white balance change. The photos were taken about 1 min apart.

<SIGH!> Landscape people do not seem to like anything I post, they never give any comments. :dunno:

 

[lastboltnut]

Yah, white balance.....but it applys to the whole pic. Some filter only the top part.

 

[lastboltnut]

Yah, they dun reply........mostly they like pics with PS touch I think. Very high color contrast and outline type with fine details......high demand, less of point and shot without post processing. Just my feel.

 

[lastboltnut]

If got parasuter better!

My personal liking: too bright.......

Well, if you use an orange filter, you will get a slight orange cast to the more visible parts. There are also half filters, like what you mentioned.

Yeah, snobs, the whole lot of them! :sticktong Hehehe!

I just prefer to do less processing, rather try to think about it & take the picture.

ooh.. u interested in nature shots? i like e unpredictability of snappin nature..

yeahz.. set to small aperture. muz make use of wat we haf.. since e colors ainT dere, muz use e brightness of e sun to create a star-burst effect to make it look nt dat ordinary..

a sunset photo i took at Redang

A bit of lens flare. You might want to reduce you exposure a bit, get the hills and people to be a bit darker, also the sun will not be as glaring. I like the shadows cast by the people.

a sunset photo i took at Redang

i find e flare nt too bad lehz.. wld haf been better if u took an angled shot.. e flare wld be at e side. e main thin for me is e distractin white clouds above e trees.. and another, e sun looks alittle blown out.
