Regardless of your skill level or how fancy your camera gear is, there are some basic sunset photography tips that anyone can benefit from.
When it comes to sunset photography, the settings and technique you use are more important than the camera & lens you use. And... this is where you switch your camera setting into manual shooting mode.
I'll talk about some basic settings you will need to adjust on your camera to get a stunning sunset photo. Lets start with the aperture settings. To get a large depth of field you will need to increase your aperture to a high number (f/11 to f/16). You will also need to keep your ISO as low as possible in order to avoid the 'grains' in your photo. You need to remember that the higher the ISO the brighter you image will be. You can also change the cameras white balance setting from auto to cloudy - this will help you get yellow, purple or red sunset pictures.
Another trick is to get low while taking sunset photos 😎 Find a good spot and make sure you are on a lower ground and looking up into the direction of the sunset.
