Tip of the Day: Photographing Sunsets

During those few precious moments, when the sun is setting down, the skies, as well as everything else lit by the setting sun is golden and beautifully colored. Sometimes though, when we shoot, the pictures we capture do not do justice to what we actually saw. To resolve this problem, consider getting a sunset filter. Yes, there is such a thing. It really makes those yellows, oranges and reds Pop! A sunset filter is graduated, which means that its strength is decreased gradually to compensate for a split between the sky, and the land. If you are using an interchangeable lens camera, consider a square type filter, since you will be able to use it on several lenses. If your camera has a fixed lens (permanently affixed to the camera) find a screw-in filter which will match the size of the lens.
