v1.Dave: Sunset Photography

Sunset is one of my favorite landscape shots. This is the time of the day that every minute is very crucial to have a nice full golden sun. I love the beauty of the sky when the sun touches the horizon. Its colorful ambient brings elegance to your photo. Adding a little subject in the foreground and it's perfect.

I took this shot on a tripod to attain stability and set it to high aperture not to lose focus on the foreground as well as the background but will be compensated with a slow shutter speed. After 5 minutes, the sun was then covered by the clouds and thus loosing the bright lights. My shot will not end there. I reposition my tripod to get a nice angle on the sky and the foreground subject. After taking various shots , I decided to wait for a fish to show in my camera view.

and luckily got a small fish on the left. I lost the bright setting sun but I got a cute little fish not caught in a net but caught with my shot. I also took a shot with my friend doing his work. A very nice silhouette between the contrasting sky and him.
