You've got a grand idea - take a road trip someplace to capture sunset. You've been eyeing this place for some time thinking that this will be a great place for sunset. So after packing a picnic because it will be dinner before sunset and you plan on eating at your special place, you drive a few hours to be in position. And sure enough, it's a great place to photograph sunset as you watch a crowd gather with chairs, blankets and their own picnics to watch nature's light show.
The sun sinks to the horizon.
You shoot a few images, playing with exposures and apertures.
The sun begins to fade behind the horizon.
You shoot a little more.
The sun disappears.
The crowd applauds and disperses.
What do you do? Do you pack up and go home too? Or do you stay a while longer to capture the colors of twilight.
The following images are of the same sunset taken from Rosario Head at Deception pass State Park, but in two of the images my camera was pointed directly where the sun was going down. The other two, I pointed my camera more Southwest of the sunset to capture a different light.
The sun sinks behind the horizon.
And is gone.
Looking southwest just after sunset.
And about 20 minutes after sunset.
Do you know when it is time to go home?
