Take a photo suitable for framing
Sunset and sunrise photography tips, camera settings, gear, and more with Photo Genius.
Sometimes you see a sunset and wish you could capture those colors forever. But when you take a photo, those reds, purples, and oranges probably won’t look the way you see them in real life using a camera’s default settings.
This is because the camera needs to adjust to the light level of the sunset. It also needs to record the depth of the colors in the sky. You will probably need to set your camera manually to do this. Different cameras have different capabilities for capturing sunsets.
If you want to preserve the rich colors of the sunset, you can make a few changes to your camera settings to capture the most lifelike photos.
