Ashanali Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) This should be an easy month for people. This month is all about sunrise and sunset. You can take photos of anything or anyone you want, but the rules are, it must be taken within 20 minutes of the advertised sunrise or sunset times AND there is to be no flash used (unless you are backlighting and using it as fill flash). Keep in mind, that the beautiful rich colours of sunset are usually happening about 5 minutes after the advertised sunset time. You can go back over your knowledge of previous months to explore landscape, backlighting, movement, aperture etc. This month I would also like to encourage people to talk about the settings they have on their camera and why they chose to shoot the way they did (you don't have to, but it can sometime help the process to understand what you are thinking as you shoot.) Good luck and have lots of fun. Edited October 1, 2009 by Ashanali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangerineDream Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I use a Canon 400D - much of the time it's left on full auto, but for sunrise and sunset shots I usually run it at between ISO200 and 800 - the Canon handles faster speeds with no trouble at all - only camera I'm confident in using and shooting at ISO1600 without a huge amount of noise!! Hazelnut sunset - July June sunrise April sunset March Zoomed in.... March was a great month for sunsets in Trentham!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colliepaws Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Wow there's some wonderful photos up already! I've only had my 50D for a week and a half so I'm completely new to the whole world of dslr but I hope it's okay if I join in. My photos are nothing real special but I had fun taking them! JS - Hey! You were at 'my' beach! I am about 5 mins drive from Henley Beach and that's where I took this lot of photos....love it down there. :D I took these photos tonight between 6:05pm - 6:27pm. They are all straight off my camera cos I don't have a photo editing program yet....I'm hoping to get something soon though since I'm sure my photos could use a bit of help!
