Photography Tips at Dusk
Dusk is a very interesting time for a photo
shoot. A moment after the sun goes down, we can see various
colors of light that surrounds us, which could be lighting
from houses, restaurants, bars, skyscrapers, etc. These
objects go together with the glow of different colors such
as orange, pink, purplish and red joining the dart bluish
sky The latter very much depends on the weather condition
of the season.
 The
ideal time to shoot beautiful and colorful pictures at dusk
is approximately 30 minutes to 1-hour after sundown. Because
a color film is still able to record the deep blue color
of the sky so that the shape of buildings and objects will
stand out against the background. We advise you not to wait
until the sky has gone black.
The idea of taking a shot at dusk is usually
rendering the combination of different colored light sources
against the colon of the sky. It is important that the shape
of the required object is still defined instead of only
dots of unidentifiable lights.
The required technique is quite simple,
all you need is to work
in the slow speed range of your camera, while choosing for
a small aperture like f/1 on the lens to guarantee sufficient
depth off field. It is therefore advisable to use your tripod.
Use a ISO 100 film and make 3 different exposures of each
scene starting with 1 sec. Up to 1/8 sec.
Happy hunting and have fun!
