Sometimes the sunset is so beautiful that you want to save it in your iPhone’s gallery. But when you try to take a photo, it doesn’t come out as pretty as it looks.
The difference between watching sunset with your eyes and watching sunset through a camera lens is a lot, but with the right moves and techniques, you can still take sunset pictures with your iPhone and save the pretty sight forever.
8 Tips to do Sunset Photography with iPhone
If you have some photography skills, there are 8 tips for you if you want a gorgeous sunset picture.
1- Subject a Subject of Focus
When you have opened up your iPhone camera to take the photo, you need to select a subject that will be a focus point in your picture. Find something interesting that will make the sunset standout because looking at just a picture of sunset can be a bit boring.
2- Create Silhouettes with the Help of Sunlight
Silhouettes in the sunset photography make the picture look aesthetic and mysterious, all while capturing the beauty of the sunset.
To create the silhouettes in your pictures, you need to turn on the exposure feature manually. Make sure that the object or person you are trying to make a silhouette of is between you and the sun.
3- Capture More People with the Sunset
If you want to make your picture relaxing and full of life, try to add more people in your photo when you are capturing the sunset on your iPhone.
The people watching the sunset can act as your main subject while you can try to take a picture of them watching the sunset. Taking pictures during the golden hour is the ultimate way to capture a picture perfectly.
4- Use iPhone’s Flash and Sunlight
Using the iPhone’s flash on camera app can add a bit of a different effect in your sunset photos. Also try to make the best out of the light of sunset. Using flash and sunset light, you can capture a photo that is more than just a setting sun.
5- Capture the Sunset Photos Over Water
The reflection of the sunset over water looks amazing. It instantly brightens up your picture and makes it look more gorgeous. If the water is moving, try Slow Shutter on iPhone. You can capture a sunset picture over water on a river, waterfall or sea.
6- Use Burst Mode on iphone
When you capture subjects in motion, it creates a more lively and unique effect to your iPhone photos. To ensure that you capture the motions well, use the Burst Mode on your iPhone camera.
Hold the button to capture multiple pictures at the same time and choose the one that seems perfect to you.
7- Use Panorama Mode on iPhone
Panorama mode is the best way to use contrast and depth to your iPhone photos. The sunset has some low angles of light too that can be captured when you take pictures in panorama mode. When you are taking a picture of sunset with landscapes, panaroma mode is the best.
8- Use HDR Mode
High Dynamic Range(HDR) mode on iPhone is great for exposing different tones of light in a picture. It allows you to have more exposure in a scene that has a lot of light, just like sunset.
HDR mode shows all the light and colors in details but sometimes it can also look unnatural. If you take the picture well, HDR mode can be quite useful.
