One thing I seem to be doing a lot recently is taking images at twilight. No, not that stupid movie full of sparkly vampires, when the sun is starting to set. It’s called twilight.
Taking pictures at twilight can give some very nice effects, mostly because the sky goes some lovely shades of blue, purple, pink and sometimes red too.

One of the main things taken at twilight is the sun setting, although I like to focus on the lovely colours the sky goes. Lots of people call Twilight the ‘Magic hour’ due to how it changes lighting, brings out the colours in the sky and deepens shadows, just before night claims the country.
Unfortunately, sunset shots are all the same, there isn’t really anything that seperates them from one another. Sure, one might be taken in a pier in Erith and one might’ve been taken on a beach in Hawaii, but in the end, it’s the same thing.
So, next time you’re out, it’s getting dark and you want to take a picture, follow this sound advice on a website I have been on a few times.
‘Sooooo… What can you do to make your sunset shots stand out? What technique can you make use of that will make your sunset images stand out from all the gazillions of other beach shots, palm tree shots, observation deck pictures, and mountain top photos that are out there?
Simple… Don’t shoot the sunset.
Instead, take your pictures long after the sun has set.
Looooooooong after the sun has set.’
