Capture sunset perfect clicks and Silhouette Photography | Become a photographer with Shubham Part-8

Silhouette Photography is a type of photography where the main subject is dark and background is kept coloured.

1. [Good to have] Focus the subject, then turn off the auto focus. It's required because making a dark object in-focus could be challenging for the camera. But make sure the camera should hold this position and do not move after turning off the auto focus.
2. ISO: Minimun (100)
3. Aperture: Enough to capture the sharp image. Roughly between f4 to f8.
4. Metering: Spot metering. Pointed towards the background, say sky.
5. Shutter speed: Adjust the shutter speed as the exposure scale should be showing zero. To capture only sun without any other object, do have a slow shutter speed to capture more and more colours in the sky. Use unexposed photos for sun only photos.
6. If you want to capture only sunset, point the sun from any stone or any other object lying on the earth to get it more focused. Since the sun will be at bottom during sunrise/sunset.
7. Zoom: 100-200mm would be a good range.
8. Longer the lens, bigger the size of sun.
