Kuching City-Photographing a Sunset.

This sunset picture taken at the new Kuching water front .Beautiful moments which goes beyond descriptive words.

 

The lure of sunset has been chosen to share with many who missed this golden moments.

I find that photography  is a lifelong learning experience. I don't yet have any of the fancier lenses or a tripod, so I try to capture the best possible image with what I do have.

I use slow shutter to most of my sunset shoot...:)

 

Many people are fascinated with the view of sunset. That is why sunset has been one of the most popular photography  scenes that we come across. For photographers, every sunset provides an opportunity to capture a unique scene, with different set of clouds or things in foreground. Photographing a sunset  view also gives you infinite variations of colours in one evening itself. However, sunset photography can be trickier than what you initially thought.
