Pick your location for sunset. When you are composing your images walk around and enjoy the area where you are capturing images. Check out the angles and enjoy each location and plan out where you will want to be at sunset. There were compositions I wanted to capture in the gardens close to the Ashley River and had noticed Wild Roses in bloom along the water’s edge that I wanted to capture at sunset.
Sunset on the Ashley River
This hedge of Wild Roses went on for over 50 yards and it was easy to find a section for the foreground that flowed nicely. Often the best light of sunsets only lasts 10 to 15 minutes when the setting sun lights up the clouds.
Sunset on the Ashley River, Unprocessed
To process this image I used the white picker in CS6 camera raw and then use Topaz Clarity to enhance the Colors and Contrast.
