Professional photographer Tiffany Warner explains how to frame a sunset.
I love a sunset and pulled over to the side of the road to capture this beauty. I sought out a point of interest – the old gum tree and the little family of cows surrounding it. While waiting for the sky to reach a rich orange hue, I took great delight in watching the calf dance around the trunk.
I framed the image using the rule of thirds, leaving the top two-thirds for the sky’s colours and the bottom third for the grass. By placing the tree to the left, I created an open composition that allows the viewer to take in the lovely sky.
💡 Tip: Remember to look for a point of interest, but make sure it doesn’t obscure the entire view.
Happy snapping!
