sunset has the same magic wherever it is-in melbourne US or Chennai India. However, not many go crazy over my shots. With a fractured arm and ruptured tendons I cannot drive myself to Hafmoon bay or SFO. I have to coax my husband to drive me to one of the places.

Location
This photo was taken in Sylamore, Arkansas. The mountain here is my personal favorite location for photographing sunsets.Time
Around 7:00 p.m. in March 2013Lighting
As darkness began to close in around me, I especially liked the way the light given off by the setting sun became a stark focal point of this composition.Equipment
I used a Nikon D7000 with a 100mm-300mm lens. I used the many tree trunks around to brace the camera against.Inspiration
Sunsets take my breath away. No two are alike, and sometimes one changes so rapidly that each image I shoot could be from another day. I probably have more sunset photos than any other subject.Editing
Here I did a small amount of cropping and bumped up the saturation a bit. Nothing else was really needed for me to be happy with the photo. I usually don't do a lot of post-processing.In my camera bag
I carry at least two cameras, usually my Nikon D7000 and Nikon 3200. I have a variety of lenses including a micro lens, 100mm-300mm, 300mm-500mm, and two lenses up to 55mm. I use only Nikon and hope to have a wide angle soon.Feedback
Find a favorite sunset spot, set up early and wait. Stay longer than you think you need, to avoid missing unexpected surprises. The most important advice I can offer is to MOVE around. No matter what I am shooting, I like to photograph from as many angles as possible. Since the light changes so quickly with sunrises/sunsets I go back to the same locations often to experiment with composition, exposure, etc.
