Location
This photo was taken in the Superstition Mountain area of Arizona! It is called Gold Canyon!Time
On my evening sunset walk I "saw" this beautiful sight! I always carry my camera with me and was able to capture the golden moment the sun was setting in the most perfect place!Lighting
All I can say about sunset photos is.....wait! Wait for that perfect moment. If you are unsure about the timing just take several photos of what seems like the same thing! Once you preview your photos taken you will realize you found the right time to take that perfect photo!Equipment
My camera is a Canon Power Shot SX50HS. It was set on "Auto"! Just hold your breath and snap your photo no tripod needed! :-)Inspiration
The area of Gold Canyon is an inspiration in itself! I love walking and I love sunsets! This was just one of the perfect times I have encountered such beautiful awe!Editing
As in ALL of my photos I do NOT use any post-processing. What I see through the lens is what I share with everyone! It gives each of my viewers the experience of seeing exactly what I saw!In my camera bag
My normal bag equipment is my one camera and extra batteries!Feedback
It is very simple to capture a photo similar to this! As I mentioned before the key is wait! Or take several photos of the same moment! For a sunset photo the light changes as you wait so no need to mess with camera settings!
