Sunsets in the bush are always special. This photo was taken on the 29th August 2015 at 17:18.Lighting
Late afternoon at dusk, just before the sun set.Equipment
This was shot with Canon 650D, EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
I love nature and in particular the South African bush. It is a great privilege, having access to a game park like this. Sunsets / silhouettes always have a special attraction to me.Editing
The picture was taken in RAW and I used Photoshop Elements to process the image. Nothing more than the basics and a bit of cropping.In my camera bag
In the bush I normally pack my camera (Canon 650D) and the EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens as well a EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ISII lens. Also in the bag I keep a spare battery, memory card and cleaning gear.Feedback
There are probably may different ways to capture a beautiful images, however the first step is being there. Always be prepared for a photo opportunity, constantly adjusting to the prevailing conditions. Sunsets are always great, however be aware of the foreground and interesting clouds never hurt. Lastly enjoy what you are doing.
