Today i went out to Japan Town, in hope of catching the sunset, since it was quite a sunny day, with on and off clouds. Not only was the sunset a bright glowing red, but the astrostratus clouds mixed with the sunset was breathtaking. I used a
polarizing filter for this, to spice up the clouds a little bit and add a couple (2.3 exactly) stops to my picture, so that i could have a slower exposure time to get the traffic motion blur.generally when shooting sunsets i would recommend a
graduated neutral density filter, so that you can have a dark, rich and colorful sunset sky, while the bottom half of the picture, whatever it may be gets properly exposed, instead of over exposed.
This picture was taken in japan town on at
Geary blvd & fillmore at this overpass walkway, looking down Geary blvd, away from downtown.
Exposure time: .08 sec
f-stop: 3.8 (5.2 with polarizing filter)
ISO: 200
Filters: Polarizing filter (adds 2.3 stops)
