Great video, one question where is the best place to expose from, the darkest or brightest part of image
Never ever ever ever try to shoot sunset or sunrise without a very dark ND filter if you are using a mirrorless camera. If not, you will burn your sensor. I learned it from my mistake when I bought my first mirrorless.
Great video. Before watching, I tried to take shots of the red sun from my room. I didn’t try those settings but the sunset settings that came with the Nikon DLR, and some other presets. The sun came out light orange every time. Are there any quick fixes? (Hopefully no more red suns since they are associated with the fires!)
yeah, this is not for beginners. You don’t even explain what apperture and other technical stuff means. I had no idea what you said. I guess I need to learn what all those technical terms mean first
Awesome!!! Thank You Maria!
I am a beginner can you suggest me some improvements by watching my photography videos
As always, a great video by Maria, easy to understand and follow her tutorials.
Thank you

This video is definitely not for beginners lol. She is using $5,000+ of equipment. Like sheeew… but I’m just A amateur with hobby shoot with 7Ti cannon. Sick video. My next camera will be a Sony.
“Sunsets – they happen day in and day out.” They don’t usually happen “day in” though. 😁

I would avoid using F16-F22 at all cost.
Thank you so much! This was so fun!
I guess I must be a long way from becoming a beginner because I have no idea what you just said 😆 but thank you anyway! Just got a Canon Rebel T7, got a lot to learn.
Wow 🤩
You said sunsets happen "day in day out". No, actually they don’t. Sunsets happen day out. Day in is a sunrise. Good photo tips.
…just discovered an awesome location near me for shooting sunsets…have all equipment except ND filter…will order today. Thanks for the tutoring Maria. This is great! Be well.
Thanks Maria , I’m here in Maui , day one .. my place is literally right ON THE WATER ! . Looking to improve my sunset photography.
Photopills $10.99 usd
Thank you for the tips
But the subject it’s clearly underexposed
Another great video from B&H! I love to get any used gear here for all the photography I shoot on my channel!
Thank you!
Thank you, Maria!!!
What ND filter should I purchase? I have a Nikon d3400 with lens 18-55mm and 70-300mm
How do you do it safely brand new camera
I have to replace the sensor from mere seconds thats not dramatic took couple quick shots testing some lighting and now i have some dead pixels and discoloration
Thank you for your teaching comments and support. I just bought a brand new Canon EOS 4000 D it came with telephoto a zoom and the regular lens for white shots. I think it came with some special lens to put on there to protect the camera as well in the picture from getting Sun glare It’s pretty nice camera to start out with. I appreciate all the tips I can get thank you Bobby from California.
Awesome video I definitely want to try this on my next vacation thank you!
That’s crazy your camera shows you what your photo would look like while you’re shooting. My camera doesn’t do that. It only shows me the picture afterwards.
Does anyone recommend a cheaper camera thats good for capturing sunsets?
is the sun dangerous to the camera sensor ? will the ND filter make it safet to film/shoot the sunsets ?
f22? yikes. diffraction!
Many great tips as usual, Maria. Sure do appreciate your 5-minute videos as every word you speak is worth writing down as a note!
You didn’t tell anything about white balance
Yes i need more and more
