Are you one of those individuals who would probably never be caught without your camera?  Well then you have probably tried to photograph one sunset or another.  Here is a few pics I took while on holiday in the Drakensberg.  The trick is to try taking photos of the sunset at different time intervals, let’s say about every 5 minutes.  Then have a look at how the colours change in the pics.  In the beginning you will probably find

that it still looks a little washed out and bleak, then somewhere in the middle you will find that the colours have been captured a lovely scene with vivid pinks and saturated oranges.  And then right at the end when the sunset seems to be its most beautiful you will see that it is useless trying to photograph it and better to just enjoy the breathtaking scenery.  The key is to find the right moment to photograph every sunset scene.

Lastly, you don’t always have to have the sun in a sunset picture. Be on the lookout for interesting reflections on the water or on reflective surfaces.
