A photo taken at sunset or sunrise is almost always beautiful. The time of day gives even an ordinary scene a special glow, a dramatic setting. Plan and consider a photo you will take at either sunset today or sunrise tomorrow. Take the day to think about it, pick through ideas and locations. Even if you have a busy and chaotic day you always have a moment while you ride the elevator, stop for lunch, some bit of time when planning your photo would give you a creative break in the day.
Don’t make your photo about the sunset or sunrise alone. Have the sky be the setting not the focus. You may take more than one photo, some with flash on and some without the extra light from the flash. Experiment and see what worked best. Most of all, plan your setting, set the scene. Arrange things how you want them, you are your own set director.
