i can see that you love sunsets and sunsets have accompanied you for as many times as you shoot them. i not only get to enjoy your photos sharing here, but the feelings that your photos portrays to me is that the time you have spent with each other.

Thank! please continue sharing!

Nice try for your first attempt!

For the past 2 weeks i've been shooting sunsets non-stop except for thursday and it is still ongoing till today, which is why you can see so much photos of sunset. i have not try sunrise yet cause most of the time i couldn't wake up. lol

i believe sunset is different from day to day. it may be bore going back to the same place over and over again but i still do it after work at 5. it helps me to relax too!

wah! i really want to salute you. you are my idol! and that is exactly the spirit to have in if you want to improve on sunset shoot! you have got it and also surely inspired those photography lovers out there!

Try harder next time to wake up! haha!

very very long but very nice series of sunsets here, you have really motivated me and you have proven yourself that you can motivate yourself in shooting.

you have the drive in you which not many people have to keep on doing the same thing and improving on themselves.

a big kudos!

you are self driven, and also powered driven! very determined! i like your personality in pursuing your photography interest! anyway, having said so far, what camera are you using?

These are a few photos starting from the 2nd one of trying out long exposure at the beach during sunset. i was trying to be a mythbuster, proving that u dun need a ND or Graduated filter to do long exposure.

Wasn't happy wit the photos cos i felt something else was missing from these photos.

It worked! but actually you can see your sky is underexposed now. but your seawater is milky smooth! nice. maybe you still need filters after all.. lol

anyway what is your shutter speed for these shots?

InMyEyes: just a normal Canon 450D

MyViewfinder: my shutter speed was between 5 to 15sec. it was a trial and error for me.

really, good photos does not really depend on camera but the person behind the viewfinder.

Yes! be not afraid to try. Never try and you will never know.

oh ok, yes agreed with watermouth, never try never know.

keep up the good works!

Another day, another try on long exposure;

I felt that it was getting worse for the long exposure shots. 2nd time...

oh yes yes! so you should stop at faster shutter speed! thank for sharing your efforts with us, how you success and how you failed! thank for your courage!

did you try ND400 before?
