I shot this one by an unknown beach in Phuket, Thailand. Nick and I were on a scooter ride around the island on our last day in Phuket, and stumbled upon this secluded lovely beach. It was a couple of hours before sunset. We decided to stay for the sunset. We climbed to the highest point of the surrounding rocks and waited for the perfect timing. And this is what I got after 7 or 8 shots. I love this shot because it highlights the dramatic colors of the sky. And the small island in the middle of the sea makes the composition quite interesting. It was shot in mannual mode, at f/3.5, 1/150th of a second.

A beautiful picture. I just purchasd a new digital camera and will try the tips for shooting sunsets. Thanks.
You're welcome, John. Have fun with your new camera. :)
Hi, Jas, thanks for stopping by my blog. I stumbled upon this post, which like all your other posts, is filled with cool pictures and wanted to comment.
I've been a photographer for many years, published in the same magazines I write for, and I found that bumping up/playing with your camera's ISO is a great way to compensate for a slower shutter speed and/or wider aperature, which will both make sunset shots more creative.
Of course, the best way to do shots like these are with tripods.
At any rate, cool shot!
Some great shots here and a lovely site!
Isn't digital great?!
