THIS ISSUE: The 1940 Air Terminal Museum Due to inclement weather we could not be there. This field trip will be re-scheduled in the near future. PHOTO TIPS: How to Improve Your Sunrise and Sunset Photos -- Just as an outdoor light at night attracts bugs, shutterbugs are naturally attracted to sunrises and sunsets. There are many ways to improve your sunset pictures beyond the ordinary. First, scout locations in advance, since the light changes quickly when the sun is near the horizon. Find something of interest to include in the foreground. A body of water is good, an interesting building or other object in silhouette adds interest, as does a moving object such as a boat, or a string of autos with trails of color from the tail lights, or people. Use a graduated neutral density filter to hold detail in the foreground. Experiment with various lenses or zoom settings—wide-angle for a panoramic vista with a wide swath of sky, a telephoto to compress the perspective and make the setting sun large in the picture. Use a solid tripod to get the sharpest images. Check out the scenery 180° from the setting sun, too. Sometimes the light coming from a low angle and the warm color give you breathtaking shots of buildings, cityscapes, and landscapes that are far superior to the sunset you originally went out to capture.
