These
clouds in the Antarctic were shot just as the sun was setting, a time
of day when shadows are long and the light is golden. Sometimes it makes
great sense just to look up into the sky and see how the clouds are
shaped. Here, you can see how the low light helps articulate the shadows
and contours of the clouds, and you begin to appreciate seeing how
shapes and forms create an interesting composition. The sun is no longer
directly hitting the lower clouds, giving the image more depth. Keep in
mind that at sunset the colors are their most vibrant.Focus on infinity. Even though the light is low, you don’t need a tripod for these types of shots because the subject is at infinity and you can therefore shoot comfortably at around f/4.5 and still have everything in focus. When you shoot using this aperture you can comfortably handhold the camera because your shutter speed will be fast enough. —Cotton Coulson
