Digital Camera Scene Modes – Sunrise/Sunset
By Karl Peschel on May 9, 2007 in PointAndShoot, camera use, how-to, scene modes
Sunrise/Sunset and Dusk/Dawn. Your digital camera will have one, or perhaps both, of these settings. While most Scene modes change the aperture or shutter speed used, Sunrise/Sunset and Dusk/Dawn modes change how the colors of the scene are recorded. The goal is to record the beautiful quality of light at these times of day.
Sunrise and sunset are times when the world is bathed in beautiful warm light. You’ll hear photographers refer to this as Golden Light or the Golden Hours. By using these settings instead of Auto mode you’ll capture that beautiful light. Try it for yourself next time you photograph a sunset and you’ll see the difference.
