In Camera
Get ready for your sunset sequence
Set manual mode
You’ll need to use manual mode to be able to adapt to the changing light. Start at f/22, at an ISO of 100. Call up your histogram and adjust the shutter speed so that the graph isn’t stacked on either side. As the day develops, lengthen the shutter speed using the histogram as a reference point.
Shoot in RAW
Shoot in RAW so you can adjust the white balance or exposure later, if needed. You can also make each image significantly different in postprocessing if required. You can use as little as two images, but shoot 20-30 if you can, to give you plenty of choice when it comes to editing.
