My next post of this mini-series (which I will take a break from) focuses on sunsets. The benefits of being in the countryside, where it is somewhat flat, is what happens both in the and in the evening. Unfortunately I very rarely get up to see the sunrise, so therefore it makes more of a sunset person. In the open, light pollution isn't a problem so therefore the transformation of seeing the sun set at 8 to 9 o'clock (depending on whether it is early or late summer) to seeing the (very) starry nightsky is spectacular. The only problem is the mosquitoes, which you get used to over time.
What I have noticed with my photos, is that one woud need clouds to make a decent sunset photograph. I have compared ones with clouds and ones without, and what I have found is that the colours are far more vibrant and picturesque when there are clouds. The sky seems to become more alive. The two photos (below) show this. I see them as an Aurora Borealis substitute in a way, due to the different colours you get. The problem with sunsets in the city is that you may see it more as a pretty backdrop, because you are more focused on other things. In the countryside however, there is more of a focus on the actual sunset and that you are not distracted by what is around you. That is why I like these photos.
Enjoy!
