It is a token of friendship between Berlin and Manila."

[PHOTOGRA-TRIP] Practing Photography: Shooting the cloudy sky right before sunset!

Hey guys this is part two (2) of me taking shots at our cloudy skies before the sun sets! If you want to see the first part where I actually shoot at dawn time click here (Practicing Photography: Shooting the sky during dawn!).


Before the great Sun sets its great ray of light
Before the great Sun sets its great ray of light     F - stop 5:6    Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec.    ISO: 200
Once again I played this photo with lightroom and I see this amazing result on how the sun light creates a wonderful scene. Image was taken with 5:6 aperture, 1/1600 seconds in shutter speed and 200 ISO.



Tree line Horizon before the sun sets
Tree line Horizon before the sun sets     F - stop 5:6    Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec.    ISO: 200
This second image here is just a follow up from the first shot taken with the same settings, but this time I included the tall grass and tree line on the scene.

Tree line Horizon after the strong sun rays disappear
Tree line Horizon after the strong sun rays disappear      F - stop 6:3   Shutter speed: 1/400 sec. ISO: 200
In this image the strong rays from the sun suddenly dwindled down while thick dark clouds passed by
Camera was adjusted to 6:3 aperture and 1/400 seconds of shutter speed while ISO is still on 200.



Staring out at the dark gray sky
Staring out at the dark gray sky      F - stop 4:8   Shutter speed: 1/640 sec. ISO: 200

Staring out at another dark gray sky
Staring out at another dark gray sky      F - stop 4:8   Shutter speed: 1/640 sec. ISO: 200

These next images where taken when a series of dark clouds passed by after the sun set. Few moments later these clouds actually brought some rain shower and quickly disappeared. Both where shot at 4:8 F-stop, shutter speed is 1/640 seconds and ISO is under 200.



Ending with a light from a pole      F - stop 5:6   Shutter speed: 1/400 sec. ISO: 200
And to end the session before it was dark, I took a photo of this street light because I kinda have the feels when you stare at the sky with it. I was really thinking of putting in a quote but all I've come out to is this image so hope you enjoy!

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos, and as always feel free to comment down what you think about the shots, follow the blog and thanks for viewing!
