I tried some sunrise pics today and decided to use manual focus only, setting it to infinity each time. I didn't get the results I wanted though. Anyone have some tips?
See ya
Well, I am not qualified to give you advise on Sunrises. I try not to be awake at that time of day!!
But sunsets are a different, still no expert but lots of practice. My approach to this study is to use the bracketing and a tripod. tripod allows me to compose the picture and forget that. Then I try to get a sampling of different exposures. Set the bracketing 1 step then will use the Av for 3 shots, then Tv for 3 shots. This results in 18 photos of the same picture. {DIGITAL IS GREAT} Hopefully you will get at least one good picture. Sometimes you get very lucky as I did in the picture above. The best exposure just happen to have a dove in it as well. Bet you thought I planned that.:p
Hope this helps you get that great shot. When you do please post it.
