SCENICS & NATURE

THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX

SUNSETS

There are few more richly coloured spectacles in nature than a sky catching fire at the end of the day

 

Sunsets create very dramatic light that

 

isn’t actually that common, which means

 

you need to be ready for it at a moment’s

 

notice. Individually the sky itself makes an

 

interesting picture. Far better, though, is to

 

place something else in the frame to contrast

 

against it: trees, buildings, a landscape or

 

cityscape, or even a person. Your camera will

 

automatically underexpose the foreground

 

subject, as the sky is so much brighter,

 

creating a startling silhouette that looks

 

amazing. If you are silhouetting a person, by

 

turning on the flash you’ll create a startling

 

portrait; the flash lights the person yet the

70

camera captures all of the wonderful sky

colours – the French call this technique

contra jour.

Backlight Scene mode

is perfect for shooting71 dramatic silhouettes of

people, places or objects.

Make sure your lenses are clean and free of dust, particularly if shooting into the sun. Dust and fingermarks create light flair.

DON’T FORGET: VIVID PICTURE WIZARD

The Vivid Picture Wizard or Sunset Scene mode are perfect for increasing colour saturation in dramatic lighting situations.
