Sunset & Digital Photography

Sunset is a very common photographic event. When i started my photography while in school, capturing a nice sunset on film was a difficult task which required lot of training and patience. But today, the digital camera has made this task extremely easy. Any one with a DSLR or even with a point and shoot digital camera can capture stunning sunset pictures. 

 Nice sunset pictures are not a way of show off your talents any more. Most digital cameras have special scene modes which allows the user to capture professional looking sunsets at ease. Once I took some of my sunset shots to my photography teacher and asked for his opinion. All photographs were technically OK, nicely composed..BUT the problems was..they are so common. Any one could take them. 

This is becoming common for most photography situations. Today, everyone got a digital camera or at least a camera on the mobile phone. 
We shoot at almost anything. So....we are regularly exposed to thousand of photographs on a regular basis. To take a photograph which will stand against the rest is the difficult task today. 

The photographs in this post are some of the shots I have taken while wasting some time at Wellawatte beach. I had to pick up my wife from her work place little late, waiting on the road was a terrible experience..BUT luckily I had the camera with me.
