Photography Tutorial - How to 'make' a sunset photograph

Photography tutorial whilst on a shoot in and around Cairo Jayne and I thought we'd try this: 'How to use a tobacco grad filter to create a natural looking sunset when the sun is setting somewhere else!' Photographic filters sometimes have a reputation for looking a bit 'naff'. However used with a bit of thought and planning they can help you shoot exactly the image you're looking for. Hope you enjoy the video. If you fancy it why not try a free sample of one of our courses by visiting www.photographycourses.biz Happy shooting -- Mike and Jayne

Nice video however:

NO respectable photographer is caught with out at least one tripod (even one of those little ones).

This could be done in Photoshop almost as easy, if not easier.

[photoexposed]

@fret2424 Agreed - however many people (myself included) don't like sitting indoors on the computer any more than absolutely necessary and prefer to be out there taking pictures.

hey great video, what is that card called again that you used to add the mood to the sunset.  thanks for your help.

@vilentone This one's a cokin Tobacco grad. They're OK but if you can afford it go for a Lee filter which I think are better quality.

Sweet!
