When sunset shoots GO BAD!

You know the expression "when life gives you lemons - make lemonade'? Well on this shoot, I had a whole basket full of different varieties of lemons to choose from. What do you think, did we end up with some sweet lemonade - or some funky sour citrus juice? :-)

Tropical island sunset photoshoot.

I love going to Cheung Chau - it is a tradition of mine. A few days of relaxation, good food and photography.

Check out the map here: http://g.co/maps/zm3r9

I will be visiting every part of the island and bringing you along, doing photography tutorials and gear reviews along the way, so stay tuned!

Gear used on this shoot was:
Nikon D3s
Nikon D5100
Nikon 24-70mm
Tamron 10-24mm
Gitzo tripod
Joby Gorillapod
Kata MiniBee UL-111

Hi Matt, I'm sure you know this iphone/android app. But just for other viewers' knowledge... you could have used "The Photographer's Ephemeris" to know the Sun's position precisely before the shoot. Very handy app.
