I try to get to the location where I’ll be taking sunset or sunrise pictures half hour or more before it occurs. To decide where I want to take the picture from and then have the camera equipment I’ll need ready. Knowing ahead of time where the sun will rise or set will be of great help when locating the ideal spot to take the pictures from. Also being comfortable will help me get the right image, even more so in the middle of the winter. It’s hard to focus on photography when I’m thinking about staying warm. Extra layer is always appreciated when standing in one area. If I’m comfortable, I can relax and enjoy the views as the light keep changing the look of the landscape around me. The experience of being out there during sunrises and sunsets is one of the best things about being in the mountains. Each experience is unique and trying to capture that on an image is always the challenge.
